(C) Heavier than water

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given

Diameter of the rod is uniform

The road is floating in a liquid.

Let the area of cross-section of the rod = A

Let the weight density of water = γw

Let the weight density of liquid = γl

Let the density of water = ρw

g is the gravitational force

So, weight of rod = density of the rod X volume

Wrod = ρw X g X ( A X 2L) + 2 ρwg (A X L)

Wrod = 4ρwgAL

Wrod = 4γwAL

We can see that the weight of the rod is more than the density of water. So, in water, the rod will sink.

If the rod is floating on the liquid then the liquid is heavier than the water.

Therefore, The liquid is heavier than the water.

A horizontal pipe of diameter 0.81 m has a smooth constriction to a section of diameter 0.486 m . The density of oil flowing in
Lerok [7]

Answer:

2.06 m³/s

Explanation:

diameter of pipe, d = 0.81 m

diameter of constriction, d' = 0.486 m

radius, r = 0.405 m

r' = 0.243 m

density of oil, ρ = 821 kg/m³

Pressure in the pipe, P = 7970 N/m²

Pressure at the constriction, P' = 5977.5 N/m²

Let v and v' is the velocity of fluid in the pipe and at the constriction.

By use of the equation of continuity

A x v = A' x v'

r² x v = r'² x v'

0.405 x 0.405 x v = 0.243 x 0.243 x v'

v = 0.36 v' .... (1)

Use of Bernoulli's theorem

P+\frac{1}{2} \rho v^{2}=P' +\frac{1}{2}\rho'v'^{2}

7970 + 0.5 x 821 x 0.36 x 0.36 x v'² = 5977.5 + 0.5 x 821 x v'²    from (i)

1992.5 = 357.3 v'²

v' = 5.58 m/s

v = 0.36 x 5.58

v = 2 m/s

Rate of flow = A x v = 3.14 x 0.405 x 0.405 x 2 x 2 = 2.06 m³/s

Thus the rate of flow of volume is 2.06 m³/s.

A car travels 30 miles in 1 hour on a winding mountain road. Which of the following is a true statement?
siniylev [52]

Answer:

The true statement is:

"(C) The magnitude of the average velocity is equal to 30 m.p.h."

Explanation:

Given that a car travels 30 miles in 1 hour on a winding mountain road.

Let' check all the statements one by one:

(A) The magnitude of the total displacement is larger than the distance traveled.

Since the entire motion of the car is not exactly given in the question, so it is not possible to tell whether the magnitude of the total displacement is larger than the distance traveled or not.

Thus, this statement is not true.

(B) The magnitude of the average velocity is greater than 30 m.p.h.

The average velocity of an object is defined as the total displacement covered by the particle divided by the total time taken in covering that displacement.

Total distance covered by the car = 30 miles.

Total time taken by the car to cover this distance = 1 hour.

Therefore, the average velocity of the car for this time interval = \rm \dfrac{30\ miles}{1\ hour }= 30\ m.p.h.

Thus, this statement is also not true.

(C) The magnitude of the average velocity is equal to 30 m.p.h.

As is cleared in part (B) section above, the average velocity of the car in the given time interval is 30 m.p.h.

Thus, this statement is true.

(D)The magnitude of the average velocity is less than to 30 m.p.h.

Since. the average velocity of the car is 30 m.p.h.

Thus, this statement is not true.

(E)The car traveled with a constant speed of 30 m.p.h.

The motion of the car on the mountain road is not thoroughly given in the question, so again it is not possible to tell whether the car traveled with a constant speed of 30 m.p.h. or not.

Thus, this statement is also not true.
