Three metallic spheres A,B and C have their masses in the ratio 1:2:3, specific heat capacities in the ratio 6:3:4. When the initial temperature of the spheres are measrued in Celsius scale, the ratio of their temperature is found to be 1:2:3. Initially the two spheres A and B are brought into contact. when equilibrium temperature is attained, sphere B is brought into contact with 'C'. Determine the ratio of the final temperatures of A,B and C as measured in Celsius scale.

Answer»

Solution :Let the masses of A,B and C be m, 2m and 3M the specific heat capacities be 6s, 3s and 4s ad the initial temperatures be t,2t, and 3t
SINCE the temperature of A is less than the temperature of B,heat flows from B to A when these two are brough into contact.
If `theta_(1)` is the equilibrium temperature, `t lt theta_(1) lt 2t`
heat lsot be hot body=heat gained by cold body ltBrgt `therefore(2m)(3s)(2t-theta_(1))=(m)(6s)(theta_(1)-t)`
`6(2t-theta_(1))=6(theta_(1)-t)`
`2theta_(1)=3t`
`theta_(1)=(3t)/(2)`
(You MAY observe here that since `m_(1)s_(1)=m_(2)s_(2),Deltat_(1)=t_(2) and theta_(1)` is the average of t ad 2t).
Thus, `t_(A)=t_(B)=(3t)/(2)`
WhenB and C are brough into contact the equilibrium temperature `theta_(2)` will be greater than that of B
`=(3t)/(2)` and less than that of `C(=3t)`
Once again heat lost by hot body (C)=heat gained by cold body (B).
I.E., `(3m)(4s)(3t-theta_(2))=(2m)(3s)(theta_(2)-(3t)/(2))`
`2(3t-theta_(2))=(theta_(2)-(3t)/(2))`
`3theta_(2)=6T+(3t)/(2)`
`theta_(2)=(5t)/(2)`
i.e., `t_(B)=t_(C)=(5t)/(2)`
`thereforet_(A):t_(B):t_(C)=(3t)/(2):(5t)/(2):(5t)/(2)=3:5:5`

A horse is tied to a rope of length 5 cm and the other end of the rope is tied to a pole. Find the displacement and the distance travelled by the horse in the following cases (i) When the horse makes half revolution along a circular path. (ii) When it makes one full revolution (iii) When it makes (3)/(4) th of the revolution.

Answer»

Solution : (i)Half revolution along the circular path.
Distance travelled by the horce `=(2pir)/(2)=pir=pixx55pim`
Displacment of the horse = DIAMETER of the circular path, `bar(H_(1)H_(2))` = 10m from `H_(1)"to" H_(2)`

(II) When the horse MAKES full revolution
Distance traveleld by the horse = circumference of the circular path
`=2pir=2pixx5=10m`
Displacement of the horse= zero (Sicne INITIAL and FINAL position of the horse conincide)

(III) When the horse makes `(3)/(4)` th of the revolution

Distane travelled by the horse `=(3)/(4)` th of the circumference of the circle = `(3)/(4)(2pir)`
`(3)/(2)xxpixx5=(15)/(2)pi=7.5pi m`
Displacment of the horse `= bar (H_(1) H_(2))`
`|bar(H_(1)H_(2))|` = shortest distance between `H_(1) and H_(2)`
`=sqrt(5^(2)+5^(2))= sqrt(25+25)=sqrt(50)`
`=5sqrt(2)mH_(1) "to"H_(2)`

A king ordered a goldsmith to prepare a crown wth 1 kg pure gold. The relative density of pure gold is given as 19. Is it possible to find the adulteration if the goldsmtih adds some impurity inmaking the crown. If so how? Explain.

Answer»

SOLUTION :The mass of the crown can be measured by using a BALANCE that can measure the mass more accurately. The volume of the crown can be found by immmersing it in an overflow jar and measuring the volume of water over flown. Once the mass of the crown and its volume are known, its DENSITY of the crown is 19 g cm^(-3) (Since relative density of gold is given as 19) , the crown is made of pure gold. OTHERWISE it can be concluded that the crown is made adulterated gold.
