Question Style in MHT CET Mechanical Properties of Fluids PYQs

Every question in this PDF is a single-correct MCQ. Questions on surface tension and capillarity form the bulk, and the rest are short formula-based questions.

Question Style	What it Tests
Capillary rise	Capillary tubes of different radii dipped in water and the heights to which the water rises
Soap bubbles and drops	The work done in blowing a soap bubble and the extra work to increase its radius, and the surface tension from the excess pressure inside a bubble
Viscosity	A sphere that reaches its terminal velocity in a viscous fluid, and two solid spheres of mass M and 8M falling through a viscous liquid
Flow of liquids	The nature of the flow for a given Reynolds number, a fluid through a horizontal pipe of changing radius, and two holes drilled in a vessel
Hydrostatic pressure	The depth at which the pressure is two-thirds of the pressure at the bottom of a lake, and a sphere floating in oil over mercury

How to Use the Mechanical Properties of Fluids PYQ PDF for MHT CET

Start with the 2025 and 2026 papers first, because they hold 93 of the 226 questions.
Revise the surface tension formulas first: capillary rise h = 2T cosθ / rρg and excess pressure 2T/r for a drop and 4T/r for a soap bubble.
Keep Stokes' law and the terminal velocity expression together, since the viscosity questions use both.
Solve year-wise PYQs by timing yourself, as time management is crucial.
Re-attempt only the questions you got wrong, and note which formula or step you missed.
