Question 1

A manometer measures the pressure differential between two locations of a pipe carrying water. If the manometric liquid is mercury (specific gravity 13.6) and the manometer showed a level difference of 20 cm, then the pressure head difference of water between the two tapings will be

Question 2

Four cars, with a mass of 1500 kg each, are loaded on a 6 m wide, 12 m long small car ferry. How deep, in cm will it sink in the water?

Question 3

When a body floating in a liquid is given a small angular displacement, it starts oscillating about a point known as

Question 4

During the experimental determination of metacentric height the movable weight of the ship is found to be 50N & at a distance of 5m from the axis. If the total weight of a ship is 5000N & the angle of tilt is 1˚. The metacentric height is  
(tan1˚=0.017)
