MODEL ANSWERS AND SCHEME OF VALUATION

SurfaceTension:

To understand the tension acting on the free surface of a liquid, let us consider two liquid
molecules A and B as shown in fig. Molecule A is well within the liquid, so it is attracted equally in
all directions. Hence the net force on this molecule is zero and it moves freely inside the liquid.
Molecule D is just on the free surface of the liquid. The upper half of the molecule has no liquid
molecule. Hence the molecule B experiences a maximum downward force. Thus all molecules
lying in surface film experiences a net downward force. Therefore, free surface of the liquid
behaves like a stretched membrane and is always under tension.
Bourdon Tube pressure gauge:
Fig shows the Bourdon tube pressure gauge. It consists of a closed-end metallic tube that
is curved in to almost a circle. Sector and pinion arrangement, a pointer and a graduated
scale to measure the deflection. Application of pressure causes the tube to straighten a
small amount and the motion is converted into a rotation of the needle on a dial by the
pinion and sector arrangement. These gauges are simple and rugged. It is used to
measure both gauge and vacuum pressures.
