A $$U$$-tube manometer with a small quantity of mercury is used to measure the static pressure difference between two locations $$A$$ and $$B$$ in a conical section through which an incompressible fluid flows. At a particular flow rate, the mercury column appears as shown in the figure. The density of mercury is $$13600$$ $$kg/{m^3}$$ and $$g = 9.81$$ $$m/{s^2}.$$ Which of the following is correct?

In case of one dimensional heat conduction in a medium with constant properties, $$T$$ is the temperature at position $$x,$$ at time $$t.$$ Then $${{\partial T} \over {\partial t}}$$ is proportional to

Heat flows through a composite slab, as shown below. The depth of the slab is $$1$$ $$m.$$ the $$k$$ values are in $$W/m. K.$$ The overall thermal resistance in $$K/W$$ is

A small copper ball of $$5$$ $$mm$$ diameter at $$500$$ $$K$$ is dropped into an oil bath whose temperature is $$300$$ $$K.$$ the thermal conductivity of copper is $$400$$ $$W/m.$$ $$K,$$ its density $$9000\,\,kg/{m^3}$$ and its specific heat $$385\,J/kg.\,\,K.$$ if the heat transfer coefficient is $$250\,\,W/{m^2}K$$ and lumped analysis is assumed to be valid, the rate of fall of the temperature of the ball at the beginning of cooling will be, in $$K/s.$$
