State stokes'law .By using it deduce the expression for : (i) Initial acceleration of smooth sphere and (ii)Equation of terminal velocity of sphere falling freely through the viscousmedium. (iii) Explain : Upward motion of bubbles produced in fluid.

Answer»

Solution :Scientist Stokes. said that , viscous force `F_(V)` on small spherical solid body of radius r and moving with velocity v through a viscous medium of large dimensions having coefficient of viscosity `eta` is `6pietarv`.

As shown in FIGURE a small spherical body of radius r, density `rho` falling in viscous medium of density `sigma`.
Following forces acted on it .
(i) Weight `F_(1)=mg=("volume"XX"density")g`
`=((4)/(3)pir^(3)rho))g`...(1) (In downward)
Where m = mass of spehre
(ii) Buoyant force `F_(2)=m_(o)g`
`=((4)/(3)pir^(3)sigma)g=`(2) (in upward)
where `m_(0)` = mass of liquid having volume of sphere
(iii) According to stokes.law
`F_(v)=6pietarv` ...(3)
RESULTANT force acting on the sphere,
`F_(R)=F_(1)-F_(2)-F_((v))`
`F_(R)=((4)/(3)pir^(3)rho)g-((4)/(3)pir^(3)sigma))g-6pietarv`
`F_(R)=(4)/(3)pir^(3)g(rho-sigma)-6pietarv` ...(4)
(i)Equation of initial acceleration
If mass of sphere is m and initial acceleration `a_(0)` then
`F_(R)=ma_(0)=(4)/(3)pi^(3)rhoa_(0)`
From equation (4),
`((4)/(3)pir^(3)rho)a_(0)=(4)/(3)pir^(3)g(rho-sigma)-6pietarv`
Taking initial velocity of freely falling sphere v=0
`((4)/(3)pir^(3)rho)a_(0)=(4)/(3)pir^(3)g(rho-sigma)`
`thereforerho(a_(0))=g(rho-sigma)`
`thereforea_(0)=((rho-sigma)g)/(rho)` ...(5)
(ii)Terminal velocity :
As the time passes velocity of sphere will increase hence in equation (3), the force `6pietarv` wil increase and resultant force `F_(R)` decreases.
For any one velocity of spehere `F_(R)`becomes zero and hence according to NEWTON first law , spehre moves with constant velocity . This constant velocity is known as final or terminal velocity `v_(t)` of sphere.
In equation (4) `v=v_(t)andF_(R)=0`,
`therefore(6pietar)v_(t)=(4)/(3)pir^(3)g(rho-sigma)`
`thereforev_(t)=(2)/(9)(r^(2)g(rho-sigma))/(eta)` ...(6)
Hence terminal velocity of small sphere in viscous medium `v_(t)`
(i) Proportional to the square radius of sphere `v_(t)PROPR^(2)`
(ii) Proportional to the difference of densities of sphere and fluid.
`v_(t)prop(rho-sigma)`
(iii)Inversely proportional to the coefficients of viscosity of fluid `v_(t)prop(1)/(eta)`.
(iv)Upward motion of bubbles produced in fluid :
The denisty `(rho)` of air bubble produced in the fluid is less then the density of fluid `(sigma)` .Hence `(rholtsigma)`, so terminal velocity is negative and hence bubble would travel in upward direction.

A perfect gas goes from state A to state B by absorbing 8xx10^(5)J of heat and doing 6.5xx10^(5)J of external work. It is now transferred between the same two states in another process in which it absorbs 10^(5)J of heat. In second process. Find the work done in the second process.

Answer»

SOLUTION :According to the FIRST LAW of thermodynamics
`DeltaU=DeltaQ-DeltaW`
In the first process `DeltaU=8xx10^(5)-6.5xx10^(5)=1.5xx10^(5)J`
Now `DeltaU`, being a state function, remains the same in the second process,
`DeltaW=DeltaQ-DeltaU=1 xx10^(5)-1.5xx10^(5)`
`DeltaW=-0.5xx10^(5)J`
The negative sign shows that work is doen on the GAS.

Consider two cylinders with same radius and same mass. Let one of the cylinders be solid and another one be hollow. When subjected to some torque, which one among them gets more angular acceleration than the other?

Answer»

Solution :Moment of inertia of a solid cylinder about its axis `I_(s)=(1)/(2)MR^(2)`
Moment of inertia of a hollow cylinder about its axis `I_(K)=MR^(2)`
`I_(s)=(1)/(2)I_(h) or I_(h)=2I_(s)`
torque `TAU =I alpha=(tau)/(1)`
`alpha_(s)=(tau)/(I_(s)) and a_(h)=(tau)/(I_(b))`
SINCE `I_(h) gt I_(s) rArr (I_(h))/(I_(s)) gt I`
`:. alpha_(s) gt alpha_(h)`
For the same torque, a solid cylinder gets more ACCELERATION than a hollow cylinder.

A carnot.engine whose sink is at 300 K has an efficiency of 40 %. By how much should the temperature of source be increased so as to increase its efficiency by 50% of original efficiency ?

Answer»


Solution :EFFICIENCY of a carnot engine,
`eta=(T_1-T_2)/T_1` , where `T_1`=TEMPERATUREOF the SOURCE
`T_2`=temperature of the sink
`THEREFORE 0.40=(T_1-300)/T_1`
`therefore T_1-300=0.40T_1`
`therefore 0.6T_1=300 rArr T_1=300/0.6=3000/6`=500 K
Now, 50% efficiency increases ,
`therefore 0.60=(T_1-300)/T_1 rArr T_1-300=0.6T_1`
`therefore 0.4T_1=300 rArr T_1 =300/0.4=(300xx10)/4` =750
Increase in temperature of source =750-500=250 K

`DeltaW=int_(V_(1))^(V_(2))pdv=A int_(V_(1))^(V_(2))(dV)/sqrtV=A[(sqrtV)/(1//2)]_(V_(1))^(V_(2))=2A(sqrtV_(2)-sqrtV_(1))=2P_(1)V_(1)^(1//2)[V_(2)^(1//2)-V_(1)^(1//2)]`
b) SINCE `T =pV//nR=A/(nR).sqrtV`
Thus `T_(2)/T_(1)=sqrt(V_(2)/V_(1))=sqrt2`
c) Then, the change in internal energy
`DeltaU=U_(2)-U_(1)=3/2R(T_(2)_T_(1))=3/2RT_(1)(sqrt2-1)`

A rocket is moving at a speed of 200 m s^(-1) towards a stationary target. While moving, it emits a wave of frequency 1000 Hz. Some of the sound reaching the target gets reflected back to the rocket as an echo. Calculate (1) the frequency of the sound as detected by the target and (2) the frequency of the echo as detected by the rocket.

Answer»

Solution :(1) The observer is at rest and the source is moving with a speed of `200 m s^(-1)`. SINCE this is COMPARABLE with the VELOCITY of sound, `300 m s^(-1)`, we must use Eq. (15.50) and not the approximate Eq. (15.51). Since the source is approaching a stationary target, `v_(o) = 0`, and `v_(s)` must be replaced by `- v_(s)`. thus , we have
`v = v_(o) (1 - (v_(s))/(v))^(-1)`
`v = 1000 Hz xx [1 - 200 m s^(-1)//330 m s^(-1)]^(-1)`
`~= 2540 Hz`
(2) The target is now the source (because it is the source of echo) and the rocket.s DETECTOR id now the detector or observer (because it detects echo). thus , `v_(s) = 0` and `v_(o)` has a positive value. The drequency of the sound emitted by the source (the target) is v. Therefore , the frequency as registered by the rocket is
`v. = v ((v + v_(o))/(v))`
`= 2540 Hz xx ((200 m s^(-1) + 330 m s^(-1))/(330 m s^(-1)))`
`~= 4080 Hz`

So, `(ML^2)/(3) ALPHA = K ((5L^2)/(4)) theta`
`alpha = - ((15L^2)/(4mL^2)K)theta , alpha =- ((15K)/(4m)) theta`
frequency `=1/(2PI) sqrt((alpha)/(theta)) = 1/(2pi) sqrt((15K)/(4m))`

Explain characteristics of streamlines.

Answer»

Solution :Characteristics of streamlines :
(i) In a steady flow streamline can never intersect each other .
(ii)The tangent drawn at point on the streamline INDICATES the direction of velocity of fluid particle at that point.
(iii) The velocity of each fluid particles passing at a point on streamline is same but it is different at different point.
(iv)Widely SPACED streamlinesindicates REGION of low speed and CLOSELY streamlines indicates region of high speed .

When 1 g of water 100^(@) C is converted into steam at100^(@)C,. It occupies a volumn of 1671 cc at normal atmospheric pressure . Find the increase in internal energy of the molecules of steam.

Answer»

Solution :`1" atmosphere" = 1.013xx10^(5) Nm^(-2)` ,
volume of 1 gm of water, `V_(1) = 1cc = 10^(-6)m^(3)`,
volume of steams = `1671 cc =1671xx10^(-6) m^(3)`
External WORK done dW = `P(V_(2)-V_(1)) = 1.013xx10^(5)(1671xx10^(-6) -1xx10^(-6))=1.013xx167=169.2 J`.
Specific latent heat of vaporisation of steam=540cal/g. So, heat supplied to CONVERT 1g of water into steam.
`Delta Q = 540xx4.2J=2268J`
By first LAW of THERMODYNAMICS
`Delta U = Delta Q-Delta W = 2268-169.2=2098.8J`
