As shown in the figure, a liquid is at the same level in both arms of a $U$-tube of uniform cross-section when at rest. If the $U$-tube moves with an acceleration '$f$' towards the right, the difference between the liquid heights in the two arms of the $U$-tube will be (acceleration due to gravity $= g$):

  • A
    $\frac{f}{g} a$
  • B
    $\frac{g}{f} a$
  • C
    $a$
  • D
    $\frac{f a}{g}$

Two cylindrical vessels of equal cross-sectional area of $2 \ m^2$ contain water up to heights of $10 \ m$ and $6 \ m$,respectively. If the vessels are connected at their bottom,then the work done by the force of gravity is (Density of water is $10^3 \ kg/m^3$ and $g = 10 \ m/s^2$):

$STATEMENT-1$: The stream of water flowing at high speed from a garden hose pipe tends to spread like a fountain when held vertically up,but tends to narrow down when held vertically down.

$A$ ball is made of a material of density $\rho$ where $\rho_{\text{oil}} < \rho < \rho_{\text{water}}$,with $\rho_{\text{oil}}$ and $\rho_{\text{water}}$ representing the densities of oil and water,respectively. The oil and water are immiscible. If the above ball is in equilibrium in a mixture of this oil and water,which of the following pictures represents its equilibrium position?
