A \( 10 cm \) long wire is brought \( 20 cm \) up in a liquid of surface tension 40 dyne \( cm ^{-1} \). Find the work done against surface tension(A) \( 0.8 m J \)(B) \( 1.6 m J \)(C) \( 1.2 m J \)(D) \( 3.2 mJ \)

Answer»

\(T = \frac Fl\)

F = T x l

F = 40 x 10

F = 400 dyne

F = 400 x 10^-5 N

Work done

W = F.S

= \(400 \times 10^{-5} \times \frac{20}{100}\)

= 80 x 10^-5

= 0.8 x 10^-3 J

W = 0.8 mJ

30.	36 kg of gunpowder contains 27 kg of salt, 5.4 kg of charcoal and some amount of sulfur. Find the percentage of sulfur.1. 15%2. 10%3. 8%4. 100%
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 10% Given: Gunpowder = 36 kg Salt = 27 kg Charcoal = 5.4 kg Concept: The percentage of sulfur = (Amount of sulfur / Total amount of gunpowder)× 100 Calculation: Total weight of gunpowder = 36 kg According to the question, Let sulfur be x ⇒ (27 + 5.4 + x) kg = 36 kg ⇒ (32.4 + x) kg = 36 kg ⇒ x = (36-32.4) kg ⇒ x = 3.6 kg The percentage content of sulfur in the gunpowder = (Amount of sulfur / Total amount of gunpowder) 100 ⇒ (3.6/36) × 100% ⇒ 0.1 × 100% ⇒ 10% Therefore, percentage content of Sulfur is 10%.

36 kg of gunpowder contains 27 kg of salt, 5.4 kg of charcoal and some amount of sulfur. Find the percentage of sulfur.1. 15%2. 10%3. 8%4. 100%

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 10%

Given:

Gunpowder = 36 kg

Salt = 27 kg

Charcoal = 5.4 kg

Concept:

The percentage of sulfur = (Amount of sulfur / Total amount of gunpowder)× 100

Calculation:

Total weight of gunpowder = 36 kg

According to the question,

Let sulfur be x

⇒ (27 + 5.4 + x) kg = 36 kg

⇒ (32.4 + x) kg = 36 kg

⇒ x = (36-32.4) kg

⇒ x = 3.6 kg

The percentage content of sulfur in the gunpowder = (Amount of sulfur / Total amount of gunpowder) 100

⇒ (3.6/36) × 100%

⇒ 0.1 × 100%

⇒ 10%

Therefore, percentage content of Sulfur is 10%.
