Density of ice is `900 kg//m^(3)`. A piece of ice is floating in water of density `1000kg//m^(3)`. Find the fraction of volume of the picec of ice outside the water.

Answer» Let V be the total volume and `V_(1)` the volume of ice piece immersed in water. For equilibrium of ice piece,
weight =upthrust
`therefore " " V rhoig=V_(i) rho_(w)g`
Here, `rho_(i)`=density of water`=900 kgm^(-3)`
and `rho_(w)`=density of water `=1000kgm^(-3)`
Substituting in Eq. (i), we get
`(V_(i))/(V)=(rho_(i))/(rho_(w))=(900)/(1000)=0.9`
i.e., the fraction of volume outside the water, f=1-0.9=0.1

When a jet of liquid strikes a fixed or moving surface, it exerts thrust on it due to rate of change of momentum. `F=(rhoAV_(0))V_(0)-(rhoAV_(0))V_(0)costheta=rhoAV_(0)^(2)[1-costheta]` If surface is free and starts moving due to thrust of the liquid, then at any instant, the above equation gets modified based on relative change of momentum with respect to surface. Let, at any instant, the velocity of surface be `u`. Then the above equation becomes ` F=rhoA(V_(0)-u)^(2)[1-costheta]` Based on the above concept, as shown in the following figure, if the cart is frictionless and free to move in the horizontal direction, then answer the following. Given that cross sectional area of jet `=2xx10^(-4)m^(2)` velocity of jet `V_(0)=10m//s` density of liquid `=1000kg//m^(3)` ,mass of cart `M=10 kg`. Velocity of cart at `t = 10 s` is equal toA. `4m//s`B. `6m//s`C. `8m//s`D. `5m//s`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`F=2rhoA(V_(0)-u)^(2)`
`u=` speed of the cart
`m(du)/(dt)=2rhoA(V_(0)-u)^(2)`
`int_(0)^(u)(du)/((V_(0)-u)^(2))=(2rhoA)/mint_(0)^(1)dt`
`[1/(V_(0)-u)]_(0)^(u)=(2rhoAt)/m`
`1/(V_(0)-u)=-1/(V_(0))=(2rhoAt)/m=(4t)/100` ...........i
`((2rhoA)/m=(2xx10^(3)xx2xx10^(-4))/10=4/100)`
At `t=10s`
`1/(V_(0)-h) =4/10+1/10=1/2`
`impliesV_(0)-u=2`
`u=8m/s`

Statement I: A liquid will flow faster and more smoothly from a sealed can when two holes are punched in the can than when one hole is punched. Statement II: The flow becomes streamlined with two holes rather than with one hole.A. Statement I is true, statement II is true and Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I.B. Statement I is true, Statement II is true and Statement II is NOT the correct explanation for Statement I.C. Statement I is true, Statement II is false.D. Statement I is false, Statement II is true.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
When two holes are made, the velocity of flow through each holes is much less tan the velocity of flow when there is only one hole. Hence, the flow becomes streamline with two holes.
This is the reason why a liquid flows more smoothly and faster with two holes.

A beaker containing water is placed on the pan of a balance which shows a reading of `M`. A lump of sugar of mass `m` ad volume `v` is now suspend by a thread (from an independent support) in such a way that it is completely immersed in water without touching the beaker and without any overflow of water. How will the reading change as time passes on?

Answer» Initially, the balance will show the weight of `M` plus thrust.
But we know that
Thrust `-= vsigmag=m/(rho)xx1xxg` [as `v=m/(rho)` and `sigma=1`]
`:.W_(1)=(M=m/(rho))g=(M+m/(2rho)+m/(2rho))g`…………i
Now as the sugar dissolves, the thrust and hence the reading of the balance should decrease. However, as dissolved sugar comes is solution, the reading of the balance should increase. To find which half the sugar has dissolved. In this situation the thrust reduces by `(m//2rho)` from `(mg//rho)` while weight of the solution increases by `(m//2)g` (due to sugar dissolved). So reading of the balance will become
`W_(2)=(M+m/(2rho)+m/(rho))g`..........ii
Finally, when all the sugar is dissolved, thrust will become zero and weighht of the solution will increase by `mg`. So the reading will become.
`W_(3)=(M+m)g=(M+m/2+m/2)g`..........iii
Nos as `rhogt1,m//2gtm//2rho`. So comparing eqs. i, ii and iii, we find that the reading of the balancing will gradually increase till all the sugar dissolves in water and finally will become constant equal to `(M+m)g`.

Two soap bubbles coalesce to form a single large drop. Match the following. `|{:(,"Table-1",,"Table-2"),((A),"Surface energy in the",(P),"increase"),(,"process will",,),((B),"Temperature of the",(Q),"decrease"),(,"drop will",,),((C),"Pressure inside the",(R),"remain same"),(,"soap bubble will",,):}|`

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B::C
When two soap bubbles coalesce to form a larger drop, radius increases. Hence, the excess pressure `4T//R` will decrease. Further, surface are will decrease. Hence, the surface energy will decrease or the temperature will increases.

A hollow cylinder of mass `m` made heavy at its bottom is floating vertically in water. It is tilteed from its vertical position through an angle `theta` and is left. The respecting force acting on it isA. `mg cos theta`B. `(mg)/(cos theta)`C. `mg[(1)/(cos theta)-1]`D. `mg[(1)/(cos theta)+1]`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Let `l` be the length of the cylinder, when verticlal in water. Let `A` be the cross-sectional area of the cylinder. Equanting weight of the cylinder with the upthrust, we get
`Mg = A l rho g or m=Alrho`
When the cylinder is titled through an angle `theta`, length of cylinder in water =`l=(cos theta)`
weight of water displaced = `(l)/(cos theta) A rho g`
Restoring force = (lA rho g)/(cos theta) -lArhog`
`=lArhog [(1)/(costheta)-1]=mg[(1)/(costheta)-1]`.

Therefore, if the density of water is taken as 1, Then uptrust
=weight of the water displaced
`=1.54xx1xx981509.2 dynes`
Now, the total length of the plate in contact with the water surface is `2(10+0.2)=20.4 cm`
`:.` Downward pull upon the plate due to surface tension
`=20.4xx73=1489.2 dynes`
`:.` Resultant upthrust
`=1509.2-1489.2`
`=20.0 dynes=(20)/(980)`
`=0.0204 gm-wt`
`:.` Apparent weight of the plate in water
=weight of the plate in air-resultant uothrust
`=8.2-0.0204=8.1796 gm`.

A solid sphere a cone and a cylinder are floating in water. All have same mass, density and radius. Let `f_(1)f_(2)`,and `f_(3)` are the fraction of their volumes inside the water and `h_(1),h_(2)` and `h_(3)` are depths inside water. Then A. `f_(1)=f_(2)=f_(3)`B. `f_(3)gtf_(2)gtf_(1)`C. `h_(3) lth_(1)`D. `h_(3)lth_(2)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A::C::D
Fraction of volume immersed in given by
`f=(rho_s)/(rho_l)`
`rho_(s)` and `rho_(l)` are same, Hence:
`f_(1)=f_(2)=f_(3)`
Base area in third case is uniform. Hence `h_(3)` is minimum.

A small sphere of mass m is dropped from a height After it has fallen 100 m it has attained its terminal velocity and continues to fall at that speed. The work done by air friction against the sphere during the first 100 m of fall is-A. Greater than the work done by air friction in the second 100 mB. Less than the work done by air friction in the second 100 mC. Equal to 100 mgD. Greater than 100 mg

Answer» Correct Answer - B
