(b), (c) Streamline flow is more likely for liquids having low density. We know that greater the coefficient of viscosity of a liquid more will be velocity gradient hence each line of flow can be easily differentiated. Also higher the coefficient of viscosity lower will be Reynolds number, hence flow more like to be streamline.

(a), (b) When the coin falls into the water, weight of the (block + coin) system decreases, which was balanced by the upthrust force earlier. As weight of the system decreases, hence upthrust force will also decrease which is only possible when l decreases.
As l decreases volume of water displaced by the block decreases, hence h decreases. As the coin falls into water, it displaces some volume of water which is very less. Hence, we neglect volume of the coin.

(b), (c) Pressure is defined as the ratio of magnitude of component of the force normal to the area and the area under consideration.
As magnitude of component is considered, hence, it will not have any direction. So, Pressure is a scalar quantity.

(b), (d) Consider the diagram where two molecules of a liquid are shown. One is well inside the liquid and other is on the surface. The molecule (A) which is well inside experiences equal forces from all directions, hence net force on it will be zero.
And molecules on the liquid surface have some extra energy as it surrounded by Only lower half side of liquid molecules.

(c) According to the question, the observed meniscus is of convex figure shape. Which is only possible when angle of contact is obtuse. Hence, the combination will be of mercury-glass (140°)
