A man rows to a place 48 km distinct and come back in 14 hrs. He finds that he can row 4 km with the stream in the same time as 3 km against the stream. The rate of the stream is: a) 1 km/hr b) 1.5 km/hr c) 1.8 km/hr d) 3.5 km/hr

Answer»

Correct option: a) 1 km/hr

Explanation:

Suppose he moves 4 km downstream in x hrs. 

Then speed downstream = (4/x) km ph; and speed upstream =(3/x) km ph (48/(4/x))+(48/(3/x)) =14 therefore x= ½

Speed upstream= 6 km ph, speed downstream =8 km ph Rate of the stream=1/2*(8-6) = 1 km ph

Answer»

Correct option: d) 5

Explanation:

Rate upstream= (750/675) m/sec =10/9 m/sec tare downstream=(750/450) m/sec =5/3 m/sec

Rate in still water=1/2*((10/9) +(5/3)) m/sec =25/18 m/sec =((25/18)*(18/5)) km/hr = 5 kmph

Answer»

Correct option: d) 24 hrs

Explanation:

Speed upstream=7.5 km ph; speed downstream= 10.5 km ph total time taken= (105/7.5) +(105/10.5) hrs = 24 hrs

A boatman goes 2 km against the current of the stream in 1 hr and goes 1 km along the current in 10 mins. How long will it take to go 5 km in stationary water? a) 40 mins b) 1 hr c) 1 hr 15 mins d) 1 hr 30 mins

Answer»

Correct option: c) 1 hr 15 mins

Explanation:

Rate downstream= (1/10)*60 = 6 km ph

Rate upstream= 2 km ph; speed in still water= 1/2*(6+2) =4 km ph

Required time = 5/4 hrs =1 hr 15 mins

A mixture of He and `O_(2)` has density `1.3 gm//`litre at NTP. Them mole fraction of He isA. `0.1`B. `0.9`C. `0.4`D. `0.6`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`d = 1.3 gm//"litre" = (PM)/(RT)`
`1.3 = (1 xx M)/(0.08 xx 273)`
`M = 1.3 xx 22.4`
`M = 29.12 gm//mol`
`M_(avg) = M_(1)X_(1) xx M_(2) X_(2)`
`29.12 = 4a + 32 - 32a`
`29.12 = 32 - 28a`
`28a = 32 - 29.12`
`a = (2.88)/(28)`
`a = 0.1` Hence, `X_(O_(2)) = 0.9`
`X_(He) = 0.1`

A short conductor AB is held parallel to a long thin conductor CD. They carry currents in the same direction. AB is moved (by an external agent) with a constant velocity v, away from CD, in the plane containing AB and CD. AB remains parallel to CD during the motion. How does the power (P) delivered by the external agent depend on time t? (a) P ∝ t. (b) P ∝ 1/t .(c) P ∝ 1/√t.(d) P is independent of t.

Answer»

Correct Answer is: (b) P ∝ 1/t.

The distance between the conductors is x = vt.

The magnetic field due to CD on AB is = B = μ0I/4πx.

The force on AB is F = Bil. 

Power, P = Fv = Bilv = (μ0I/4πx) ilv = μ0Iilv/4πvt = μ0Iil/4π . 1/t.

∴ P ∝ 1/t.
