Explain why a clinical thermometer is exclusively used to measure the human body temperature and a laboratory thermometer is used to measure the temperatures of different substances but not to measure the human body temperature .

Answer»

Solution :The clinical thermometer is designed to measure the temperature of the human body only .The temperature of human body normally does not go below `35^(@)C and above 42^(@)C` .It means that the range is from `35^(@)C` to `42^(@)C`so it is not USED for measuring the temperature of any OBJECT other than human body
laboratory thermomter is generally form `-10^(@)C` to `110^(@)C` and VALUE of each small division is `1^(@)C` Thus small VARIATION in body temperature cannot be measured accurately by using a laboratory thermometer .So we cannot use this thermometer to find out the temperature of the human body. Also in clinical thermometer there is kink which can hold the temperature for long so that one can take out from mouth and see the temperature.

Two beaker A and B contain water at different temperatures .When 1 liter of water from beaker A is mixed with 2 litre of water from beaker B the equilibrium temperature is 16^(@)C and when 2 litre of water from beaker A then the equilibrium temperature is 14^(@)C .Determine the tempreature of water in the beaker A and B

Answer»

SOLUTION :Heat lost =Heat gained
When 1 litre of water fromA is mixed with2 litres of water FORM B then the EQUILIBRIUM temperature attained is `16^(@)C`
`Q=mstraiangelt` Let `t_(A)=2xxsxx(t_(B)-16)`
`(16-t_(A))=2(t_(B)-16)`
`2t_(B)+t_(A)=18-(1)`
When 2 litres of water from A is mixed with 2 liters of water from B then the equilibrium temperture of the mixtrue is `41^(@)C`
`2xxSxx(14-t_(A))=2xxSxx(t_(B)-14)`
`(14-t_(A))=(t_(B)-14)`
`t_(B)+t_(A)=28-(2)`
`2t_(B)+2t_(A)=56-(3)`
`(3)-(1)rarrt_(A)=8^(@)C`
`(t_(B))+(T_(A))=28`
`t_(B)=28-t_(A)=28-8-20^(@)C`

When the physis teacher has given a task to determine the focal length of a concave mirror a clever boy inthe class focussed the mirror to a distant object. He moved the screen in fornt of the mirror and caught a real image on a screen at a distance of 20 cm from the mirror and he determined the focal length. Where should the object be place so that the object and the image are formed at the same position?

Answer»

SOLUTION :The light rays coming from an OBJECT at INFINITY after reflection focus at the principal focus.
Hence, FOCAL length f=20cm
The image is FORMED at the same position as that of the object, when the object is placed at the centre of curvature.
`:.` Radius of curvature `=2f=2xx20=40m`

The velocity of sound in air, in water and in a given solid is, 330 ms^(-1), 1350 ms^(-1) and 1500 ms^(-1), respectively. If a vibrating tuning fork of frequency 150 Hz is placed in each of these media, then find the distance covered by the sound in air, water and solid, respectively, at the end of 50 vibrations.

Answer»

Solution :Speed of sound in air `= 330 ms^(-1)`.
Speed of sound in water `= 1350 ms^(-1)`.
Speed of sound in solid `1500 ms^(-1)`.
Frequency of TURNING fork, (n) = 150 Hz.
i.e., it performs 150 vibrations in 1 second.
`therefore` The TIME taken by the tuning fork to COMPLETE 50 vibrations `= 1/3 s`.
The distance travelled by sound in THREE media in 1 second is 330 m, 1350 m, 1500 m.
`therefore` The distance covered by sound in the three given media in 1/3 s is
`330 xx 1/3 = 110 m` in air.
`1350 xx 1/3 = 450 m` in water.
`1500 xx 1/3 = 500 m` in solid.

Solve the following example : A body of volume 100 cm^3 is immersed completely in water. Find the weight of the water displaced by the body. [g = 9.8 m//s^2, rho(water) = 10^3 kg//m^3]

Answer»

Solution :Mass of the metallic rod = 100 g
Volume of the metallic rod + volume of wooden block = 400 ml
Density of the metallic rod = 5 g `cm^(-3)`
Volume of the metallic rod
=` MASSOF the metallic rod/density of the rod`=`8/1=n^(3)/1,n^(3)=8, n=2` Volume of wooden the block = `400-20 = 380 cm^(3)`
Mass FO the wooden block =`"mass"/"volume"=300/380=0.79" g "cm^(-3)`
