The length of stem of a hydrometer is 10cm and the volume of stem is 10 cubic cm. While floating in pure water, it sinks to the 5cm mark. The mass of hydrometer is 200g. What will be the density of liquid in which hydrometer(i) sinks to the top of stem(ii) sinks to the bottom of stem?

Answer»

Length of hydrometer stem = 10cm
volume of hydrometer stem = 10cm³
So base area (A)= 10cm³ / 10cm = 1cm²

When it is PUT in pure water, It sinks to 5cm mark
mass of hydrometer = 200g
since it is floating, mass of water DISPLACED = mass of hydrometer = 200g
assuming density of water = 1g/CC

volume of hydrometer(upto 5cm mark) = mass of water displaced/density of water                                                               =200/1
                                                           = 200 cc

now if it is put in a liquid where
(i) it sinks to the top of the stem,
the mark till which it sinks is 10cm.

volume of liquid displaced = volume of hydrometer(upto 5cm mark) + volume of hydrometer from 5cm mark to 10 cm mark
                                       = 200 cc + (10-5)cm×1cm²
                                       = 205cc
     [(10-5) is the height and 1cm² is the base area]
                                       
density of liquid = mass of hydrometer / volume of liquid displaced
                        = 200/205
                        = 0.9756 g/cc

(ii) it sinks to the bottom of the stem,
the mark till which it sinks is 0cm.

volume of liquid displaced = volume of hydrometer(upto 5cm mark) - volume of hydrometer from 0cm mark to 5 cm mark
                                       = 200 cc - (5-0)cm×1cm²
                                       = 195cc
     [(5-0) is the height and 1cm² is the base area]
                                       
density of liquid = mass of hydrometer / volume of liquid displaced
                        = 200/195
                        = 1.0256 g/cc

Explain principle and working of moving coil galvanometer with diagram ?

Answer»

First you need to know what is moving coil - galvanometer ???Galvanometer is operated by the force exerted by an electric current flowing in a movable coil suspended in a magnetic field.................. !!!!WORKING of moving coil of galvanometer :- Principle: -Its working is based on the fact that when a current carrying coil is placed in a magnetic field, it EXPERIENCES a torque.Principle:Its working is based on the fact that when a current carrying coil is placed in a magnetic field, it experiences a torque.Working:Suppose the coil PQRS is suspended freely in the magnetic field.Letl = Length PQ or RS of the COILB = Breadth QR or SP of the coiln = Number of turns in the coilArea of each turn of the coil, A = l × bLet B = Strength of the magnetic field in which coil is suspendedI = Current passing through the coil in the direction PQRSLet, at any instant, α be the angle which the normal drawn on the plane of the coil makes with the direction of magnetic field.The rectangular coil carrying current when placed in the magnetic field experiences a torque whose magnitude is given by,τ = nIBA sinαDue to deflecting torque, the coil rotates and SUSPENSION wire gets twisted. A restoring torque is set up in the suspension wire.Let θbe the twist produced in the phosphor bronze strip due to rotation of the coil and K be the restoring torque per unit twist of the phosphor bronze strip. Then,Total restoring torque produced = kθIn equilibrium POSITION of the coil,Deflecting torque = Restoring torque∴ NIBA = kθ. So this is the working moeel of galvanometer

What is a transistor? How does it work? Gi

Answer» The design of a transistor allows it to function as an amplifier or a switch. This is ACCOMPLISHED by using a small amount of electricity to control a gate on a much larger SUPPLY of electricity, much like turning a VALVE to control a supply of water. 

Transistors are composed of three parts – a base, a collector, and an emitter. The base is the gate controller device for the larger ELECTRICAL supply. The collector is the larger electrical supply, and the emitter is the outlet for that supply. By sending varying levels of CURRENT from the base, the amount of current flowing through the gate from the collector may be regulated. In this way, a very small amount of current may be used to control a large amount of current, as in an amplifier. The same process is used to create the binary code for the digital processors but in this case a voltage threshold of five volts is needed to open the collector gate. In this way, the transistor is being used as a switch with a binary function: five volts – ON, less than five volts – OFF. 

Semi-conductive materials are what make the transistor possible. Most people are familiar with electrically conductive and non-conductive materials. Metals are typically thought of as being conductive. Materials such as wood, plastics, glass and ceramics are non-conductive, or insulators. In the late 1940’s a team of scientists working at Bell Labs in New Jersey, discovered how to take certain types of crystals and use them as electronic control devices by exploiting their semi-conductive properties.Most non-metallic crystalline structures would typically be considered insulators. But by forcing crystals of germanium or silicon to grow with impurities such as boron or phosphorus, the crystals gain entirely different electrical conductive properties. By sandwiching this material between two conductive plates (the emitter and the collector), a transistor is made. By applying current to the semi-conductive material (base), electrons gather until an effectual conduit is formed allowing electricity to pass The scientists that were responsible for the invention of the transistor were John Bardeen, Walter Brattain, and William Shockley. Their Patent was called: “Three Electrode Circuit Element Utilizing Semiconductive Materials.”

Choose the correct one- A block of ice floats in water, such that the temperature of ice as well as water is 0 degree C. In this situation, the wt. of ice =(a)Wt. of water displaced by the immersed part of ice(b) Volume of water displaced by the immersed part of ice(c)Wt. of water displ. by the complete block of ice(d) NonePlease explain as well

Answer» Weight of ice equals Wt. of water displaced by the IMMERSED part of ice

This is from the statement of archimedes principle - The upward FORCE experienced by a body in a liquid is equal to the weight of liquid displaced by the immersed part of the body.
When the ice block FLOATS in water i.e. the FORCES on the bock of ice are balanced, upward force (also called BUOYANT force) is equal to the weight of the ice (from its free body diagram).

How much work is done by force of 1gcm^2 while displacing an object by 1m and give it's relation with work done by a force of 1N in displacing the same object by 1m.. URGENT NEED

Answer»

1gcm² is not a FORCE. It can be 1 gcm/s².

force = 1 gcm/s² = 10^(-5) N
displacement = 1m
work DONE,W₁ = FS = 10^(-5)×1 = 10^(-5) J

Work done by a force 1N in displacing the object by 1m is given by
W₂ = 1×1 = 1J

\frac{W_2}{W_1} = \frac{1}{10^{-5}} \\ \\ \Rightarrow \frac{W_2}{W_1} = 10^5\\ \\ \Rightarrow W_2=10^5W_1

Explain why an iron needle sink and a ship made of iron not sink

Answer» An object will float if it can DISPLACE the amount of WATER that would EQUAL its weight. The amount of water a needle displaces is very little and thus is not greater than the weight of the needle. The ship, because it is not solid displaces enough water to equal it's weight, so it FLOATS.

How does DC generator works?

Answer» A DC GENERATOR PRODUCES DIRECT power. These generators produce electrical power, based on same fundamental principle of Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction. According to these law, when an CONDUCTOR moves in a magnetic field it cuts magnetic lines force, due to which an emf is induced in the conductor. The magnitude of this induced emf depends upon the rate of change of flux linkage with the conductor. This emf will cause an current to flow if the conductor circuit is closed.

Here g=GM/R*R at the centre of earth R=0 ; M=0 why g=0 but this is in 0/0 form

Answer»

Me = 4/3 π Re³  * d,   where  Re = Radius of Earth   
            Me = Mass of EArth         d = density of Earth  (we assume it is uniform)

Let us find the gravity at a distance r from the center of Earth.  Mass of Earth enclosed inside the radius r is :

M = 4/3 π r³ d  = 4/3 π r³ (3Me /Re³ 4π)
    = Me r³/ Re³

Gravity at a location r distance AWAY from center of Earth is = G (Me r³/Re³) / r²
  THUS  g' = G Me r / Re³ = g r /Re ,
              where g = acceleration DUE to gravity at the surface of Earth.
 
       Thus  if r = 0,  g' = 0.

In other words,  M  varies as cube of R  and  in the denominator, we have a square of R.  Thus g is proportional to R inside the Earth's surface.

The best distant object for determining the focal length of a concave mirror by obtaining the image of a distant object isA) sunB) classroom windowC) a distant treeD) a well illuminated buildingexplain it

Answer»

I suppose A) Sun ,  as the sun is FARTHEST.    so  1/u = 0.    v = f.

     The objects  Sun and a well illuminated building are  good sources of light.  Because they are distant, the rays from them on to the small concave mirror are parallel.  Thus, the rays converge at the focal point.   You need a very small PIECE of paper or screen to capture the image.  In fact,  the image will be a small bright spot.  The Sun may be a better SOURCE in the day.   But to be careful the screen (or the paper) may BURN due to the concentration of HEAT at the focus.

     The class room window and the distant tree are not light sources themselves.  So they may not reflect a lot of light.  As the image is very small at the focal point, we cannot identify the image of the tree or window.

45.

A student obtains a blurred image of an object on a sceen by using a concave mirror.in order to obtain a sharp image of the same object on the screen, he will have to shift the mirrorA) away from the screenB towards the screenC)either towards or away from the screen depending upon the position of the objectD)very far away from the screengive reasons toooooo

Answer»

1/f = 1/ u + 1/V

1/v = 1/f - 1/u      => v = u f / (u - f)

in a concave mirror with an inverted real image on screen, all QUANTITIES, v , f and u are negative. So the negative sign cancels out.
      
   if  u increases a little, then v  DECREASES,  If u decreases then v increases.

Depending on the position of the object and screen with respect to the mirror, one may have to move in EITHER direction.

Moving the mirror away or towards the object , could depend on the position of the object -- if it is outside the 2 * focal length distance or if the object is placed between the center of curvature and the principal focus point.

A student has to do the experiment,on finding the focal length of a given concave mirror, by using a distant object. out of the following, "set ups"(A,B,C,D) available to her,the set up which will give best result isA) a screen,a mirror holder & a scaleB)a mirror holder,a screen holder & a scaleC) a screen holder & a scaleD) a mirror holder & a screen holderanswer one among the 4. i am confused kindly provide appropriate reason

Answer»

A)a screen,a mirror holder and a scale
OPTION C and D never be true.because it does not contain appropriate material.confusion can be in A and B.by looking B option we SEES that  there is not present screen,which is NECESSARY for making image.Hence option A is correct
