Consider a thin square plate floating on a viscous liquid in a large tank. The height of the liquid in the tank is much less than the width of the tank. The floating plate is pulled horizontally with a constant velocity . Which of the following statements is (are) true?
- A The resistive force of liquid on the plate is inversely proportional to
- B The resistive force of liquid on the plate is independent of the area of the plate
- C The tangential (shear) stress on the floor of the tank increases with
- D The tangential (shear) stress on the plate varies linearly with the viscosity of the liquid
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) The resistive force of liquid on the plate is inversely proportional to
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation

Viscous force is given by since h is very small therefore, magnitude of viscous force is given by
Since plate is moving with constant velocity, same force must be acting on the floor

- Paragraph II: Two particles, 1 and 2 , each of mass \(m\), are connected by a massless spring, and are on a horizontal frictionless plane, as shown in the figure. Initially, the two particles, with their center of mass at \(x_0\), are oscillating with amplitude \(a\) and angular frequency \(\omega\). Thus, their positions at time \(t\) are given by \(x_1(t)=\left(x_0+d\right)+a \sin \omega t\) and \(x_2(t)=\left(x_0-d\right)-a \sin \omega t\), respectively, where \(d>2 a\). Particle 3 of mass \(m\) moves towards this system with speed \(u_0=a \omega / 2\), and undergoes instantaneous elastic collision with particle 2 , at time \(t_0\). Finally, particles 1 and 2 acquire a center of mass speed \(v_{\mathrm{cm}}\) and oscillate with amplitude \(b\) and the same angular frequency \(\omega\).

If the collision occurs at time \(t_0=0\), the value of \(v_{\mathrm{cm}} /(a \omega)\) will be ________ .JEE Advanced 2024 Medium - Three glass cylinders of equal height and same refractive index are placed on a horizontal surface shown in figure.
