SINGLE CORRECT TYPE

1. A small circular hole of diameter d is punched on the side and the near the bottom of a transparent
cylinder of diameter D. The hole is initially sealed and the cylinder is filled with water of density ρw.
It is then inverted onto a bucket filled to the brim with water. When the seal is removed, air rushes in
and height h(t) of the water level (as measured from the surface level of the water in the bucket) is
observed. Assume that air is an incompressible fluid with density ρa and its motion into the cylinder
is a streamline flow. Thus its speed v is related to the pressure difference P by the Bernoulli relation.
Take the outside pressure P0 to be atmospheric pressure = 1.01 × 105Pa.Obtain the dependence of the

instantaneous speed vw of the water level in the cylinder on h.

the liquid from running out. It is given that net force on the disk applied by the liquid and air in this
case is F. Now the disk is moved away from the opening by a short distance. The liquid comes out and
strikes the disk inelastically. The initial force exerted by the liquid on the disk in this condition is NF.
