Viscosity of the blood, = 2.084 Pa-s
Density of the blood, = 1.06 kg/
Reynolds’s number for laminar flow, = 2000

Two vessels, having the same base area, will have identical force and equal pressure acting on their common base area. Since the shapes of the two vessels are different, the force exerted on the sides of the vessels has non-zero vertical components.
When these vertical components are added, the total force on one vessel comes out to be more than on the other vessel. Hence, when these vessels are filled with water to the same height, they give different readings on the weighing scale.

Atmospheric pressure, = 76 cm of Hg
For figure (a)
Difference between the levels of mercury in the two limbs gives gauge pressure
Hence, gauge pressure = 20 cm of Hg
Absolute pressure = Atmospheric pressure + Gauge pressure = 76 + 20 = 96 cm of Hg
For figure (b),
Difference between the levels of mercury in the two limbs gives gauge pressure
Hence, gauge pressure = - 18 cm of Hg
Absolute pressure = Atmospheric pressure + Gauge pressure = 76 - 18 = 58 cm of Hg
When 13.6 cm of water is poured into the right limb of figure (b)
Relative density of mercury = 13.6
Hence, a column of 13.6 cm of water is equivalent to 1 cm of Mercury.

The fusion and boiling points are given by the intersection point where this parallel line cuts the fusion and vaporization curves. It departs from ideal gas behavior as pressure increases.
(a) At 1 atm pressure and at – 60 °C, it lies left of -56.6 (triple point O). Hence, it lies in the region of vapour and solid phases. Thus, CO2 condenses into solid state directly, without going through liquid phases.
(b) At 4 atm pressure, CO2 lies below 5.11 atm (triple point O). Hence it lies in the region of vaporous and solid phases. Thus, CO2 condenses into solid state directly, without going through liquid

Soap bubble radius, r = 5.0 mm = 5 m
Surface tension of the soap bubble, S = 2.50 N/m
Relative density of soap solution = 1.20, hence density of soap solution, = 1.2 Kg/
Air bubble formed at a depth, h = 40 cm = 0.4 m
1 atmospheric pressure = 1.01 Pa
Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/
We know, the excess pressure inside the soap bubble is given by the relation:
P = = Pa = 20 Pa
Hence, the excess pressure inside the air bubble is given by the relation, P' = = 10 Pa
At a depth of h, the total pressure inside the air bubble = Atmospheric press

(a) The P-T phase diagram for CO2 is shown here. O is the triple point of the CO2 phase diagram. This means that at the temperature and pressure corresponding to this point, the solid, liquid and vaporous phases of CO2 exists in equilibrium.
(b) The fusion and the boiling points of CO2 decreases with a decrease in pressure.
(c) The critical temperature and critical pressure of CO2 are 31 72.9 atm respectively. Even if it is compressed to a pressure greater than 72.9 atm, CO2 will not liquefy above the critical temperature.

The length of the liquid film supported by the weight, l = 40 cm = 0.4 m
The weight supported by the film, W = 4.5 N
Since a liquid film has two free surfaces,
Surface tension = = = 5.625 N/m
In all 3 figures, the liquid is the same, temperature is also the same. Hence the surface tension in (b) and (c) are also going to be the same, with the value of 5.625 N/m and weight supported in each case is also going to be the same, since length of the film is same.

Take the case given in figure (b)

= Area of pipe 1, = Area of pipe 2, = Speed of fluid in pipe 1, = Speed of fluid in pipe 2
From the law of continuity, we have
=
When the area of cross-section in the middle of the venturimeter is small, the speed of the flow of liquid through this part is more. According to Bernoulli's principle, if speed is more, the pressure is less. Pressure is directly proportional to height, hence the level of water in pipe 2 is less. Therefore, figure (a) is not possible.
