A student did the experiment to find the equivalent resistance of two given resistors, R_(1) and R_(2) first when they are connected in series and next when they are connected in parallel. The two values of the equivalent resistance obtained by him were R_(s) and R_(p) respectively. Compare R_(s)and R_(p).

Answer»

SOLUTION :In SERIES, the equivalent RESISTANCE
`R_(s)=R_(1)+R_(2)`
In PARALLEL, the equivalent resistance
`(1)/(R_(p))=(1)/(R_(1))+(1)/(R_(2))`
`(1)/(R_(p))=(R_(1)+R_(2))/(R_(1)R_(2))`
`R_(p)=(R_(1)R_(2))/(R_(1)+R_(2))`
Clearly, `R_(s)gtR_(p)`.

The diagram in Figure shows the combination of two pulleys P_(1) and P_(2) used to lift up a load W. (a) State the kind of pulleys P_(1) and P_(2). (b) State the function of the pulley P_(2). (c) If the free end C of the string moves throughadistance x, by what distance is the load W raised ? (d) What effort E has to be applied at C to just raise the load W=20 kgf ? Neglect both the weight of the pulley P_(1) and friction.

Answer»

Solution :(a) `P_(1)` is the movable pulley while `P_(2)` is the fixed pulley.
(b) The fixed pulley `P_(2)` is used to CHANGE the direction of effort to be APPLIED, from upward direction to DOWNWARD direction.
(c) If the free end C of the string moves through a distance x, the load W will rise by a distance x/2.
(d) Given W=20kgf, E=?
In EQUILIBRIUM, W=2T and E=T
`therefore` Effort needed E=`(W)/(2)=(20kgf)/(2)=10kgf`.

What is colour-blindness ?

Answer»

Solution : The RETINA of the human eye CONTAINS a large number of light sensitive cells. These cells are of two shapes : (i) rods and (ii) cones.
(2) The cone-shaped cells respond to various colours of light when light is bright.
(3) Thus, the preception of colour is due to the presene of the cone-shaped cells in the retina.
(4) In the retina of some persons, cone-shaped cells RESPONDING to certain specific colours are absent. Hence, these persons are unable to distinguishbetween certain colours , i.e,they are colour-blind. THISDEFECT is known as colour - blindness.
1018.

Give an account of the structure of human eye.

Answer»

Solution :Structure of human eye:
i. Human eye is nearly spherical in shape with a diameter of about 2.4 cm.
ii. Light enters our eye through the thin membrane known as cornea. The maximum refraction of light rays entering the eye takes PLACE from cornea,
iii. Behind the cornea there is a dark fleshy screen called iris. The colour of the iris is different for different people.
iv. At the centre of iris, there is a small opening of variable diameter, called pupil. The pupil controls and regulates the amount of light entering the eye.
v. For bright light, the pupil contracts, while in case of insufficient light, the pupil widens.
vi. There is a transparent biconvex crystalline lens located just behind the pupil also called as eye lens. This lens provides fine adjustment of focal LENGTH. For a normal eye in relaxed position, focal length of eye lens is about 2 cm.
vii. By adjusting focal length of eye lens, real and inverted image of an object is formed on the retina.

viii. Retina is a delicate membrane consisting of large number of light sensitive cells. When light falls on the retina, the cells get activated and produce electrical signals.
ix. These signals are sent to BRAIN through optic nerve.
x. Ciliary muscles surround the lens. These muscles hold the eye lens in place. When the muscles relax, they increase the focal length of the lens, allowing the eye to see the objects that are FAR away. To see closer objects clearly ciliary muscles must contract in order to decrease the focal length of the lens.
xi. For nonnal human eye, the minimum distance of distinct vision is about 25 cm.

Derivative expressions for the kinetic energy and potential energy of a simple harmonic oscillator.

Answer»

Solution :Expression for K.E of a SIMPLE harmonic oscillator: The displacement of the body in S.H.M., `X=Asinomegat`
where A = amplitude, `omegat=` Angular displacement.
Velocity at any instant, `y=dy/dx=Aomegacosomegat`
`therefore K.E=1/2mv^(2)=1/2mA^(2)omega^(2)cos^(2)omegat`
`therefore K.E=(1)/(2)mA^(2)omega^(2)(1-sin^(2)omegat)`
`=(1)/(2)mA^(2)omega^(2)[1-(x^(2))/(A^(2))]`
`=(1)/(2)MOMEGA^(2)[A^(2)-x^(2)]`
`therefore K.E =(1)/(2)momega^(2)[A^(2)-x^(2)]`
At mean position velocity is maximum and displacement `x=0`
`therefore K.E_(max)=(1)/(2)mA^(2)omega^(2)`
Expression for P.E of simple harmonic oscillator: Let a body of mass 'm' is in S.H.M with an amplitude A.

Let O is the mean position.
EQUATION of a body inS.H.M is given by `x=Asinomegat`
For body in S.H.M acceleration, `a=-omega^(2)Y`
Force, `F=ma=-momega^(2)x`
`therefore` Restoring force, `F=momega^(2)x`
Potential energy of the body at any point say 'x': Let the body is displaced through a small DISTANCE dx
Work done, `dW=F.dx=P.E.`
This work done.
`therefore P.E=momega^(2)x.dx`(where x is its displacement)
Total work done, `W=intdW=int_(0)^(x)momega^(2)x.dx`
`rArr` Work done, `W=(momega^(2)x^(2))/(2)`.
This work is stored as potential enerygy.
`therefore` P.E. at any point `=1/2momega^(2)x^(2)`
