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. \(7\times10^4~\text{kg}\)

For the figures given below, the correct observation is:
              

1. pressure at the bottom of the tank (a) is greater than at the bottom of the tank (b).
2. pressure at the bottom of the tank (a) is lesser than at the bottom of (b).
3. pressure depends upon the shape of the container.
4. pressure at the bottom of (a) and (b) are the same.

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
