A solid sphere, of radius R acquires a terminal velocity v₁ when falling (due to gravity) through a viscous fluid having a coefficient of viscosity . The sphere is broken into 27 identical solid spheres. If each of these spheres acquires a terminal velocity, v₂, when falling through the same fluid, the ratio (v₁/v₂) equals :

The number density of molecules of a gas depends on their distance r from the origin as, $$n\left( r \right) = {n_0}{e^{ - \alpha {r^4}}}$$. Then the total number of molecules is proportional to :

A uniform cylindrical rod of length L and radius r, is made from a material whose Young’s modulus of Elasticity equals Y. When this rod is heated by temperature T and simultaneously subjected to a net longitudinal compressional force F, its length remains unchanged. The coefficient of volume expansion, of the material of the rod, is (nearly) equal to :

Water from a tap emerges vertically downwards with an initial speed of 1.0 ms^–1 . The cross-sectional area of the tap is 10^–4 m². Assume that the pressure is constant throughout the stream of water and that the flow is streamlined. The cross-sectional area of the stream, 0.15 m below the tap would be : (Take g = 10 ms^–2)
