Group-I indicates different properties of fluid and Group-II defines their basic dimensions in terms of Force (F), Length (L), and Time (T).
Which one of the following options identifies the correct match between Group-I and Group-II?
Show Hint
- P = 1, Q = 3, R = 2
- P = 2, Q = 1, R = 3
- P = 3, Q = 2, R = 1
- P = 2, Q = 3, R = 1
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
1. Dynamic viscosity (P): Dynamic viscosity is the measure of a fluid's resistance to flow and has the dimension \( {M} \cdot {L}^{-1} \cdot {T}^{-1} \), which simplifies to \( {F} \cdot {L}^{-2} \cdot {T} \), corresponding to option 2 in Group-II. Therefore, P matches with 2.
2. Surface tension (Q): Surface tension is the force per unit length acting along the surface of a liquid. Its dimensional formula is \( {F} \cdot {L}^{-1} \), which matches option 3 in Group-II. Thus, Q matches with 3.
3. Density (R): Density is defined as mass per unit volume, and its dimensional formula is \( {M} \cdot {L}^{-3} \). It is equivalent to \( {F} \cdot {L}^{-1} \), which corresponds to option 1 in Group-II. Hence, R matches with 1.
Therefore, the correct match is: P = 2, Q = 3, R = 1.
Thus, the correct answer is (D) P = 2, Q = 3, R = 1.
Top Questions on Fluid Mechanics
- An oil of density \(870 \, {kg/m}^3\) and viscosity \(0.036 \, {Pa.s}\) flows through a straight pipe of 10 cm diameter and 1.5 km length at the flow rate of 250 liters per minute under the steady and incompressible flow conditions.
To control the flow rate of oil, a valve is fixed at the middle of the pipe causing no change in the total length of the pipe. The total head loss measured across the two ends of the pipe is \(11.60 \, {m}\). Using gravitational acceleration as \(10 \, {m/s}^2\), the minor head loss contributed by the presence of the valve in m {(rounded off to 2 decimal places) is ..........}- GATE XE - 2025
