It should be immersed horizontally such that breadth is partially immersed It should be immersed such that height is partially immersed It should be immersed vertically such that length is partially immersed None of the mentioned. 13 / 25 Both ends of a U-tube manometer are exposed to the atmosphere. There exists a possibility that the height difference of the manometer is non-zero. True or False? True False 14 / 25 Proper explanation for metacentre is: All of the mentioned. point about which body starts oscillating when it is given small angular displacement Intersection of line passing through new centre of buoyancy and centre of gravity. Point at which line of action of force meets the normal axis of body when it is given angular displacement 15 / 25 How can relatively denser object be made to float on the less dense fluid? By altering the forces acting on the object None of the mentioned By altering the shear forces acting on the object By altering the shape. 16 / 25 What is the principal cause of action of buoyant force on a body submerged partially or fully in fluid? Displacement of fluid due to submerged body Internal shear forces mitigating external forces None of the mentioned Development of force due to dynamic action 17 / 25 A stone weighs 650 N in air and 275 N in water. Compute its specific gravity. 0.865 2.45 1.73 3.46 18 / 25 A student wants to find the absolute pressure of water at a point below the surface of water. He has a barometer and a manometer pressure gauge. The barometer reads 1.3152 bar where as the manometer pressure gauge reads 0.3152 bar. What is the absolute pressure? (Assume that pressure at one end of the manometer is atmospheric.) 0.3152 bar 1.3152 bar 1.6304 bar 1 bar 19 / 25 The floating body is said to be in stable equilibrium if the metacentre is below the centre of gravity. True False. 20 / 25 For a completely immersed body, the metacentric height is always zero. True False 21 / 25 In case of spherically shaped bodies of uniform mass distribution and completely immersed in fluid and floating, the centre of buoyancy coincides with centre of gravity. True False 22 / 25 A simple U-tube manometer can measure negative gauge pressures. True False 23 / 25 In stable equilibrium for completely submerged bodies what is the relation between forces? Buoyancy force=Weight of body, the centre of buoyancy is above the centre of gravity. None of the mentioned. Buoyancy force < Weight of body Buoyancy force= Weight of body,the centre of buoyancy is below the centre of gravity. 24 / 25 As a balloon rises in the air its volume increases, at the end it acquires a stable height and cannot rise any further.
