Q 1 :

Consider two solid spheres P and Q each of density 8 gm cm-3 and diameters 1 cm and 0.5 cm, respectively. Sphere P is dropped into a liquid of density 0.8 gm cm-3 and viscosity η=3 poiseulles. Sphere Q is dropped into a liquid of density 1.6 gm cm-3 and viscosity η=2 poiseulles. The ratio of the terminal velocities of P and Q is      [2016]

As we know, terminal velocity

VT=2r29η(ρ-σ)g

VPVQ=2r12(σ-ρ1)g9η12r22(σ-ρ2)g9η2

=r12(σ-ρ1)r22(σ-ρ2)×η2η1

=12(0.5)2[8-0.88-1.6]×23=3



Q 2 :

A table tennis ball has radius (32)×10-2 m and mass (227)×10-3 kg. It is slowly pushed down into a swimming pool to a depth of d=0.7 m below the water surface and then released from rest. It emerges from the water surface at speed v, without getting wet, and rises up to a height H. Which of the following option(s) is(are) correct?

[Given: π=227,  g=10m s-2, density of water = 1×103 kg m-3, viscosity of water = 1×10-3 Pa-s.]                     [2024]

  • The work done in pushing the ball to the depth d is 0.077 J

     

  • If we neglect the viscous force in water, then the speed v=7 m/s.

     

  • If we neglect the viscous force in water, then the height H=1.4 m.

     

  • The ratio of the magnitudes of the net force excluding the viscous force to the maximum viscous force in water is 5009.

     

Select one or more options

(1, 2, 4)

(1) Work done in pushing the ball to the depth d=0.7 m

Wall=kf-ki=0

wg+wB+wv+wext=0

mgd-ρw·v·gd-6πηrvd+wext=0

wext=ρw·v·gd-mgd

=(1000×43×227×(32×10-2)3-227×10-3)gd

wext=227×10-3[92-1]×10×0.7=227×10-3×72×7

wext=77×10-3 J=0.077 J

so option (1) is correct.

(2) When ball is released at bottom same work i.e. 0.077 J is done on ball

  12mv2=0.077     v=2×0.077227×10-3=7 m/s

So option (2) is correct

(3) Height H=v22g=4920=2.45 m

so option (3) is incorrect

Net force Fnet=vdg-vρg=0.11 N

And viscous force is maximum when v=7 m/s

 (Fv)max=6πηrv=6×227×10-3×(32×10-2)×7

=18×11×10-5 N

  Fnet(Fv)max=0.1118×11×10-5=5009

so, option (4) is correct



Q 3 :

Two spheres P and Q of equal radii have densities ρ1 and ρ2, respectively. The spheres are connected by a massless string and placed in liquids L1 and L2 of densities σ1 and σ2 and viscosities η1 and η2, respectively. They float in equilibrium with the sphere P in L1 and sphere Q in L2 and the string being taut (see figure). If sphere P alone in L2 has terminal velocity VP and Q alone in L1 has terminal velocity VQ, then                      [2015]

[IMAGE 398]

  • |VP||VQ|=η1η2  

     

  • |VP||VQ|=η2η1  

     

  •  VP·VQ>0  

     

  • VP·VQ<0

Since string is taut, ρ1<σ1 and ρ2<σ2

For floating, net weight of system = net upthrust

(ρ1+ρ2)Vg=(σ1+σ2)Vg

Upward terminal velocity

VP=2r29η2(σ2-ρ1)g

Where r is radius of sphere.

Downward terminal velocity

VQ=2r2(ρ2-σ1)g9η1

  |VPVQ|=η1η2

( ρ1-σ2=σ1-ρ2)

Again VP·VQ<0 i.e., negative as VP and VQ are opposite to each other.
