What is the correct order of density for group 2 elements?(a) Bc &gt; Mg &gt; Ca &gt; Sr(b) Ca &gt; Mg &gt; Be &gt; Sr(c) Mg &lt; Ca &lt; Sr &lt; Be(d) Ca &lt; Mg &lt; Be &lt; Sr

Answer»

(d) Ca < Mg < Be < Sr

The size of alkali metals increases down the group, and volume also shows an increase. Since volume is inversely proportional to the density, there is an increase in the volume, which is lesser than increasing mass in the case of Sr and Ba. So as moving down the group, density decreases first and then increases.

If the axes of the rolling of the ship and of the stabilizing rotor are parallel, it will result in . (a) A higher bow and lower stern (b) A lower bow and higher stern (c) Turning towards left (d) No gyroscopic effect

Answer»

(d) No gyroscopic effect

If rotor rotating axis i.e. the axis of spin and rolling axis are parallel, then during rolling there will not be any precession i.e. the direction of spin will not be changing during rolling of ship.

Therefore angular velocity of precession

ωp = 0

= C = I. ω.ωp = 0

Therefore, ship will not experience any gyroscopic effect during rolling.

For a single cylinder reciprocating engine speed is 500 rpm, stroke is 150 mm, mass. of reciprocating parts is 21 kg; mass of revolving parts is 15 kg at crank radius. If twothirds of reciprocating masses and all the revolving masses are balanced, the mass at a radius of 150 mm will be (a) 7.5 kg (b) 10.5 kg (c) 12.5 kg (d) 14.5 kg

Answer»

Correct option is (d) 14.5 kg

N = 500 rpm

ω = \(\cfrac{2\pi\times 500}{60}\) 

= 52.3598 rad/s

r = \(\cfrac{150}2\) mm

= 75 mm = 0.075 meter

mreci = 21 kg 

mrot = 15 kg 

b = 150 mm = 0.150 meter 

B = ?

Mass to be balanced = 2/3 Rotating+ Reciprocating

\(\left({15+\cfrac23\times21}\right)\) 

= 15 + 14 = 29 kg

Total mass to be balanced 

m = 29 kg 

mrω2 = B·b·ω2 

29 × 0.075 = B × 0.150

B = \(\cfrac{29\times0.075}{0.150}\) Kg

B = 14.5 kg

What is soil? How is it formed? State the major factors that decide the structure of a soil. What role does it play?

Answer»

Soil is a mixture of broken rocks and minerals, living organisms, and decaying organic matter called humus. Humus is dark, soft and rich in nutrients. Soil also includes air and water.

Soil is formed by the following actions: 

(a) Action of sun: The sun causes the heating of rocks during the day which causes them to expand. Then, these rocks cool down during night time leading to their contraction. Since, all parts of the rocks do not expand and contract at the same rate; it results in the formation of cracks on the rocks. Finally, these huge rocks break down into smaller pieces. 

(b) Action of wind: Strong winds and storms also erode the rocks. The strong wind carries small rock pieces and sand from one place to another like water. 

(c) Action of living organism: Roots of plants break down the rocks. Similarly, Lichens grow on the surface of rocks. These lichens release certain chemical that causes the rock surface to powder down to form a thin layer of soil. 

(d) Action of water: 

(i) Water gets into the cracks in the rocks, when this water freezes, it causes the cracks to widen. 

(ii) Flowing water wears away even hard rocks over long periods of time. Fast flowing water often carries big and small particles of rock downstream. These rocks rub against other rocks and the resultant abrasion causes the rocks to wear down into smaller and smaller particles, resulting in the formation of soil. 

The type of soil is decided by the average size of particles found in it and the quality of the soil is decided by the amount of humus and the microscopic organisms found in it. 

The nutrient content of a soil, the amount of humus present in it and the depth of the soil are some of the factors that decide which plants will thrive on that soil. The quality of the topsoil is an important factor that decides biodiversity in that area.

27686.

(a) What causes wind?(b) List any two methods of preventing soil erosion.

Answer»

(a) The air above land gets heated faster and being light, it starts rising up. As the air rises, a region of low pressure is created. As a result, the air from the surrounding areas and from the top of the water bodies rushes into this area. The movement of air from one region to another creates wind.

(b) Soil erosion can be prevented by avoiding over-grazing, by constructing proper drainage canals around the fields.

Our earth is covered with approximately 75% water; still there is an urgent need to conserve water, why?

Answer»

Water covers nearly 75% of the earth but most of the earth’s water is salty or permanently frozen. Ninety - seven percent of all the water on the earth is salt water which is not suitable for drinking. Only three percent of all the water is fresh water, and only one percent is available for drinking water. The other two percent is locked in ice caps and glaciers. Fresh water is found in ice, lakes, rivers, streams and underground. With all the people on Earth relying on such a small percentage of all the water on Earth, it only makes sense that we must preserve and conserve our water. Moreover, most of the sources of water supply are contaminated by industrial waste or sewage making it all the more necessary to conserve water.
