A solid sphere of radius 5 cm floats in water. If a maximum load of 0. kg can be put on it withot wetting the load find the specific gravityof the material of the sphere.

Answer» Given, r=5cm, m=1 kg
Here, `w_1+W_2=U`
`rarr mg+Vxxrho_sxxg=vxxrho_wxxg`
`[wehre rho_s=density of sphere in gm/cc]`
`rarr(0.1)xx10^3+(4/3)xxpixx(5)^3xxrho_s`
=(4/3)xxpixx(5)^3xx1`
`rarr 100=(4/3)xxpixx125(1-rho_s)`
`rarr 1-rho_s=(3xx1000/(4xxpixx125)=0.19` ltbr.gt `rarr rho_s=1-(0.19)`
=0.81gm/cc=0.8gm/cc`
So, specific gravity of the material is 0.8.

Find the ratio of the weights as measured by a spring balance, of a 1 kg block of iron nd a 1kg block of wood. Density of iron `=7800 kg m^-3` density of wood `=800 kg m^-3 and density of air =1.293 kgm^-3`.

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Net weight of iron block
`w_1=mg-V_(1rho_(air))xxg`
`[m-(m/rho_1)rho_(air)]g`
`=[1-(1/7800)xx1.293]xx(9.8)`
Again net weight of wood
`=W_w=mg-V_w.rho_(air)g`
`=[m-(m/rho_w)rho_(air)]g`
`rarr (1-1/800xx1.293)9.8`
`rarr :. W_1/W_2=9.8((7800-1.293)/7800)/(9.8(800-1.293)/800)`
`=(7800-1.293)/(800-1.293)x8/78=1.0015`

Answer» Correct Answer - B::C
Let xrarr edge of ice block.
when it just leaves contact with the bottom of the glass,
hrarr Height of water method from ice.
here W=U
`rarr (x)^3xxrho_(ice)xxg=(x)^2xxhxxrho_wxxg`
`rarr h=(0.9)x`
Again volume of water formed from melting of ice is given by
`(4)^3-(x)^3=pixx(r)^2xxh-x^I2h`
[because amont of water `=rho(r_2-x_2)hrarr (4)^3-(x)^3=pixx(3)^2xxh-x^2h]`
utting `h=0.9x`
rarr (4)^3-(x)^3pixx(3)^2xx(0.9)x`
solving the above equation we can get
`x=2.26cm`

A ball of relative density 0.8 falls into water from a height of 2 m. The depth to which the ball will sink is (neglect viscous forces)A. 8 mB. 2 mC. 6 mD. 16 m

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Velocity of ball just before striking water surface, `v=sqrt(2gh)`
or `v=sqrt(4g) m s^(-1) " " (h=2m)`
or `a=(V rho_(w)g-Vrho g)/(V rho)=((1-0.8)/(0.8))g=g//4`

Answer» The velocity of ball before entering the water surface `v=sqrt(2gh)=sqrt(2gxx9)`
When ball enters into water, due to upthrust of water, the velocity of ball decreases (of retarded)
The retardaion,
`a=("apparent weight")/("mass of ball")`
`(V(rho-sigma)g)/(Vrho)=((rho-sigma)g)/(rho)`
`=((0.4)-1)/(0.4)g=-(3)/(2)g`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
(b) Mass of water in the beaker = 250 xx1 = 250 g Mass of beaker + Mass of water in it = mass of the volume fo water displaced = 400 + 250 = 650g So volume of water displaced ` =650 cm^3` As the inner volume ` =500 cm^3` So volume of the meterial of beaker ` =650 - 500 = 150 cm^3`
`:. Density = (400)/(150) = 2.67 g//cm^3`

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B::C
(a) Relative density of metal
`=("weight in air" )/("change in weight in water" )=(10/2)=5`
`:.` Density of metal`=5rho_(w)=5000kg//m^(3)`
Now, volume `=("mass")/("density")`

A cylinder is fitted with a piston, beneath which is a spring, as in the figure. The cylinder is open at the top. Friction is absent. The spring is `3600 N//m`. The piston has a negligible mass and a radius of 0.025m (a) when air beneath the piston is conpletely pumped out, how much does the atmospheric pressure cause the spring to compress? (b) How much work does the atmospheric pressure do in compressing the spring?

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B::C::D
(a) `p_(0)A=kx`
`:. x=(p_(0)A)/(k) ((p_(0))(pir^(2)))/(k)`
`=((1.0xx10^(5))(pi)(0.025)^(2))/(3600)`
`=0.055m=5.5 cm`.
(b) Work done by atmospheric pressure
`W=(1)/(2)kx^(2)=(1)/(2) (3600)(0.055)^(2)`
`=5.445 J`

Assume that a drop of liquid evaporates by decreases in its surface energy, so that its temperature remains unchanged. What should be the minimum radius of the drop for this to be possible? The surface tension is T, density of liquid is `rho` and L is its latent heat of vaporization.

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Decreses in surface energy=heat required in vaporization.
`:. T(dS)=L(dm)`
`:. T(2)(4 pi r)dr=L(4 pi r^(2)dr)rho`
`:. r=(2T)/(rho L)`
The correct option is (d).

A capillary tube whose inside radius is `0.5mm` is dipped in water having surface tension `7.0xx10^(-2) N//m`. To what height is the water raised above the normal water level? Angle of contact of water with glass is `0^(@)`. Density of water is `10^(3)kg//m^(3) and g=9.8 m//s^(2)`.

Answer» Correct Answer - B::C
`h=(2T costheta)/(r rho g)`
Substituting the proper values, we have
`h =((2)(7.0xx10^(-2))cos 0^(@))/((0.5 xx 10^(-3)) (10^(-3)) (9.8))`
`=2.86xx10^(-2)m=2.86cm`.

A film of water is formed between two straight parallel wires each `10 cm` long and at a seperation of `0.5 cm`. Calculate the work required to increase `1mm` distance between the wires. Surface tension of water `=72xx10^(-3)N//m`.

Answer» Correct Answer - A::D
`W=T(Delta A )`
`=T(2ld)`
`=(72xx10^(3))(2)(0.1)(10^(-3))`
`=14.4xx10^(-6)J`.

Calculate the energy released when 1000 small water drops each of same radius `10^(-7)m` coalesce to form one large drop. The surface tension of water is `7.0xx10^(-2)N//m`.

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B
Let r be the radius drops and `R` of bigger one. Equanting the initial and final volume, we have
`(4)/(3) piR^(3)=(1000)((4)/(3) pi r^(3))`
or, `R=10r=(10)(10^(-7))m`
or, `R=10^(-6)m`
Further, the water drops have only one free surface. Therefore,
`Delta A=4pi R^(2)-(1000)(4 pi r^(2))`
`=4pi [(10^(-6))^(2)-(10^(3))(10^(-7))^(2)]`
`=-36pi (10^(-12))m^(2)`
Here, negative sign implies that surface area is decreasing. Hence, energy released in the process. `U=T|Delta A|=(7xx10^(-2))(36 pi xx10^(-12))J`
`=7.9xx10^(-12) J`.

What is ratio of surface energy of 1 small drop and 1 large drop, if 1000 small drops combined to form 1 large dropA. `1 : 100`B. `1 : 1000`C. `1 : 10`D. `0.1 : 1`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Let, R =radius of bigger drop
and r=radius of smaller drop
Then, `4/3 piR^(3)=1000 xx 4/3 rArr r^(3) rArr E_(1)/E_(2)=1/100`

Two small drops of mercury each of radius r form a single large drop. The ratio of surface energy before and after this change isA. `2 : 2^(2//3)`B. `2^(2//3) : 1`C. `2 : 1`D. `1 :2`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Suppose R be the radius of bigger drop, Then by equating volumes, we have
`2(4//3pir^(3))=(4//3)piR^(3)" or "R=(2)^(1//3)r`
Now, surface energy `prop` surface area
`therefore" "U_(1)/U_(2)=A_(1)/A_(2)=(2r^(2))/R^(2)=2/2^(2//3)`
