Explain why the roof of a building flies off during a stormy wind.

Glycerine of density $1.25 \times 10^3 \ kg/m^3$ is flowing in a conical-shaped horizontal pipe. The cross-sectional area of the pipe at its two ends is $10 \ cm^2$ and $5 \ cm^2$ respectively. The pressure difference between the two ends is $3 \ N/m^2$. The rate of flow of the liquid in the pipe is:

Consider a water tank as shown in the figure. Its cross-sectional area is $0.4\, m^{2}$. The tank has an opening $B$ near the bottom whose cross-sectional area is $1\, cm^{2}$. $A$ load of $24\, kg$ is applied on the water at the top. When the height of the water level is $40\, cm$ above the bottom,the velocity of water coming out of the opening $B$ is $v\, ms^{-1}$. The value of $v$,to the nearest integer,is ......$m/s$. [Take value of $g$ to be $10\, ms^{-2}$]

$A$ plane is in level flight at constant speed and each of its two wings has an area of $40 \,m^2$. If the speed of the air is $180 \,km/h$ over the lower wing surface and $252 \,km/h$ over the upper wing surface,the mass of the plane is . . . . . . $kg$. (Take air density to be $1 \,kg \,m^{-3}$ and $g=10 \,ms^{-2}$)
