Solution
A string of length 5cm is extended by 0.04m when a load of 0.8kg is suspended at the end. How far will it extend if a force of 16N is applied? [g = 10ms\(^{-2}\)]
A
0.04m
B
0.12m
C
0.01m
D
0.08m
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
From Hoke's Law, F = ke, K = Constant of Force
For he first case, Force = mg,
= 0.8 × 10 = 8N
∴ 8 = k × 0.04
k = \(\frac{8}{0.04}\)
= \(\frac{200N}{m}\)
Since K is constant
For the second case, F = ke
F = 200 × e
∴ e = \(\frac{F}{200}\)
= \(\frac{16}{200}\)
= 0.08m

Solution
How can energy loss be minimized through Eddy-current?
A
By using high resistance wire
B
By using insulated soft iron wires
C
By using low resistance wires
D
Bu using turns of wires
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Eddy currents are produced by the varying flux cathode, the iron core of an equipment thus reducing efficiency due to power consumption. It can be reduced by laminating the core by breaking up the path of eddy current or by increasing the resistance of the core
Usage of insulated soft iron wire is to reduce hysteresis loss
Usage of low resistance wire (thick wire) is to reduce I2R loss
Usage of thick wire is to reduce leakage heat loss due to leakage of magnetic flux
Thus the correct answer is to use high resistance wire or thin wire

c = 8µF, v = 10v
Energy stored = \(\frac{1}{2}\) cv2
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) × (8 × 10− 6) × 102
= 4 × 10\(^{-4}\)

Newton's Laws, Momentum & Collisions
Solution
A constant force of 5N acts for 5 seconds on a mass of 5kg initially at rest. Calculate the final momentum
A
125kgms−1
B
25kgms−1
C
15kgms−1
D
0kgms−1
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Impulse = momentum
Impulse = Force (f) \times time (t)
Momentum = mass (m) \times velocity (v)
∴ Ft = Final momentum - initial momentum
FT = mv - mu
Since it is initially at rest u = 0
∴ 5 \times 5 = mv − m(0)
25 = mv
∴ Final momentum = 25kgms\(^{-1}\)

A
5
B
4
C
3
D
2
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
When two mirror are inclined at an angle \theta, the number of images formed, n = \(\frac{360}{\theta}\) − 1
∴ since \(\theta\) = 90o
∴ \(\frac{360}{\theta}\) − 1
= 4 − 1
