An aircraft of mass $3 \times 10^5 \ kg$ with total wing area $400 \ m^2$ is in a level flight at a speed of $540 \ km \ h^{-1}$. The density of air at its height is $1.2 \ kg \ m^{-3}$. The fractional increase in the speed of the air on the upper surface of its wings relative to the lower surface is . . . . . . $\left(g=10 \ ms^{-2}\right)$

$A$ bottle has a thin nozzle on top. It is filled with water,held horizontally at a height of $1 \,m$ and squeezed slowly by hands,so that the water jet coming out of the nozzle hits the ground at a distance of $2 \,m$. If the area over which the hands squeeze it is $10 \,cm^{2}$,the force applied by hand is close to .......... $N$ (take $g=10 \,m/s^{2}$ and density of water $=1000 \,kg/m^{3}$).
