Consider a water tank shown in the figure. It has one wall at $x=L$ and can be taken to be very wide in the $z$ direction. When filled with a liquid of surface tension $S$ and density $\rho$, the liquid surface makes angle $\theta_0\left(\theta_0 \ll 1\right)$ with the $x$-axis at $x=L$. If $y(x)$ is the height of the surface then the equation for $y(x)$ is:
(take $\theta(x)=\sin \theta(x)=\tan \theta(x)=\frac{d y}{d x}, g$ is the acceleration due to gravity)
An ideal fluid is flowing in a non-uniform cross-sectional tube $$X Y$$ (as shown in the figure) from end $$X$$ to end $$Y$$. If $$K_1$$ and $$K_2$$ are the kinetic energy per unit volume of the fluid at $$X$$ and $$Y$$ respectively, then the correct option is :

Given below are two statements : One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : The stretching of a spring is determined by the shear modulus of the material of the spring.
Reason (R) : A coil spring of copper has more tensile strength than a steel spring of same dimensions.
