Recall the formula of liquid pressure due to column in terms of density of the liquid, the height of the liquid column, and the acceleration due to gravity, P=hρg
⇒76cm×ρHg×g=h×ρL×g
⇒h=76cm×ρLρHg=76cm×76013600=13.6m.

A bullet of mass 10 g moving with 400 m/s penetrates a wall and comes to rest. The loss in kinetic energy is:
There are two inclined surface of equal length (L) and same angle of inclination $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. One of them is rough and the other is perfectly smooth. A given body takes 2 times as much time to slide down on rough surface than on the smooth surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction $\left(\mu_k\right)$ between the object and the rough surface is close to :
A balloon is made of a material of surface tension $S$ and its inflation outlet (from where gas is filled in it) has small area $A$. It is filled with a gas of density $\rho$ and takes a spherical shape of radius $R$. When the gas is allowed to flow freely out of it, its radius changes from $R$ to 0 (zero) in time $T$. If the speed $\eta(r)$ of gas coming out of the balloon depends on $r$ as $r^\alpha$ and $T \propto S^\alpha A^\beta \rho^\gamma R^\delta$ then
Two cities X and Y are connected by a regular bus service with a bus leaving in either direction every T min. A girl is driving scooty with a speed of 60 $\mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}$ in the direction X to Y notices that a bus goes past her every 30 minutes in the direction of her motion, and every 10 minutes in the opposite direction. Choose the correct option for the period T of the bus service and the speed (assumed constant) of the buses.
A ball of mass 0.5 kg is dropped from a height of 40 m . The ball hits the ground and rises to a height of 10 m . The impulse imparted to the ball during its collision with the ground is (Take $\mathrm{g}=9.8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$ )
