A gas in equilibrium has uniform density and pressure throughout its volume. This is strictly true only if there are no external influences. A gas column under gravity, for example, does not have uniform density (and pressure). As you might expect, its density decreases with height. The precise dependence is given by the so-called law of atmospheres n2 = n1 exp [-mg (h2 h1)/ kBT] Where n2, n1 refer to number density at heights h2 and h1 respectively. Use this relation to derive the equation for sedimentation equilibrium of a suspension in a liquid column: n2 = n1 exp [-mg NA( - P) (h2 h1)/ (RT)] Where is the density of the suspended particle, and that of surrounding medium. [NA is Avogadros number, and R the universal gas constant.] [Hint: Use Archimedes principle to find the apparent weight of the suspended particle.]

(a) When air is blown under a paper, the velocity of air is greater under the paper than it is above it. As per Bernoullis principle, atmospheric pressure reduces under the paper. This makes the paper fall. To keep a piece of paper horizontal, one should blow over it. This increases the velocity of air above the paper. As per Bernoullis principle, atmospheric pressure reduces above the paper and the paper remains horizontal. (b) According to the equation of continuity: Area Velocity = Constant For a smaller opening, the velocity of flow of a fluid is greater than it is when the opening is bigger. When we try to close a tap of water with our fingers, fast jets of water gush through the openings between our fingers. This is because very small openings are left for the water to flow out of the pipe. Hence, area and velocity are inversely proportional to each other.
