A piston of cross sectional area 10^-2 m^2 is used in a hydraulic press to exert a force of 100 N on water . What is the cross sectional area of the other piston which supports to carry a mass 2000kg?g = 9.8m/s^2 |
| Answer» Solution :From the principle of multiplication FORCES `(F_1)/(A_1) = (F_2)/(A_2)` in USUAL symbols `therefore A_2 = F_2 (A_1)/(F_1) = (2000 xx 9.8) xx (10^-2)/(100) = 1.98 m^2` | |

In the adjacent figure ABC is a uniform isosceles triangular lamina of mass m and AB=AC=l the lamina is free to rotate about a fixed horizontal axis OAO^(') which is in the plane of the lamina. Initially the lamina is in static equilibrium with maximum gravitational potential energy. due to slight disturbance, lamina starts rotating. Now choose the correct option(s) |
|
Answer» The maximum angular SPEED acquried by lamina is `4sqrt((SQRT(2)g)/(3l))` `(2sqrt(2)mgl)/(3)=(1)/(2).(ml^(2)omega^(2))/(4)` (moment of inertial about `OAO^(')=(ml^(2))/(4))` `impliesomega=sqrt((16sqrt(2))/(3).(g)/(l))=4sqrt((sqrt(2)g)/(3l))` `becauseF-mg=momega^(2)R=mxx(16sqrt(2)g)/(3l).(sqrt(2)l)/(3)` `impliesF=mg+(32MG)/(9)=(41mg)/(9)` |

There is a hole in the middle of a small thin circular converging lens of focal length f=4 cm. The diameter of the hole is half the aperture diameter of lens. There is a point like light source A=9 cm from a wall. Where should the lens be placed from object (in cm) in order to het a single. circular illuminated spot on the wall which also has a sharp edge? |
Answer» The distance between the lens and the image of the light-source is `i=(Of)/(O-f)` From the dimilar traingles : `(h)/(r)=(A)/(O)` and `(h)/(R)=(h)/(2r)=(O+i-A)/(i)=(O+(Of)/(O-f)-A)/((Of)/(O-f))` from the first equation `(h)/(r)` can be substituted and the followingquadratic equation can be gained for O: `2O^(2)-2AO+af=0` Its solution are: `O =(A)/(2)pm (1)/(2) sqrt(A(A-2f))` ltb rgt In our case the following two solution are gained for the possible of the light-gained: `O_(1)=6cm` and `O_(2)=3cm`. In the first case, the lens must be PLACED `6cm` from the light source. The second solution is also a CORRECT solution, though in this case the image is virtual `("A trivial solution is the" O=0)` The problem can only be solved if A gt 2f. |

Derive an expression Jor the time period (T) of a simple pendulum which may depend upon the mass (m) ofthe bob, length (l) of the pendulumand acceleration due to gravity (g) . |
|
Answer» Solution :Let T = `km^(3) l^(@) G^(c )` where k is a DIMENSIONLESS constant. Writing the equation in dimensional form, we have `[M^(@)L^(@)T^(1)]= [M]^(a)[L]^(b)[LT^(-2)]^(c )=[M^(a)L^(b+c)T^(-2c)]` Equating exponents of M, L and T on both SIDES, we GET a=0 , b+c=0 , -2c =1. Solving the eq., we get a = 0 , b=1/2 c= -1/2 Hence , T=k`SQRT((l)/(g))`, where k is constant. |

A negative pion with negative energy T= 50MeV disintergrated during its flight into a moun and a neutrino. Find the energy of the neutrino outgoing at right angles to the pion's motion derection. |
Answer» Solution : See the DIAGRAM. By CONSERVATION of ENERGY `sqrt(m_(pi)^(2)c^(4)+c^(2)p_(pi)^(2))=cp_(V)+sqrt(m_(mu)^(2)+p_(pi)^(2)c^(2)+c^(2)P_(v)^(2))` or `(sqrt(m_(pi)^(2)c^(4)+c^(2)p_(pi)^(2))-cp_(v))^(2)=m mu^(2)c^(4)+c^(2)p_(pi)^(2)+c^(2)P_(v)^(2)` or `m_(pi)^(2)c^(4)-2cp_(v)sqrt(m_(pi)^(2)c^(4)+c^(2)p_(pi)^(2))=m_(mu)^(2)c^(4)` Hence the energy of the neutrino is `E_(v)=cPv=(m_(pi)^(2)c^(4)-m_(mu)^(2)c^(4))/(2(m_(pi)c^(2)+T))` on writing `sqrt(m_(pi)^(2)c^(4)+c^(2)p_(pi)^(2))=m_(pi)c^(2)T` Substitution gives `E_(v)= 21.93MeV` |

Consider a ray of light incident from air onto a slab of glass (refractive index n) of width d, at an angle theta. The phase difference between the ray reflected by the top surface of the glass and the bottom surface is |
|
Answer» `(2pind)/(lamda)(1-(sin^(2)theta)/(n^(2)))^(-1//2)+pi` Situation given in the statement is depicted in above figure. Suppose light ray `vecPQ` is made incident at point Q on surface t=0. Here refracted ray `vecQS` gets reflected from point S after sometime, say after time t. Now, if SPEED of light in glass is v then, `v=(QS)/(t)` `:.t=(QS)/(v)` `:.t=(((d)/(cosr)))/((c)/(n))""(":.cosr=(d)/(QS)andn=(c)/(v))` `:.t=(nd)/(cxxcosr)""....(1)` Now, APPLYING Snell.s law at point Q, `sintheta=(n)sinr` `:.n=(sintheta)/(sinr)` `:.sinr=(sintheta)/(n)` `:.sin^(2)r=(sin^(2)theta)/(n^(2))` `:.1-cos^(2)r=(sin^(2)theta)/(n^(2))` `:.cosr=(1-(sin^(2)theta)/(n^(2)))^(1/2)""....(2)` From equation (1) and (2), `t=(nd)/(cxx(1-(sin^(2)theta)/(n^(2)))^(1/2))` `:.t=(nd)/(c)xx(1-(sin^(2)theta)/(n^(2)))^(-1/(2))""......(3)` Now, at the end of time t, if phase of ray `vecST` is `phi_(1)` and phase of ray `vecQR` is `phi_(2)` then phase difference between them is `Deltaphi=phi_(2)-phi_(1)=omegat` `:.Deltaphi=(kc)t""("":.c=(omega)/(k)=("angular frequency")/("wave vector"))` But since ray `vecQR` gets reflected from the surface of denser MEDIUM, net path difference would be `Deltaphi.=Deltaphi+pi` `:.Deltaphi.=(kc)t+pi` `:.Deltaphi.=((2pi)/(lamda)c)((nd)/(c))(1-(sin^(2)theta)/(n^(2)))^(-1/2)+pi` ( `:.k=(2pi)/(lamda)` and from equation (3)) `:.Deltaphi.=(2pind)/(lamda)(1-(sin^(2)theta)/(n^(2)))^(-1/2)+pi` |

A voltage V= V_(m) sin omegatis applied to a series L-C-R circuit. Derive the expression for the average power dissipated over a cycle. Under what condition (i) no power is dissipated even though the current flows through the circuit, (ii) maximum power is dissipated in the circuit ? |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :Let, in general APPLIED voltage and current flowing in a LCR series a.c. circuit be given by `V = V_(m) sin omega t` and `I = I_(m) sin (omega t-phi)` `therefore` INSTANTANEOUS power `P = VI = V_(m) sin omegat. I_(m) sin (omega t-phi)` `=V_(m)I_(m)[sin^(2)omegat cos phi - 1/2 sin 2 omegat sin phi]` `therefore` Average power for one complete cycle of a.c. `VECP = V_(m)I_(m) [vec(sin^(2)omega) cos phi -1/2 vec(sin2 omegat) sin phi]` But we know that average VALUE of `sin^(2)omegat`for a complete cycle is `1/2`, whereas average value of `sin 2omega t` for one complete cycle is zero. Hence, `vecP` or `P_(av) = V_(m)I_(m) [1/2 cos phi] = 1/2 V_(m) I_(m) cos phi = V_(rms) I_(rms) cos phi` (i) If phase difference `phi` between V and I be `pi/2`or a pure inductor or a pure capacitor or a series LC circuit) then `cos phi = cos pi/2 =0`and hence average power dissipated is zero even though the current flows through the circuit. (ii) If phase difference `phi = 0^(@)`(as for a pure resistor or for a resonant circuit) then `cos phi = cos 0^(@)=1`and hence average power `P_(av) = V_(rms) I_(rms)`which is maximum power dissipated in the circuit. |

Answer» Solution :In the situation shown in Fig. 6.27, in accordance with Lenz.s LAW, when seen from left hand side the induced current appears to be FLOWING anticlockwise in the CIRCULAR LOOP and when seen from right hand side, the induced current appears to be flowing clockwise. Thus, it is clear that plate A of capacitor will be at a higher potential than the plate B. In other words, the polarity of plate A will be positive with RESPECT to plate B in the capacitor.
