State whether the following statements are True or False:
$(i)$ The Bernoulli equation can be considered to be a statement of the conservation of energy.
$(ii)$ The angle of contact between a drop of water and the material of a raincoat is an acute angle.
$(iii)$ The absence of roughness between two consecutive layers of fluid is the definition of viscosity.

(N/A) $(i)$ True. The Bernoulli equation is derived from the work-energy theorem,representing the conservation of energy for an incompressible,non-viscous,and steady flow of fluid.
$(ii)$ False. Raincoats are made of hydrophobic materials to repel water. The angle of contact between water and a hydrophobic surface is an obtuse angle (greater than $90^{\circ}$),which prevents the water from wetting the fabric.
$(iii)$ False. Viscosity is actually the measure of the internal friction or resistance to flow between adjacent layers of a fluid moving at different velocities. It is the presence of internal friction,not its absence,that defines viscosity.

Why can liquids flow?

$A$ table tennis ball has radius $(3 / 2) \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}$ and mass $(22 / 7) \times 10^{-3} \text{ kg}$. It is slowly pushed down into a swimming pool to a depth of $d = 0.7 \text{ m}$ below the water surface and then released from rest. It emerges from the water surface at speed $v$,without getting wet,and rises up to a height $H$. Which of the following option$(s)$ is (are) correct?
[Given: $\pi = 22 / 7, g = 10 \text{ ms}^{-2}$,density of water $= 1 \times 10^3 \text{ kg m}^{-3}$,viscosity of water $= 1 \times 10^{-3} \text{ Pa-s}$.]
$(A)$ The work done in pushing the ball to the depth $d$ is $0.077 \text{ J}$.
$(B)$ If we neglect the viscous force in water,then the speed $v = 7 \text{ m/s}$.
$(C)$ If we neglect the viscous force in water,then the height $H = 1.4 \text{ m}$.
$(D)$ The ratio of the magnitudes of the net force excluding the viscous force to the maximum viscous force in water is $500 / 9$.

Explain why bullets of a gun are cylindrical in shape.

Two identical cylindrical vessels with their bases at the same level, each contains a liquid of density $d$. The height of the liquid in one vessel is $h_1$ and that in the other vessel is $h_2$. The area of either base is $A$. The work done by gravity in equalizing the levels when the two vessels are connected is
