Instructions
- This booklet consists of 27 pages (excluding this sheet) and total of 7 questions.
- This booklet is divided in two parts: Questions with Summary Answer Sheet and Detailed Answer Sheet. Write roll number at the top wherever asked.
- The final answer to each sub-question should be neatly written in the box provided below each sub-question in the Questions & Summary Answer Sheet.
- You are also required to show your detailed work for each question in a reasonably neat and coherent way in the Detailed Answer Sheet. You must write the relevant Question Number(s) on each of these pages.
- Marks will be awarded on the basis of what you write on both the Summary Answer Sheet and the Detailed Answer Sheet. Simple short answers and plots may be directly entered in the Summary Answer Sheet. Marks may be deducted for absence of detailed work in questions involving longer calculations. Strike out any rough work that you do not want to be considered for evaluation.
- Adequate space has been provided in the answersheet for you to write/calculate your answers. In case you need extra space to write, you may request additional blank sheets from the invigilator. Write your roll number on the extra sheets and get them attached to your answersheet and indicate number of extra sheets attached at the top of this page.
- Non-programmable scientific calculators are allowed. Mobile phones cannot be used as calculators.
- Use blue or black pen to write answers. Pencil may be used for diagrams/graphs/sketches.
- This entire booklet must be returned at the end of the examination.

Solutions of Indian National Physics Olympiad – 2018
The key cover repeats the date, roll-number form, APhO participation question, nine instructions, thirteen constant rows, seven-question score table and HBCSE address of the question cover, but prints “16 pages (excluding this sheet)”. The retained key has eighteen PDF pages: the cover, sixteen numbered pages and one appended handwritten graph sheet.
On its next page the key states: ANY ALTERNATIVE METHOD OF SOLUTION TO ANY QUESTION THAT IS SCIENTIFICALLY AND MATHEMATICALLY CORRECT, AND LEADS TO THE SAME ANSWER WILL BE ACCEPTED WITH FULL CREDIT. PARTIALLY CORRECT ANSWERS WILL GAIN PARTIAL CREDIT.
Условие
A small circular hole of diameter is punched on the side and the near the bottom of a transparent cylinder of diameter . The hole is initially sealed and the cylinder is filled with water of density . It is then inverted onto a bucket filled to the brim with water. The seal is removed, air rushes in and height of the water level (as measured from the surface level of the water in the bucket) is recorded at different times (). The figure below and the table in part (c) illustrates this process. Assume that air is an incompressible fluid with density and its motion into the cylinder is a streamline flow. Thus its speed is related to the pressure difference by the Bernoulli relation. Take the outside pressure to be atmospheric pressure .

a) Obtain the dependence of the instantaneous speed of the water level in the cylinder on .

Source note: The key’s final PDF page is a scanned completed version of the native graph sheet marked “INPhO 2018 Page 26 Detailed Answers”. It contains the eight plotted data points, fit, construction lines, marked coordinates, units, scales, intercept and height calculation. The whole sheet remains available, including its printed header and the original handwritten vertical label. The preceding printed key gives the accepted ranges; no unprinted point table or additional fitted answer has been supplied.
