Figure shows a cubical block of side 10 cm and relative density 1.5 suspended by a wire of cross sectional area `10^(-6) m^(2)`. The breaking stress of the wire is `7 xx 10^(6) N//m^(2)`. The block is placed in a beaker of base area `200 cm^(2)` and initially i.e. at t = 0, the top surface of water & the block coincide. There is a pump at the bottom corner which ejects `2 cm^(3)` of water per sec. Find the time at which the wire will break.

Answer» Correct Answer - 5
Breaking force `=` Breaking stress `xx` area of wire
`= 7 xx 10^(6) xx 10^(-6) = 7N`
weight of block `= vol xx density xx g`
`10^(-3) xx (1.5 xx 10^(3)) xx 10`
`= 15 N`.
The upthrust when the liquid level has decended by `x cm`.
`= 100 (10 - x). 10^(-6). 10^(3). 10`
`= 10 - x` Newton.
`:.` Net downward force on the block `= 15 - (10 - x) = 5 + x = "Tansion" T`
`:.` The wire will break when `5 + x = 7`.
i.e. when `x = 2cm`
Let the level decends by `2 cm` in `t` time
then `2t = (200 - 100).2`
`t = 100 sec`. ........Ans.
`20x = 10 :. x = 5`

A ship made of iron can float in water but an iron needle sinks. Why ?

Answer» The weight of the displaced water by the immersed part of the ship balances the weight of the ship and as a result, the ship floats on water. On lthe other hand, the weight of the displaced water by the needle is less than the weight to the needle and consequently it sinks.

A necklace weighs `50 g` in air, but it weighs `46 g` in water. Assume that copper is mixed with gold to prepare the necklace. Find how much copper is present in it. (Specific gravity of gold is `20` and that of copper is `10`.)A. 10gB. 20gC. 30gD. None

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Let `m` be the mass of copper in neckless.
Mass of gold = (50-m)`
Volume of copper = `V_(1) =m//10`
Volume of gold = `V_(2) = (50-m)/(20)`
when immersed in water `rho_(w) = 1gm//cm^(3)`
Decrease in weight = upthrust
`(50-46)g = (V_(1)+V_(2))rho_(w)g`
`implies 4 = m/10 + (50-m)/(20) implies m = 30 g`.

A fixed thermally conducting cylinder has a radius R and height `L_0`. The cylinder is open at the bottom and has a small hole at its top. A piston of mass M is held at a distance L from the top surface, as shown in the figure. The atmospheric pressure is `P_0`. The piston is now pulled out slowly and held at a distance 2L from the top.

When the piston is pulled out slowly, the pressure drop produced inside the cylinder is almost instantaneously neutralized by the air entering from outside into the cylinder (through the small hole at the top). Therefore, the pressure inside the cylinder is `P_(0)` throughout the slow pulling process.

`:. h={(2)/(9) (r^(2)(rho-sigma)g)/(eta)}^(2)`
`=(2)/(81) xx(r^(4)(rho-sigma)^(2)g)/(eta^(2))`
`=(2)/(81)xx((3xx10^(-4))^(4)(10^(4)-10^(3))^(2)xx9.8)/(9.8xx10^(-6))^(2)`
`=1.65xx10^(3)m`.

A small sphere falls from rest in a viscous liquid. Due to friction, heat is produced. Find the relation between the rate of produced heat and the radius of the sphere at terminal velocity.

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Terminal velocity `(v_T)=(2(r^2)g)/(9 eta)(rho_S-rho_L)`
and viscous force `F=6 pi eta rv_(T)`
Rate of production of heat (Power): as viscous force is the only dissipative force. Hence,

The vertical sections of the wing of a fan are shown. Maximum upthrust is inA. B. C. D.

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Air streams have to cover a larger distance about the surface as compared to the air streams below the surface. So, velocity above the surface is large and consequently the pressure is less. On the other hand velocity below the surface is small and consequent the pressure is large. This explains maximum upthrust in figure.

body of density `rho` is dropped from height h into a liquid having density `sigma(sigmagt rho)` .If the body just touches the of the container, then the distance of fallen would be proprotional to (Neglect viscous forces)A. `(h)/(sigma-rho)`B. `(h)/(sigma+rho)`C. `hxx(sigma-rho)`D. `(hrho)/(sigma-rho)`

Answer» Bouyabt force `Fprop(sigma-rho)`
`:.` Decleration `prop(sigma-rho)rArra=-k(sigma-rho)`
Now, as initial velocity , `u=sqrt(2gh)`
and final velocity .v=o
Distance fellen by the body ,
`s=(2gh)/(2xxk(sigma-rho))" " [:. s=(u^(2))/(2a)]`
`rArr" " sprop(h)/(sigma-rho)`

Water rises in a vertical capillary tube up to a length of 10 cm. If the tube is inclined at `45^@`, the length of water risen in the tube will beA. 10 cmB. `10sqrt(2)cm`C. `5sqrt(2) cm`D. 20 cm

Answer» Correct Answer - B
When capillary tube is tilled through an angle `theta`, then length of water risen in capallary.
`l=h/(cos theta)`
Here, `h=10 cm, theta=45^(@)`
`l=10/(cos 45^(@)) =10 sqrt(2)`

For a stream line flow of water following statements are given below `(a)` Two streamlines do not intersect each other. `(b)` streamlines must be straight. `(c )` streamlines flow is more likely for liquids with low density and height viscosity. `(d)` streamlines flow is more likely for liquids with high density and low viscosity.A. `(a)` and `(b)` are true.B. `(a)` `(b)` and `(c )` are true.C. `(a)` and `(c )` are true.D. All are true.

Answer» Reason : Streamlines may be straight or curved.

Calculate for the rise of water in a capillary tube when kept veritcal in water whose radii is 1/4th of that capillry tube which when kept veritcal water rise in it upto a height of 3 mmA. 12 mmB. 10 mmC. 4 mmD. 3 mm

Answer» `h=(2Scostheta)/(rgp)`
`rArr " " hr=(2Scostheta)/(rhog)`
For the experiment `S,theta,rho,g` are same
`hr=(2Scostheta)/(rhog) ` =constant
`h_(1)r_(1)=h_(2)r_(2)`
`h_(2)=((r)/(r//4))3=13 mm`
