Solu on

Sec on A

1. (c) 1.9 × 1012

Explana on: According to the problem,

Young's modulus, Y = 1.9 × 1011 N/m2

1N in SI system of units = 105 dyne in C.G.S system.

Hence, Y = 1.9 × 1011 × 105 dyne/m2
In C.G.S length is measured in unit cm, so we should also convert m into cm.

∴ Y = 1.9 [∵ 1m = 100 cm]

= 1.9 × 1012 dyne/cm2
2. (d) 20 to 20000 Hz
Explana on: Humans are most sensi ve to (i.e. able to discern at lowest intensity) frequencies between 2,000 and
5,000 Hz. The human ear can respond to minute pressure varia ons in the air if they are in the audible frequency
range, roughly 20 Hz - 20 kHz. This incredible sensi vity is enhanced by an effec ve amplifica on of the sound signal by
the outer and middle ear structures.
3. (c) as that point where the total gravita onal torque on the body is zero
Explana on: The point at which the en re weight of a body may be thought of as centered so that if supported at this
point the body would balance perfectly, so it can also be defined as that point where the total gravita onal torque on
the body is zero.
4. (b) Six mes that on the earth's surface
Explana on: The height to which the liquid rises in a capillary tube is inversion all propor onal to the accelera on due
to gravity. h = 2Srcosρg θ
thus if all other parameters are fixed
h
On the surface of the moon, accelera on due to gravity is th as that on the surface of the earth. Therefore the water
will rise to a height 6 mes that on earth's surface.

Change in gravita onal poten al energy of a system is defined as the -ve of the work done by the gravita onal force as
the configura on of the system is changed.
Uf − Ui = Wgr = V (Poten alEnergy)
Change in gravita onal poten al energy of two point masses m1 and m2 as their separa on is changed from r1 to r2 is

given by

U (r2) − U (r1) = Gm1m2 [ r11 − r12 ]

If, at infinite separa on, gravita onal poten al energy is assumed to be zero, then the gravita onal poten al energy of
the above two point mass system at separa on r,
U(r) = −G m1rm2

∴ V = −G m1rm2

6. (b) 105 second -1

Explana on: Frequency of the source = 100 ± 5 = 105 or 95 Hz
The second harmonic of the source = 210 Hz or 190 Hz
As the second harmonic gives 5 beats/sec with a sound of frequency 205 Hz, the second harmonic should be 210 Hz.
∴ Frequency of the source = 105 Hz
7. (d) rec linear mo on
Explana on: Rec linear mo on is another name for straight-line mo on. This type of mo on describes the movement
of a par cle or a body. A body is said to experience rec linear mo on if any two par cles of the body travel the same
distance along two parallel straight lines.
8. (c) 2 πA
Explana on: Maximum par cle velocity = Wave velocity

or k1
A

∴ λ = 2 πA
9. (c) 27 : 1
Explana on: Excess pressures in the two bubbles will be (1.01 -1) or 0.01 atm and (1.03 - 1) or 0.03 atm.
pp12 = rr21

⇒ rr12 p0.030.01 =3

= 33 = 27 : 1
10. (d) Op on iv
Explana on: The required escape velocity of gas molecules is less than their root mean square velocity.
11. (a) 2
Explana on: As radius of second ring is n mes, length and hence mass of wire used is also n mes.

∴ II12 = nMM(R2 2 = n13 = 18 ∴ n = 2 nR)

12. (b) first decreases and then increases

Explana on: Density of water is maximum at 4oC. So during hea ng from 0oC to 10oC, its density increases at first and
then it decreases resul ng in the decrease in volume at first and then increase in its volume.
13. (a) Asser on and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explana on for asser on.
Explana on: In elas c collision, kine c energy remains conserved therefore the ball rebounds with the same velocity.
According to Newton’s second law.
F × t = change in linear momentum.
∴ F × 1 = m ×n(u + u) or F = 2mnu
14. (c) Asser on is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.

15. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explana on of A.

Explana on:
A uniform shell of ma er exerts no gravita onal force on a par cle located inside it. This also means if a par cle is
located inside a uniform solid sphere of ma er at a distance r from its centre, the gravita onal force exerted on the
4πr3 par cle is
ρ
due only to the mass M' that lies within a sphere of radius r. This mass M' is given by M' = 3 , where ρ is the density
of the sphere.
16. (d) A is false but R is true.
Explana on: At the highest point, the instantaneous velocity is ac ng horizontally and accelera on of projec le
(accelera on due to gravity) is ac ng ver cally downward. Therefore, angle between velocity and accelera on at the
highest point is 90°.

18. Since, e−(az/θ) is dimensionless (exponen al func on), we have az/θ = 1 or, a = Zθ = KL = [L−1K]

We find that a/b = dimensions of pressure (because e−(az/θ) is dimensionless)

a/b = [ML-1T-2] Therefore,

b= a = [L−1K]
[ML−1T−2] [ML−1T−2]

= [M-1T2K]

19. Let T = K pa db Ec, where K = a dimensionless constant. Pu ng the dimensions of various

quan es, T = [ML-1 T-2]a [ML-3]b [ML2 T-2]c or M0L0T = Ma +b + c L~a ~3b + 2c T-2a - 2c
Equa ng the powers of M, L and T on both sides, we get

20. Here m1 = 4 kg, m2, = 5 kg
Force applied on block A = 12 N
This force must atleast be equal to the kine c fric on applied on A by B.

12 = μk × 4 g

or μk = 124g = 3g

The block B is on a smooth surface. Hence to move A and B together, the (maximum) force F that can be applied on B is
equal to the fric onal forces applied on A by B and applied on B by A.
F = μk m1g + μk m2 g = μk (m1 + m2)g

= 3g (4 + 5)g = 27 N
As this force moves both the blocks together on a smooth table, so the accelera on produced is

ii. This is because heat absorbed by a substance (coolant) is directly propor onal to the specific heat of the substance.
iii. This is because in a harbour town, the rela ve humidity is more than in a desert town. Hence, the climate of
aharbour town is without extremes of hot and cold.
27. Conveyor belt is accelera ng with 1 m/s². A man is sta onary with respect to horizontal conveyor belt
Hence, accelera on of man = accelera on of belt = 1m/s²

28. PASCAL LAW :-
One of the most important facts about fluid pressure is that a change in pressure at one part of the liquid will be
transmi ed without any change to other parts. This rule is known as Pascal's law.
Take a vessel containing a liquid in the equilibrium at rest. Consider a volume element of liquid of height h. In the
absence of gravity, according to Pascal's law, the pressure at the upper sec on A and lower sec on B of the volume
element should be same.
However, taking gravity into considera on we find the following forces ac ng on the said volume element:

Force P2 (ΔA) ac ng ver cally upward at the bo om face B, and

Weight mg of the liquid in the volume element ac ng ver cally downwards. Here, ΔA is the cross-sec on area of the
given volume element.
For volume element to be in equilibrium net force ac ng on it should be zero. Therefore, we have
P1△A + mg − P2△A = 0 or P1△A + mg = P2△A
But m = mass of volume element = ΔA.h.ρ, where ρ = density of the liquid
∴ P1△A + △Ahρg = P2△A
⇒ P2 = P1 + hρg
According to the above equa on, if the pressure P1 is increased in any way, the pressure P2 must increase by exactly

the same amount.

The pressure applied to any part of an enclosed liquid at rest is transmi ed undiminished to every por on of the liquid
as well as the walls of the container.

31. a. Weight in weight machine will be due to the normal reac on (N) by pla orm. Consider the top posi on of pla orm,
two forces ac ng on it are due to weight of person and oscillator. They both act downward.

(mg = weight of the person with the oscillator is ac ng downwards, ma = force due to oscilla on is ac ng upwards,
N = normal reac on force ac ng upwards)
Now for the downward mo on of the system with an accelera on a,
ma = mg - N .....(i)
When pla orm li s form its lowest posi on to
upward ma = N - mg ......(ii) a = ω2A is value of
accelera on of oscillator
∴ From equa on (i) we get,
N = mg − mω2A
Where A is amplitude, ω angular frequency and m mass of oscillator.
ω = 2πν
∴ ω = 2π× 2 = 4π rad/sec
Again using A = 5 cm = 5× 10−2m we get
N = 50× 9.8− 50× 4π× 4π× 5× 10−2
= 50[9.8− 16π2 × 5× 10−2]N
= 50[9.8− 80× 3.14× 3.14× 10−2] N
⇒ N = 50[9.8− 7.89] = 50× 1.91 = 95.50N
So minimum weight is 95.50 N(for downward mo on of the pla orm)
From equa on (ii), N – mg = ma
For upward mo on from the lowest to the highest point of oscillator,
N = mg + ma
= m[9.81+ ω2A] ∵ a = ω2A
= 50[9.81+ 16π2 × 5× 10−2]
= 50[9.81+ 7.89] = 50× 17.70N = 885 N
Hence, there is a change in weight of the body during oscilla on.
b. The maximum weight is 885 N, when pla orm moves from lowest to upward direc on.
And the minimum weight is 95.5 N, when pla orm moves from the highest point to downward direc on.

32. As the marble was rolling on the table, therefore it has horizontal velocity and it will act as a projec le as soon as it
leaves the edge of the table and fall freely under the effect of gravity.
Since, the marble is ini ally moving horizontally, vy0 = 0 and vx0 = 1.00 m/s. We must consider the origin to be at the
edge of the table, so that x0 = y0 = 0

But the velocity v at point Q is given by v = u + at = 0 + gt = gt
