(N/A) Turbulence dissipates kinetic energy,usually in the form of heat.
Racing cars and planes are engineered to precision in order to minimize turbulence.
On the other hand,turbulence is sometimes desirable. Turbulence promotes mixing and increases the rates of transfer of mass,momentum,and energy.
The blades of a kitchen mixer induce turbulent flow,which helps in preparing thick milkshakes and beating eggs into a uniform texture.

$A$ vessel containing water is moving with a constant speed towards the right along a straight horizontal path. Which of the following diagrams represents the surface of the liquid?

Water flows through a frictionless duct with a cross-section varying as shown in the figure. Pressure $p$ at points along the axis is represented by:

The Karman line is a theoretical construct that separates the Earth's atmosphere from outer space. It is defined as the height at which the lift on an aircraft flying at the speed of a polar satellite $(8 \, km/s)$ is equal to its weight. Taking a fighter aircraft of wing area $30 \, m^2$ and mass $7500 \, kg$,the height of the Karman line above the ground will be in the range of .............. $km$. (Assume the density of air at height $h$ above the ground to be $\rho(h) = 1.2 e^{-h/10} \, kg/m^3$,where $h$ is in $km$,and the lift force to be $\frac{1}{2} \rho v^2 A$,where $v$ is the speed of the aircraft and $A$ is its wing area.)

$A$ cylindrical tube,with its base as shown in the figure,is filled with water. It is moving down with a constant acceleration $a$ along a fixed inclined plane with angle $\theta=45^{\circ}$. $P_1$ and $P_2$ are pressures at points $1$ and $2$,respectively,located at the base of the tube. Let $\beta=(P_1-P_2) / (\rho g d)$,where $\rho$ is the density of water,$d$ is the inner diameter of the tube,and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) correct?
$(A)$ $\beta=0$ when $a=g / \sqrt{2}$
$(B)$ $\beta>0$ when $a=g / \sqrt{2}$
$(C)$ $\beta=\frac{\sqrt{2}-1}{\sqrt{2}}$ when $a=g / 2$
$(D)$ $\beta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ when $a=g / 2$

An open cubical tank was initially fully filled with water. When the tank was accelerated on a horizontal plane along one of its sides,it was found that one-third of the volume of water spilled out. The acceleration was:
