  • B
    Increase of $6.25 \ gm-wt$
  • C
    Decrease of $12.5 \ gm-wt$
  • D
    Decrease of $6.25 \ gm-wt$

$A$ cylindrical vessel filled with water up to a height of $H$ stands on a horizontal plane. The side wall of the vessel has a plugged circular hole touching the bottom. The coefficient of friction between the bottom of the vessel and the plane is $\mu$ and the total mass of the water plus the vessel is $M$. What should be the minimum diameter of the hole so that the vessel begins to move on the floor if the plug is removed? (Here,the density of water is $\rho$)

There are two holes, one each along the opposite sides of a wide rectangular tank. The cross-section of each hole is $0.01 \,m^2$ and the vertical distance between the holes is $1 \,m$. The tank is filled with water. The net force on the tank in newton when the water flows out of the holes is (Density of water $= 1000 \,kg/m^3$, $g = 10 \,m/s^2$)

$A$ cylinder of height $h$ is filled with water and is kept on a block of height $h/2$. The level of water in the cylinder is kept constant. Four holes numbered $1, 2, 3$ and $4$ are at the side of the cylinder and at heights $0, h/4, h/2$ and $3h/4$ from the base of the cylinder, respectively. When all four holes are opened together, the hole from which water will reach the farthest distance on the plane $PQ$ is the hole number:
