A body of mass 36kg falls through a viscous liquid which offers a drag force of 260N on the body. The upthrust on the body at terminal velocity is?

[g = 10ms2]

A.

100N

B.

620N

C.

50N

D.

310N

Correct answer is A

For anybody falling through a viscous liquid, at its terminal velocity. the resultant force acting on its is zero. from the equation: Mg - v - u = 0. where v = viscous drag
U = upthrust Mg = weight of the body.
∴ 36 x 10 - 260 - U = 0
∴ U = 360 - 260 = 100N
Upthrust on the body = 100N.

A 3m3 volume of liquid W of density 200kgm3 is mixed with another liquid L of volume 7m3 and density 150kgm-3. the density of mixture is?

A.

165kgm-3

B.

100kgm-3

C.

265kgm-3

D.

350kgm-3

Correct answer is A

For liquid W, its mass = vol. x density = 3 x 200 =600kg.
similarly, for liquid L, its mass = 7 x 150 = 1050kg
∴ Total mass of mixture = 600kg + 1050kg =1650kg.
similarly total vol.of the mixture = 3m3 + 7m3 =10m3.
∴ density of the mixture = (Total Mass)/Total Mixture = (1650kg)/10m3
=165kgm-3
