The following question based on physical properties of materials topic of general science mcq

Questions : A liquid rises in a capillary tube higher than water does. The difference may be due to the fact that

(a) temperature of liquid is higher than that of water

(b) diameter of the capillary may be different in the two cases

(c) surface tension of water is less than that of the liquid

(d) both (a) and (c)

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (c)

The height to which liquid rises in a capillary is given by, h = ${2T}/{rpg}$.

Thus, if the height to which liquid rises is more, the liquid has greater surface tension than water.

Option (b) is not suitable because the diameter of the capillary tube containing liquid should be smaller than the capillary in which water rises. This is not mentioned clearly in option (b).

b)

physics properties of matter mcq question answer 35 option a

c)

physics properties of matter mcq question answer 35 option c

d)

physics properties of matter mcq question answer 35 option d

Answer: (b)

From continuity equation, velocity at cross-section (1) is more than that at cross-section (2).

Hence, $P_1 < P_2$.

Question : 4

Liquid pressure at a point in a liquid does not depend on the

a) shape of the vessel in which the liquid is kept

b) density of liquid

c) depth of the point from the surface

d) acceleration due to gravity

Answer: (a)

Question : 5

Why the dam of water reservoir is thick at the bottom?

a) Density of water increases with depth

b) Quantity of water increases with depth

c) Pressure of water increases with depth

d) Temperature of water increases with depth

Answer: (c)

A torque is acting on the wall of the dam trying to make it topple. The bottom is made very broad so that the dam will be stable.
