The temperature of an air bubble while rising from the bottom to the surface of a lake remains constant, but its diameter is doubled. If the pressure on the surface is $h$ meters of mercury column and the relative density of mercury is $\rho$, then the depth of the lake is: (in $\rho h$)

$A$ large number of droplets,each of radius $r$,coalesce to form a bigger drop of radius $R$. An engineer designs a machine so that the energy released in this process is converted into the kinetic energy of the drop. The velocity of the drop is ($T=$ surface tension,$\rho =$ density)

An air bubble of volume $50\, cm^3$ is formed at the bottom of a lake $47.6\, m$ deep. What will be its volume when it reaches the surface? (Atmospheric pressure $= 70\, cm$ of $Hg$ and density of $Hg = 13.6\, g/cm^3$)

An air bubble of volume $V_0$ is released by a fish at a depth $h$ in a lake. The bubble rises to the surface. Assume constant temperature and standard atmospheric pressure $P$ above the lake. The volume of the bubble just before touching the surface will be (density of water is $\rho$):

$A$ cylindrical furnace has height $(H)$ and diameter $(D)$ both $1 \ m$. It is maintained at temperature $T=360 \ K$. The air gets heated inside the furnace at constant pressure $P_a$ and its temperature becomes $T=360 \ K$. The hot air with density $\rho$ rises up a vertical chimney of diameter $d=0.1 \ m$ and height $h=9 \ m$ above the furnace and exits the chimney. As a result,atmospheric air of density $\rho_a=1.2 \ kg \ m^{-3}$,pressure $P_a$ and temperature $T_a=300 \ K$ enters the furnace. Assume air as an ideal gas,neglect the variations in $\rho$ and $T$ inside the chimney and the furnace. Also ignore the viscous effects. [Given: The acceleration due to gravity $g=10 \ ms^{-2}$ and $\pi=3.14$]
$(1)$ Considering the air flow to be streamline,the steady mass flow rate of air exiting the chimney is . . . . .$g \ s^{-1}$.
$(2)$ When the chimney is closed using a cap at the top,a pressure difference $\Delta P$ develops between the top and the bottom surfaces of the cap. If the changes in the temperature and density of the hot air,due to the stoppage of air flow,are negligible then the value of $\Delta P$ is . . . . .$N \ m^{-2}$.
