Water is flowing continuously from a tap having an internal diameter $$8 \times {10^{ - 3}}\,\,m.$$ The water velocity as it leaves the tap is $$0.4\,\,m{s^{ - 1}}$$ . The diameter of the water stream at a distance $$2 \times {10^{ - 1}}\,\,m$$ below the tap is close to :

A ball is made of a material of density $$\rho $$ where $${\rho _{oil}}\, < \rho < {\rho _{water}}$$ with $${\rho _{oil}}$$ and $${\rho _{water}}$$ representing the densities of oil and water, respectively. The oil and water are immiscible. If the above ball is in equilibrium in a mixture of this oil and water, which of the following pictures represents its equilibrium position?

Two wires are made of the same material and have the same volume. However wire $$1$$ has cross-sectional area $$A$$ and wire $$2$$ has cross-sectional area $$3A.$$ If the length of wire $$1$$ increases by $$\Delta x$$ on applying force $$F,$$ how much force is needed to stretch wire $$2$$ by the same amount?
