a) m2/s
b) m3/s
c) m/s
d) m3/s2
View Answer
Explanation: m3/s is the SI unit of volumetric flow rate, where “m” and “s” denotes meter and seconds respectively. Volumetric flow rate represents the rate at which a particular volume of fluid flows through a cross section area in 1 second.
5. High turbidity is bad for aquatic life.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: High turbidity is bad for aquatic life. Turbidity refers to the amount of sediments present in the water. High turbidity can block the sunlight which is essential for the aquatic plants to live. The turbidity contains several pathogens which may be harmful for the aquatic life.
6. Ultrasonic flow meter works on Doppler Effect.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: Ultrasonic flow meter works on Doppler Effect. Ultrasonic flow meters are generally used for monitoring dirty water such as sewage waste water. It can detect large suspended particles and bubbles flowing through the channel.

a) 0.5
b) 0.75
c) 0.0157
d) 0.0628
View Answer
Explanation: Given:
Radius(r)=0.1m
Cross section area=pi*r2
Cross section area=3.14*(0.2)2=>0.1256
Velocity of the liquid=0.5 m/s
Flow rate= Cross section area*Velocity of the liquid
Flow rate=0.1256*0.5=>0.0628m3/s
9. What is the flow rate of a liquid flowing through a cylindrical pipe of cross section area 0.2m2 and velocity of the liquid is 0.5 m/s?
a) 0.5
b) 0.75
c) 0.25
d) 0.1
View Answer
Explanation: Given:
Cross section area=0.2m2
Velocity of the liquid=0.5m/s
Flow rate=Cross section area*Velocity of the liquid
Flow rate=0.2*0.5=0.1m3/s

Explanation: FMA-PC16 is a mass flow meter. SLB700A/06VA is an example of force sensor. MSP430G2ET is a development board manufactured by the “TEXAS INSTRUMENTS” and CMCP793V-500 is a velocity sensor.
11. Which liquid has lowest density?
a) Acetic acid
b) Pure water
c) Olive oil
d) Sea Water
View Answer
Explanation: Olive oil has lowest density. Its density is 911kg/m3. Pure water has a density of 1000 kg/m3 and Sea Water has a density of 1022 kg/m3. Acetic acid has the highest density among the four, with a density of 1049 kg/m3.
12. Which liquid will have more mass for same amount of volume?
a) Brine
b) Chloroform
c) Olive oil
d) Sea Water
View Answer
Explanation: We know density=mass/volume
Since volume is constant so, mass is directly proportional to liquid. Therefore the liquid with highest density has the highest mass.
Olive oil has density is 911 kg/m3. Sea Water has a density of 1022kg/m3. Brine has a density of 1230kg/m3. Chloroform has the highest density among the four, with a density of 1489 kg/m3.
Therefore chloroform will have the highest mass.
13. Which liquid will have more mass for same amount of volume?
a) Coconut oil
b) Phosgene
c) Castor oil
d) Sea Water
View Answer
Explanation: We know density=mass/volume
Since volume is constant so, mass is directly proportional to liquid. Therefore the liquid with highest density has the highest mass.
Castor oil has density is 952 kg/m3. Sea Water has a density of 1022kg/m3. Coconut oil has a density of 930kg/m3. Phosgene has the highest density among the four, with a density of 1378kg/m3.
Therefore Phosgene will have the highest mass.

15. What is the SI unit of flow rate of a Liquid or fluid?
a) m3/s
b) m2/s
c) m/s
d) m3/s2
View Answer
Explanation: m3/s is the SI unit of flow rate of a Liquid. Flow rate is calculated by considering unit of volume flowing in one second. SI unit of volume is m3 and time is seconds, which gives the SI unit of flow as m3/s.
