Fine the mass of the second body.

Q14. Describe stress strain relationship for a loaded steel wire and hence explain the terms
elastic limit, permanent set, breaking point.

Q15. Air pressure in a car tire increases during driving? Why?

Q16. Hydrostatic pressure is a scalar quantity even though pressure is force divided by area,
and force is a vector. Explain?

length of one is 50cm and that of the other is 50.1 cm. Calculate the frequencies of two
wives?

Q20. (a) State impulse momentum theorem?

(b) A ball of mass 0.1kg is thrown against a wall. It strikes the wall normally with a
velocity of 30m/s and rebounds with a velocity of 20m/s. calculate the impulse
of the force exerted by the ball on the wall.

Q21. (a) Define time of flight and horizontal range?

(b) From a certain height above the ground a stone A is dropped gently.

Simultaneously another stone B is fired horizontally. Which of the two stones will
arrive on the ground earlier?

Q22. If the momentum of the body increases by 20% what will be the increase in the K.E. of
the body?

Q23. A circular ring of diameter 40cm and mass 1kg is rotating about an axis normal to its
plane and passing through the centre with a frequency of 10 rotations per second.
Calculate the angular momentum about its axis of rotation?

mass 0.40 kg moving initially with constant speed of 10m/s to the north is subject to a
constant force of 8.0 N directed towards south for 30s. Take at that instant, the force is
applied to be t = 0, and the position of the particle at that time to be x = 0, predict its
position at t = -5s, 25s, 30s?

correspondence of S. H. M. and uniform circular motion, find displacement, velocity,
amplitude, time period and frequency of a particle executing SH.M?
