प्रश्न
The pressure in the water pipe on the ground floor of a building is 40000 pascals, whereas on the first floor it’s 10000 pascals. Find the height of the first floor. (Acceleration due to gravity g = 10 ms−2)

उत्तर
Pressure on the ground floor of a building = P1 = 40000 Pa
Pressure on the first floor of a building = P2 = 10000 Pa
ρ = 1000 kg/m3 = density of water
Acceleration due to gravity = g = 10 m/s2
Difference in pressure = P1 – P2 = 40000 – 10000 = 30000 Pa
Let h = height of first floor
Pressure of water due to height (h) = hρg
30000 = h × 1000 × 10
h = `30000/10000` = 3 m

Consider a water tank shown in the figure. It has one wall at x = L and can be taken to be very wide in the z direction. When filled with a liquid of surface tension S and density ρ, the liquid surface makes angle θ(θ << 1) with the x-axis at x = L. If y(x) is the height of the surface then the equation for y(x) is:
(take θ(x) = sin θ(x) = tan θ(x) = `dy/dx`, g is the acceleration due to gravity)
