Dancing of small pieces of camphor on the surface of water is due to

• viscosity

• surface tension

• weight

• lifting force

A ballon contains 500 m³ of He at 27°C and 1 atmospheric pressure. The volume of He at − 3°C and 0.5 atmospheric pressure will be

• 700 m³

• 900 m³

• 1000 m³

• 500 m³

The Reynolds number of a flow is the ratio of

• gravity to viscous force

• gravity force to pressure force

• inertia force to viscous force

• viscous forces to pressure force

Rain drops are spherical in shape due to

• acceleration due to gravity

• downward motion

• surface tension

• capillary

Rain drops are spherical in shape, because of

• surface tension

• capillarity

• downward motion

• acceleration due to gravity

If a liquid is flowing through a horizontal tube, then $\mathrm{p} + \frac{1}{2}{\mathrm{\rho V}}^2$= constant. This shows that

• If p increases then V also increases

• p and V both are constant

• If p increases then V decreases

• If p decreases then V also decreases

Water wets the walls of its glass container due to the fact that

• cohesive force is greater than adhesive force

• cohesive force is equal to the adhesive force

• adhesive force is greater than the cohesive force

• cohesive and adhesive forces form action-reaction pair
