It is easier to swim in sea water than in a river water because, the sea water contains salt which increases the density of water and also increases its upthrust $\left[\mathrm{F}=m_{0} g=\right.$ (Volume $\times$ density)g], so the body sinks less in it and we swim easily.

A fire hydrant delivers water of density $\rho $ at a volume rate $L$. The water travels vertically upward through the hydrant and then does $90^o$ turn to emerge horizontally at speed $V$. The pipe and nozzle have uniform cross-section throughout. The force exerted by the water on the corner of the hydrant is

A small spherical monoatomic ideal gas bubble $\left(\gamma=\frac{5}{3}\right)$ is trapped inside a liquid of density $\rho_{\ell}$ (see figure). Assume that the bubble does not exchange any heat with the liquid. The bubble contains n moles of gas. The temperature of the gas when the bubble is at the bottom is $\mathrm{T}_0$, the height of the liquid is $\mathrm{H}$ and the atmospheric pressure is $\mathrm{P}_0$ (Neglect surface tension).
