umax = 2 uavg
umax = 2 uavg
1.5 = 2uavguavg = 1.5 m /s 2
Q = A × V = A × uavgQ = π d2 × uavg 4 = π × (0.04)2 × 1.5 = 3π m3 /s 4 2 10000
Correct Option: D

V1 = √2gH
V2 = √2g(H + L)
V3 = √2g(H + L)Correct Option: D
V1 = √2gH
V2 = √2g(H + L)
V3 = √2g(H + L)

- A cubic block of side L and mass M is dragged over an oil film across table by a string connects to a hanging block of mass m as shown in figure. The Newtonian oil film of thickness h has dynamic viscosity μ and the flow condition is laminar. The acceleration due to gravity is g. The steady state velocity V of block is

τ = μ du dy
du = V – O – V
dy = hτ = u V ...(1) h Also , τ = F A
where F = mg , A = L2∴ τ = mg ......(2) L2
By (1) (2), we getV = mgh uL2
Correct Option: C
τ = μ du dy
du = V – O – V
dy = hτ = u V ...(1) h Also , τ = F A
where F = mg , A = L2∴ τ = mg ......(2) L2
By (1) (2), we getV = mgh uL2
