Two vessels have the same base area but different shapes. The first vessels takes twice the volume of water that the second vessel requires to fill upto a particular common height. Is the force exerted by the water on the base of the vessel the same ? Why do the vessels filled to same height give different reading on weighing scale. |
|
Answer» (i) As the two vessels have liquid to same height and the vessels have same base area, the force exerted = pressure × base area will be same as pressure = h p g. (ii) Since the volume of water in vessel 1 is greater than in vessel (2) the weight of water = volume × density × h, so weight of first vessel will be greater than the water in second vessel. |

Virginia Woolf has created many characters other than Miss Mabel with great skill. Write a character sketch of any one of them. |
|
Answer» One of the guests at Mrs. Dalloway’s party was Charles Burt. Mabel was impressed by him and longing for some praise from him. However, he was a malicious person, with no heart, no fundamental kindness and only a superficial appearance of friendliness. He liked to poke fun at people and see their reactions. He probably also liked to gossip about people and discuss them behind their backs, but his opinion made a great difference to Mabel. |
|
| 27260. |
Pick out the sentences from the extract which describe the ambience of the party at Mrs. Dalloway’s place. |
|
Answer» 1. “But it’s too early to go,” said Mrs. Dalloway, who was always so charming. 2. “I have enjoyed myself,” she said to Mr. Dalloway, whom she met on the stairs. 3. She thanked Mrs. Barnet for helping her. |
|
| 27261. |
Discuss different pessimistic thoughts in Mabel’s mind. |
|
Answer» Mabel felt that all the thrill she had felt in her dress had vanished when she entered Mrs. Dalloway’s drawing room, and her eyes were opened to the reality of the dress. She felt depressed and weak that at her age, and with two children, she cared so much about the opinions of other people and did not have any principles or convictions of her own. She was upset that she could not take things lightly, as others did. She found plenty of faults in herself. |
|
| 27262. |
There is another character mentioned in this extract. Discuss the way his/ her reactions help us to understand the inferiority complex of Mabel. |
|
Answer» Mrs. Barnet touched the brushes and drew Mabel’s attention, rather markedly, to the appliances kept on the dressing table for improving one’s looks. She indirectly indicated to Mabel that something about Mabel’s looks was not quite right. Mabel immediately lost whatever confidence she had. This shows us that Mabel’s inferiority complex was so deep and strong that even a housekeeper’s hint rattled her and made her lose confidence. |
|
| 27263. |
Describe Mabel’s plans and expectations for the next day. |
|
Answer» Mabel planned that she would go to the London Library the next day. She would find some wonderful, helpful, astonishing book, by a clergyman or by an American no one had ever heard of or she would walk down the Strand and drop into a hall where a miner was telling about the life in the pit, and suddenly she would become a new person. She would be transformed. She would wear a uniform; somebody would call her Sister : she would never give a thought to clothes again. And after that she would be perfectly clear about Charles Burt and Miss Milan forever. |

‘Lencho had immense faith in God.’ – Comment. |
|
Answer» Lencho had complete faith in God as he is instructed that-‘God knows everything and helps us in our problems.’ All through the night of the hail-storm, he thought only of one hope the help from God. He was instructed that eyes of God see everything, even what is deep in one’s conscience. He had faith that God lets no one die of hunger. With this deep faith in God, he wrote a letter to God that if He didn’t help him, his family and he would go hungry that year. He wrote ‘To God’ on the envelope, put the letter inside and went to town to post it. When he received the money he had asked for, it was less than his demand. He firmly believed God could not have made the mistake, nor could He have denied what Lencho had asked for. And once more he wrote to God, “Send me the rest (money) since I need it very much.” What an immense faith in God! |

“A successful enterprise has to achieve its goals effectively and efficiently:” Explain. |
|
Answer» “A successful enterprise has to achieve its goals effectively and efficiently”. That is, management has to see that tasks are completed and goals are achieved with minimum resources. Management has to get things done with the aim of achieving goals effectively and efficiently. Being effective or doing work effectively basically means finishing the given task. It is concerned with the end result, it is achieved or not. Efficiency means doing the work correctly and with minimum cost. If by using less resources, more benefits are derived then efficiency has increased. It is thus essential for any organisation to focus on efficiency as well as effectiveness. It is not only important to complete the work correctly but equally important to complete it with minimum cost. In the same manner, it is not only important to reduce cost but equally important to complete the work correctly. |

Define management and explain its characteristics. |
|
Answer» Management: Following characteristics of management are to be kept in mind in order to understand the concept and nature of management: 1. Universal process: Management is a universal process i.e. it is required everywhere and anywhere.
2. Goal-oriented activity: Management is a tool to attain a goal and not a goal itself. Every business unit is formed to achieve certain business and profit objectives. Proper management is extremely important to achieve these objectives in a competent and economical way. 3. Group activity:
4. Continuous process:
5. Human process: Although management is a universal activity, it cannot be done without humans. The human element is the most significant and central element of management. ‘Without man’ there is no ‘management’. All other means of production are useless without man. Management is done by the human being and for the human being. 6. Decision process:
7. Science, Art and Profession: The way science works on its own set of rules and principles, so does management. Hence many experts consider management as a science. On the other hand, management focuses heavily on managing man i.e. people. Managing people is an art and so management is also considered as an art. Getting work done from man requires proficiency, intelligence, cleverness and insight. So, management is the art of getting the work done. Today’s business management is also handled by people who are trained and are expert in the field. In other words they are thorough professionals. For example, professionals like lawyers, doctors, chartered accountants, etc. manage their works quite professionally. Similarly, people who have |
