An airplane of a total wing area of \(120~\text{m}^2\) is in a level flight at some height. If the pressure difference between the upper and lower surface is \(2.5~\text{kPa},\) then the mass of the airplane is:
(Take \(g=10~\text{ms}^{-2}\))

1. \(2\times10^3~\text{kg}\)
2. \(3\times10^4~\text{kg}\)
3. \(5\times10^4~\text{kg}\)
4. \(7\times10^4~\text{kg}\)

A liquid is poured into three vessels of the same base area and equal heights as shown in the figure, then:
                          

1. The maximum force on the base will be for the vessel \(C.\)
2. The maximum force on the base will be for the vessel \(B.\)
3. The maximum force on the base will be for the vessel \(A.\)
4. Force on the base will be equal for all the vessels.

The height of a mercury barometer is \(75 ~\text{cm}\) at sea level and \(50 ~\text{cm}\) at the top of a hill. The ratio of the density of mercury to that of air is \(10^4.\) The height of the hill is:

1. \(250 ~\text m\) 2. \(2.5 ~\text {km}\)
3. \(1.25 ~\text {km}\) 4. \(750 ~\text m\)

A vertical \(\mathrm{U}\)-tube of uniform inner cross-section contains mercury in both its arms. A glycerin (density\(=1.3\) g/cm3) column of length \(10\) cm is introduced into one of its arms. Oil of density \(0.8\) g/cm is poured into the other arm until the upper surfaces of the oil and glycerin are at the same horizontal level. The length of the oil column is:
(density of mercury \(=13.6\) g/cm3)
                       
1. \(10.4\) cm
2. \(8.2\) cm
3. \(7.2\) cm
4. \(9.6\) cm

There are four cylindrical vessels identical in dimensions. If these are filled with equal masses of four different liquids \(P, Q, R\) and\( S\) such that their densities are then the pressure at the base of the vessel will be:
1. \(P_P=P_Q=P_R=P_S\) 2. \(P_P>P_Q>P_R>P_S\)
3. \(P_P<P_Q<P_R<P_S\) 4. The data is insufficient to predict the relation
