In an experiment to verify Stokes law, a small spherical ball of radius r and density $$\rho $$ falls under gravity through a distance h in air before entering a tank of water. If the terminal velocity of the ball inside water is same as its velocity just before entering the water surface, then the value of h is proportional to :
(ignore viscosity of air)

A hollow spherical shell at outer radius R floats just submerged under the water surface. The inner radius of the shell is r. If the specific gravity of the shell material is $${{27} \over 8}$$ w.r.t water, the value of r is :

A cube of metal is subjected to a hydrostatic pressure of 4 GPa. The percentage change in the length of the side of the cube is close to :
(Given bulk modulus of metal, B = 8 $$ \times $$ 10¹⁰ Pa)

Two identical cylindrical vessels are kept on the ground and each contain the same liquid of density d. The area of the base of both vessels is S but the height of liquid in one vessel is x₁ and in the other, x₂ . When both cylinders are connected through a pipe of negligible volume very close to the bottom, the liquid flows from one vessel to the other until it comes to equilibrium at a new height. The change in energy of the system in the process is:
