WORKSHEET

1. A 50 kg girl wearing high heel shoes balances on a single heel. The heel is circular with a diameter 1.0 cm. What is the
pressure exerted by the heel on the horizontal floor? (6.24 × 106 𝑃𝑎)
2. Torricelli’s barometer used mercury. Pascal duplicated it using French wine of density 984 kg m -3. Determine the height of the
wine column for normal atmospheric pressure. (10.5 𝑚)
3. A U tube contains water and methylated spirit separated by mercury. The mercury columns in the two arms are in level with
10.0 cm of water in one arm and 12.5 cm of spirit in the other. What is the relative density of spirit? (0.8)
4. In above question, if 15.0 cm of water and spirit each are further poured into the respective arms of the tube, what is the
difference in the levels of mercury in the two arms? (Relative density of mercury = 13.6) (Ans 0.221)
5. Can Bernoulli’s equation be used to describe the flow of water through a rapid motion in a river? Explain.
6. The cylindrical tube of a spare pump has a cross-section of 8.0 cm2 one end of which has 40 fine holes each of diameter 1.0
mm. If the liquid flow inside the tube is 1.5 m min-1, what is the speed of ejection of the liquid through the holes? (0.64 m/s)
7. A U-shaped wire is dipped in a soap solution, and removed. A thin soap film formed between the wire and a light slider
supports a weight of 1.5 x 10-2 N (which includes the small weight of the slider). The length of the slider is 30 cm. What is the
surface tension of the film? (2.5 × 10−2 𝑁/𝑚)
8. Figure (a) below shows a thin film supporting a small weight = 4.5 x 10-2 N. What is the weight supported by a film of the
same liquid at the same temperature in Fig. (b) and (c) Explain your answer physically.

9. A manometer reads the pressure of a gas in an enclosure as shown in Fig. (a) When a pump removes some of the gas, the
manometer reads as in Fig. (b). The liquid used in the manometers is mercury and the atmospheric pressure is 76 cm of
mercury.
(a) Give the absolute and gauge pressure of the gas in the enclosure for cases (a) and (b), in units of cm of mercury.
(b) How would the levels change in case (b) if 13.6 cm of water (immiscible with mercury) is poured into the right limb of 1
the manometer? Ignore the small change in the volume of the gas.

(Ans (a) 58 cm of Hg, -18 cm of Hg, (b) 19 cm of Hg)

10. A plane is in level flight at constant speed and each of its wings has an area of 25 m2. If the speed of the air is 180 km/h over
the lower wing and 234 km/h over the upper wing surface, determine the plane’s mass. (Take air density to be 1 kg/m 3), g =
9.8 m/s2. (Ans 4400 N)
11. In Millikan’s oil drop experiment, what is the terminal speed of an uncharged drop of radius 2.0 x 10-5 m and density 1.2 x
103 kg m-3. Take the viscosity of air at the temperature of the experiment to be 1.8 x 10 -5 Pa-s. How much is the viscous force
on the drop at that speed? Neglect buoyancy of the drop due to air. (Ans 5.81 𝑐𝑚/𝑠, 3.94 × 10−10 𝑁)
12. Six raindrops each of radius 1.5 mm, come down with a terminal velocity of 6 cm s-1. They coalesce to form bigger drops.
What is the terminal velocity of a bigger drop? (Ans 19.84 cm/s)
