  4. all of the above
  5. continuity equation.

Correct answer: (D)
all of the above

2. A body floats in stable equilibrium

  1. when its meatcentric height is zero
  2. when the metancentre is above e.g.
  3. when its e.g. is below it’s center of buoyancy
  4. metacentre has nothing to do with position of e.g. for determining stability
  5. none of the above.

Correct answer: (B)
when the metancentre is above e.g.

3. A bucket of water is hanging from a spring balance. An iron piece is suspended into water without touching sides of bucket from another support. The spring balance reading will

  1. increase
  2. decrease
  3. remain same
  4. increase/decrease depending on depth of immersion
  5. unpredictable.

Correct answer: (C)
remain same

  2. compressive stress
  3. shear stress
  4. bending stress
  5. all of the above.

Correct answer: (C)
shear stress

5. A fluid is said to be ideal, if it is

  1. less
  2. more
  3. equal
  4. less at low temperature and more at high temperature
  5. there is no such criterion.

Correct answer: (B)
more
