$Assertion :$ $A$ thin stainless steel needle can float on a still water surface.
$Reason :$ Any object floats when the buoyancy force balances the weight of the object.

  • A
    If both $Assertion$ and $Reason$ are correct and the $Reason$ is a correct explanation of the $Assertion$.
  • B
    If both $Assertion$ and $Reason$ are correct but $Reason$ is not a correct explanation of the $Assertion$.
  • C
    If the $Assertion$ is correct but $Reason$ is incorrect.

The diagram shows a cup of tea seen from above. The tea has been stirred and is now rotating without turbulence. $A$ graph showing the speed $v$ with which the liquid is crossing points at a distance $X$ from $O$ along a radius $XO$ would look like:

An air bubble rises from the bottom of a water tank of height $5 \ m$. If the initial volume of the bubble is $3 \ mm^3$, what will be its volume as it reaches the surface (in $mm^3$)? Assume that its temperature does not change. $[g=9.8 \ m \ s^{-2}, 1 \ atm=10^5 \ Pa, \text{density of water}=1 \ g/cm^3]$

$A$ vertical $U-$tube of uniform inner cross-section contains mercury in both sides of its arms. $A$ glycerin (density = $1.3 \text{ g/cm}^3$) column of length $10 \text{ cm}$ is introduced into one of its arms. Oil of density $0.8 \text{ g/cm}^3$ is poured into the other arm until the upper surfaces of the oil and glycerin are in the same horizontal level. Find the length of the oil column in $\text{cm}$. (Density of mercury = $13.6 \text{ g/cm}^3$)

Given below are two statements:
$Statement$ $(I)$: Viscosity of gases is greater than that of liquids.
$Statement$ $(II)$: Surface tension of a liquid decreases due to the presence of insoluble impurities.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

$A$ cylindrical vessel of height $500 \ mm$ has an orifice (small hole) at its bottom. The orifice is initially closed and water is filled in it up to height $H$. Now the top is completely sealed with a cap and the orifice at the bottom is opened. Some water comes out from the orifice and the water level in the vessel becomes steady with the height of the water column being $200 \ mm$. Find the fall in height (in $mm$) of the water level due to the opening of the orifice.
[Take atmospheric pressure $= 1.0 \times 10^5 \ N/m^2$,density of water $= 1000 \ kg/m^3$ and $g = 10 \ m/s^2$. Neglect any effect of surface tension.]
