A cylindrical vessel containing a liquid is rotated about its axis so that the liquid rises at its sides as shown in the figure. The radius of vessel is \(5~\text{cm}\) and the angular speed of rotation is \(\omega\) rads–1. The difference in the height, \(h~\text{(in cm)}\) of liquid at the centre of vessel and at the side will be:

          
1. \(\dfrac{25 \omega^2}{2 g} \)

2. \( \dfrac{2 \omega^2}{5 g} \)

3. \( \dfrac{5 \omega^2}{2 g} \)

4. \( \dfrac{2 \omega^2}{25 g}\)

A hydraulic press can lift \(100\) kg when a mass \(m\) is placed on the smaller piston. If the diameter of the larger piston is increased by a factor of \(4\) and the diameter of the smaller piston is reduced by a factor of \(4,\) while keeping the same mass \(m\) on the smaller piston, the press can lift:
1. \(2500 ~\text{kg}\)
2. \(50000 ~\text{kg}\)
3. \(25600 ~\text{kg}\)

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Pressure of fluid is exerted only on a solid surface in contact as the fluid-pressure does not exist everywhere in a still fluid.
Statement-II: Excess potential energy of the molecules on the surface of a liquid, when compared to interior, results in surface tension.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
1. Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
3. Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
4. Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
