2. A door is pushed, at a point whose distance from the hinges is 90 cm, with a force of 40 N.
Calculate the moment of the force about the hinges. (TB – P.No: 12)
Force F = 40 N
Distance from hinges d = 90 cm = 90 x 10-2 = 0.9 m.
The moment of a force: M = F × d
Hence, moment of the force = 40 × 0.9 = 36 Nm.
Moment of the force = 36 Nm
3. If a 5 N and a 15 N forces are acting opposite to one another. Find the resultant force and
the direction of action of the resultant force
Given , F1 = 5N ∶ F2 = 15 N
Two forces acting opposite to one another.
Therefore, Resultant force is, Fnet = F2 − F1 (F2 > F1)
Fnet = 15 − 5 = 10 N.
Resultant Force = 10 N.
The direction of Fnet is 𝟏𝟓 𝐍.

9. Three resistors of resistances 5 ohm, 3 ohm and 2 ohm are connected in series with 10 V
battery. Calculate their effective resistance and the current flowing through the circuit.
(TB – P.No: 48)
R1 = 5 Ω, R2 = 3 Ω, R3 = 2 Ω, V = 10 V
Rs = R1 + R2 + R3, Rs = 5 + 3 + 2 = 10
hence Rs = 10 Ω

(SEP – 20) (TB – P.No: 51)
Given resistance R = 5 Ω,
Current I = 6 A,
Time t = 5 minutes = 5 × 60 s = 300 s
Amount of heat produced, H = I2Rt,
H = 62 × 5 × 300. Hence, H = 54000 J

11. Air temperature in the Rajasthan desert can reach 46°𝑪. What is the velocity of sound in
air at that temperature? (V = 331 m s-1)
𝑉0 = 331 m s-1 𝑇 = 46
𝑉 = (𝑉0 + 0.61𝑇) = 331 × 0.61 X 46
𝑉 = 331 + 28.06 = 359.06 m s-1

13. 𝟗𝟐 𝐔 experiences one 𝜶 decay. Find the number of neutrons in the final daughter
nucleus that is formed. (PTA - 1)
One alpha decay Atomic number decreases by two (2) therefore 92 – 2 = 90
One alpha decay Mass number decreases by four (4) therefore 238 – 4 = 234
The number of neutrons in the final daughter nucleus = Mass number – Atomic number
The number of neutrons in the final daughter nucleus = 234 – 90 = 144
