In an open tube U-manometer filled with mercury and connected to a container of gas, if atmospheric pressure decreases while temperature remains constant, how does this change affect mercury levels?
Mercury level rise In Open Arm
Mercury level rise In Closed Arm
No Change To Mercury Levels
Both Sides Of Mercury Rise Equally

If an experimental fluid exhibits a non-linear increase in viscous drag with increasing speed, which type of flow is most likely occurring within it?
Steady flow
Ideal flow
Turbulent flow
Laminar flow
What is the SI unit of pressure, which might be used to describe the force exerted by a fluid on a surface?
Pascal (Pa)
Joule (J)
Newton (N)
Meter (m)
When considering the flow of fluid over an object causing vortices, what factor primarily determines whether the boundary layer remains laminar or becomes turbulent during this interaction?
The shape of the object, such as whether or not it is streamlined or experiences sharp edges/angles.
The absolute value of flow velocity, regardless of any other properties or conditions.
Laminar to turbulent transition is solely dependent on the nature of the surface finish of the object (smooth/rough).
The Reynolds number based on flow velocity, viscosity, and characteristic length.
What happens to the pressure when you dive deeper into the water?
It increases.
It stays the same.
It decreases.
It first decreases then increases.

When comparing two different but geometrically similar boats floating on water, one being twice as long as the other, what would be the approximate ratio of buoyant forces if both are floating at their respective depths?
Buoyant Force Ratio = 4 : 1
Buoyant Force Ratio = 8 : 1
Buoyant Force Ratio = 2 : 1
Buoyant Force Ratio = Same for both
