Q18. A) Explain why girders are given I shape.
B) Explain why steel is more elastic than rubber.
SECTION- D
Q 19. CASE STUDY QUESTION
Viscosity
Viscosity is, essentially, fluid friction. Like friction between moving solids, viscosity transforms
kinetic energy of (macroscopic) motion into heat energy.
Heat is energy of random motion at the molecular level, so to have any understanding of how
this energy transfer takes place, it is essential to have some picture, however crude, of solids
and/or liquids sliding past each other as seen on the molecular scale.
i)The tangential force or viscous force on any layer of the liquid is directly proportional to the
velocity gradient. Then the direction of velocity gradient is
(a) Parallel to the direction of the flow of the liquid
(b) Opposite to the direction of the flow of the liquid
(c) Independent to the direction of the flow of the liquid
(d) Perpendicular to the direction of flow of the liquid
ii) Viscous force exerted by the liquid flowing between two plates in a streamline flow
depends upon
(a) Velocity gradient in the direction perpendicular in the plates (b) Area of plates
(c) Coefficient viscosity of the liquid (d) All of these
iii) The coefficient of viscosity for hot air is
(a) Greater than the coefficient of viscosity for cold air
(b) Smaller than the coefficient of viscosity for cold air
(c) Same as the coefficient of viscosity for cold air
(d) Increase or decrease depending on the external pressure
iv) While studying about fluid mechanics, the equations and postulates stand for the fluid
which are
(a) Non viscous only(b) Incompressible only (c) Non-viscous and Incompressible (d) Liquid only
SECTION – E
Q 20. A) Explain molecular theory of surface tension
B) Derive an expression for the rise of liquid in a capillary tube.
OR
State Bernoulli’s Principle and apply it to determine the speed of efflux from the side of
container both when its top is closed and open. Hence derive Torricelli’s law.
