The tunnels that are made to shortcut minor local obstacles are called1. Spiral tunnels2. Short tunnels3. Off-spur tunnels4. Saddle tunnels

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : Off-spur tunnels

Explanation:

Tunnel is defined as an underground passage for the transport of passengers, water, sewage minerals, gas, etc.

Based on alignment tunnels are classified as follows:

i) Off-spur tunnels: These are short length tunnels to negotiate minor local obstacles, which cannot be avoided by permitted curves.

ii) Saddle or base tunnels: These tunnels are constructed along the natural slopes till the slopes do not exceed the ruling gradient.

iii) Slope tunnels: These tunnels are constructed in steep hills for economic and safe operations of roads and railways.

iv) Spiral tunnels: These tunnels are provided in narrow valleys in the form of loops in the interior of the mountain so as to increase the length of the tunnel to avoid steep slopes.

25.

Railway tunnels, are generally1. polycentric2. rectangular3. parabolic4. circular

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : polycentric

Explanation

  • The size of the tunnel is determined by its utility.
  • For irrigation purposes, the tunnel is generally designed to run full & if the lining is of concrete, the velocity is taken as 366 cm/sec.
  • In the case of road tunnels, it will depend on no. of traffic lanes & in the case of railway tunnels, it will depend on the no. of lines & type of gauge.

The shape of the tunnel is determined by the material of which the cross-section is built & the material through which the tunnel is bored.

  • If the ground is made up of solid rock, then the tunnel can be given any shape.
  • Tunnels in rocky terrains are generally designed with a semicircular arch with vertical sidewalls.
  • In the case of soft ground such as that consisting of soft clay or sand, the pressure from the sides and the top must be resisted. A circular tunnel is generally best suited for resisting both internal and external forces regardless of the purpose for which the tunnel is used.
  • To get the required shape of the tunnel section, we use Trimmers.
  • Trimmers are the shot holes drilled around the periphery of a shaft or tunnel that break or trim the sides of the excavation to the shape and size required.

Commonly adopted for tunneling and the purposes these tunnels

ShapePurpose
Circular Water and Sewage
EllipticalWater and sewage main
HorseShoeRoads and Railways
Arched roof with vertical wallsRoads and Railways
Polycentric cross-sectionRoads and Railways

So from the above options, Option1 is correct (Polycentric)

A conducting sphere of radius r has a charge . Then .A. the charge is uniformly distributed over its surface, if there is no external electric fieldB. the distribution of charge over its surface will be nonuniform if an external electric field exists in the space.C. the potential at every point of the sphere must be the sameD. the electric field strength inside the sphere will be equal to zero only when no external electric field exists.

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B::C
a.,b.,c.
If there is no external electric field, then the charge given to a conducting sphere gets uniformly distributed over its surface. Therefore, option (a) is correct. If an external electric field exists, then the charge gets distributed over the surface of the sphere in such a way that the electric field inside the sphere can become equal to zero. Hence. distribution of the charge on the surface of sphere will be non-uniform. Therefore, option (b) is correct. Obviously, option (d) is wrong.
Since electric field inside the conducting sphere is equal to zero. potential difference between two points in the sphere is equal to zero. It means , the potential is same at every point of the sphere. Therefore, option (c) is correct.
28.

When object `O` moves towards a fixed lens mirror combination, select correct choice/choices:A. Image moves towards negative x-axisB. Speed of image and object may be sameC. Image may move faster then objectD. Image may come closer to arrangement

The above lens mirror combination is an equivalent converging mirror.
29.

When a positively charged sphere is brought near a metallic sphere, it is observed that a force of attraction exists between the two. It means thatA. the metallic sphere may be electrically neutralB. the metallic sphere is necessarily negatively chargedC. nothing can be said about the charge of the metallic sphere.D. the metallic sphere may be negatively charged

Answer» Correct Answer - A::D
a.,d.
Suppose a positively charged sphere is brought near an unchanged metallic sphere, then on nearer surface of the uncharged sphere, negative charge is induced and on farther will obsrved between these two shperes. Therefore, if a force of attraction is observed between a positively charged sphere and a metallic sphere, it cannot be conclued that the metallic sphere is necessarily negatively charged. Therefore, option (b) is wrong and option (a) and (d) are correct.
30.

The electric potetnial in a region along x-axis varies with `x` according to the releation `V(x) = 4 xx 5x^(2)`. Then the incorrect statement isA. potential difference between the points x = 1 and x = -2 is 15 V.B. the force experienced by the above charge will be towards the +x-axis.C. a uniform electric field exists in this region along the +x-axis.D. force experienced by a 1 C charge at x = -1 will be 10 N.

Answer» Correct Answer - A::C::D
a.,c.,d.
`V(x)=4+5x^(2)`
`V(x=1)=9V`
And `V(x=-2)=24V`
Hence, `DeltaV=15V`
`E=-(DeltaV//Deltax)=-10x`
`therefore E(atx=-1m)=10NC^(-1)`
So, `F=qE=+10N` (along positive `x-` axis).

A converging mirror forms real image of object AB on screen. Now a hole is made on mirror just in front of point B, select incorrect options:A. Image of point B will be absent on screenB. image of point B will be slightly below the previous position in screen.C. image of point B will be at the same place where it was formed earlierD. Two images of point B will be formed

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B::D

A converging lens of focal length f is placed in front of a fixed object, at a distance f from it. The lens is then moved away from the object with a constant velocity. The velocity of the image will (a) be constant (b) always be directed towards the object (c) pass through a maximum (d) be zero when the distance of the lens from the object is 2f

Answer»

Correct Answer is: (d) be zero when the distance of the lens from the object is 2f

Let u = object distance, v = image distance.

x = |u| + v = the distance of the image from the fixed object.

The velocity of the image = x .

x becomes minimum for |u| = v = 2f

Hence, x = 0.

An electric charge `2 xx 10^(-8) C` is placed at the point `(1,2,4)`. At the point `(3,2,1)` , the electric (i) potential will be `50 V` (ii) field will have no `Y`-component (iii) field will increase by a factor `K` if the space between the points is filled with a dielectric of constant `K` (iv) field will be along `Y`-axisA. field will increase by a factor K if the space between the points is filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant KB. field will be along the y-axis.C. potential will be 49.9 V.D. field will have no y-components.

Answer» Correct Answer - C::D
c.,d.
`vecr_(p)=hati+2hatj+4hatk,vecr_(q)=3hati+2hatj+hatk`
`[vecr_(q)-vecr_(p)]=sqrt((2)^(2)+(-3)^(2))=sqrt(13)`
As `q=2xx10^(-8)C`,
`V=(1)/(4piepsilon_(0))(q)/([vecr_(q)-vecr_(p)])`
`=(9xx10(9)xx2xx10^(-8))/(sqrt(13))=49.9V`
`vecE=(1)/(4piepsilon_(0))(q)/([vevr_(q)-vecr_(p)]^(2))((vecr_(q)-vecr_(p)))/([vecr_(q)-vecr_(p)])`
`=(1)/(4piepsilon_(0))(q)/([vecr_(q)-vecr_(p)]^(3))(2hati-3hatk)`
(By filling a dielectric of dielectric constant `K`, electric field gets decreases as `E=E_(0)//K` and `Kgt1`)
34.
