2. A wooden block is on the bottom of a tank when water is poured in the contact
between the block and the tank is so good that no water gets between them. Is
there a buoyant force on the block ? (HOTS)
? (HOTS)
9. Figure shows the strain-stress curve for a given material. What are (a) Youngs
modulus, and (b) approximate yield strength for this material ?
10. What displacement,(i) the P.E. of a simple harmonic oscillator is maximum,
(ii) the K.E. is maximum?
12. The velocity-time graph of an object moving along a straight line is as shown
:
14. Three blocks are connected as shown below and are on a horizontal
frictionless table. They are pulled to right with a force F = 50 N. If m1 = 5 kg, m2
= 10 kg and m3 = 15 kg. calculate tensions T1 and T2.
15. What are the important points about the uniform motion ?
16. A truck and a car moving with the same K.E. on a straight road. Their engines
are simultaneously switched off. Which one will stop at a lesser distance ?
17. Calculate the moment of inertia about the diameter if that of an axis
perpendicular to the plane of a disc and passing through its centre is given by 1/2
MR2 .
Or
Derive the expression for momentum conversation.
19. The amplitude of a simple harmonic oscillator is doubled. How does this effect
: (i) the maximum velocity, (ii) the total energy, and (iii) the period of oscillator ?
21. (a) The blood pressure in human is greater at the feet than at the brain. Why
?
(b) Atmospheric pressure at a height of about 6 km decreases to nearly half its
value at the sea level, though the height of the atmosphere is more than 100
km. Why ?
(c) Hydrostatic pressure is a scalar quantity even though pressure is force finited
by area, and force is a vector. Why ?
22. Two cylinders A and B of equal capacity are connected to each other via a
stopcock. A contains a gas at standard temperature and pressure. B is completely
evaaeated. The entire system is thermally insulated. The stopcock is suddenly
opened. Answer the following :
(a) What is the final pressure of the gas in A and B?
(b) What is change in the internal energy of the gas ?
(c) What is the change in the temperature of the gas ?
(d) Do the intermediate state of the system (before sitting to the final equilibrium
state) lie on its P V T surface ?
23. Radha found the wheel getting detached from her uncles car. She took it to
workshop and got it repaired. She informed her uncle, who is a mechanical
engineer, about this matter.
(a) What according to you the values displayed by Radha ?
(b) A thin wheel can stay up-right on its rim for a considerable length of time
when rolled with a considerable velocity, while it falls from its upright position at
the slightest disturbance, when stationary. Explain. (V.B.Q.)
