    This document contains a 10 question physics worksheet on fluids. It covers topics like: 1) Why blood pressure is higher in the feet than the brain and atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude. 2) Why mercury forms spherical drops on glass while water spreads out, and how surface tension is independent of area. 3) The phenomenon of capillarity and deriving the formula for liquid rise in a capillary tube. 4) How hydraulic lifts work by transmitting pressure over varying areas. 5) Defining terminal velocity and deriving the expression for a sphere's terminal velocity in a viscous fluid. 6) Calculating pressure in hydraulic systems and inside liquid drops based on surface tension,

    CLASS XI/ PHYSICS/ FLUIDS WORKSHEET


    Q1.Explain why
    (a) The blood pressure in humans is greater at the feet than at the brain.
    (b) Atmospheric pressure at a height of about 6 km decreases to nearly half of its value at the sea level, though
    the height of the atmosphere is more than 100 km.
    (c) Hydrostatic pressure is a scalar quantity even though pressure is force divided by area.

    Q2. Explain why


    (a) The angle of contact of mercury with glass is obtuse, while that of water with glass is acute.
    (b) Water on a clean glass surface tends to spread out while mercury on the same surface tends to form drops.
    (Put differently, water wets glass while mercury does not.)
    (c) Surface tension of a liquid is independent of the area of the surface.
    (d) Water with detergent dissolved in it should have small angles of contact.
    (e) A drop of liquid under no external forces is always spherical in shape.

    Q3. (a)What is the phenomenon of capillarity?Derive ascent formula for rise of liquid in a capillary tube.
    (b) Water rises to a height of 20 mm in a glass capillary. To what height will water rise in a capillary with its
    radius half of that of the first one?
    (c) What will happen if the length of the capillary tube is smaller than the height to which the liquid rises?
    Explain briefly.

    Q4. (a) State the principal of a hydraulic lift and explain its working.
    (b) 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?
    (c) A hydraulic automobile lift is designed to lift cars with a maximum mass of 3000 kg. The area of cross-
    section of the piston carrying the load is 425 cm2. What maximum pressure would the smaller piston have to
    bear?

    Q.5 (a) Define terminal velocity . Derive an expression for the terminal velocity of a sphere falling through a
    viscous fluid
    (b) Two exactly similar rain drops falling with terminal velocity of 1 m/s, coalesce to form a bigger drop. Find
    the terminal velocity of the bigger drop.

    Q6.. A hydraulic automobile lift is designed to lift cars with a maximum mass of 3000 kg. The area of
    crosssection of the piston carrying the load is 425 cm2. What maximum pressure would the smaller piston
    have to bear ?

    Q7 (a) What is excess pressure? Explain how it arises. Derive an expression of excess pressure inside a soap
    bubble.
    (b) A soap bubble is blown from a radius of 1 cm to 2 cm. Calculate the work done in doing so, if the surface
    tension of the soap solution is 42 dyne/cm.

    Q8. (a)State and prove Bernoulli’s Theorem.


    (b) Can Bernoulli’s equation be used to describe the flow of water through a rapid in a river? Give reason to
    support your answer.
    Q9. 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?

    Q10. What is the pressure inside a drop of mercury of radius 3.0 mm at room temperature? Surface tension of
    mercury at that temperature (20°C) is 4.65 x 10-1 Nm-1. The atmospheric pressure is 1.01 x 105 Pa. Also give
    the excess pressure inside the drop.
