Two drops of equal radius (R) coalesce to form a bigger drop. What is the ratio of surface energy of bigger drop to smaller one?

A capillary tube is attached horizontally to a constant heat arrangement. If the radius of the capillary tube is increased by 25%, then the rate of flow of liquid will change nearly by

Water is flowing on a horizontal fixed surface such that its flow velocity varies with \(y\) (vertical direction) as \(v=k\left(\frac{2 y^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^3}{a^3}\right)\). If coefficient of viscosity for water is \(2 \eta\). What will the shear stress between layers of water at \(y=a\) ?

A large block of ice 10 cm thick with a vertical hole drilled through it is floating in a lake. The minimum length of the rope required to scoop out a bucket full of water through the hole is (density of ice $=0.9 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^3$ )

A water film is made between two straight parallel wires of length 10 cm each and at a distance of 0.5 cm from each other. If the distance between the wires is increased by 1 mm , then work done (in ergs) is [Given, surface tension of water $=72$ dynes $/ \mathrm{cm}$ ]
