Circular Motion, Gravitation & Simple Harmonic Motion
Solution
A man standing on a lift that is descending does not feel any weight because
A
the inside of the lift is air tight
B
the lift is in vacuum
C
the lift's acceleration is same as acceleration due to gravity
D
there is no gravitational pull on the man in the lift
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
The resultant force acting on the man is given by w = mg - R
Mg - mg = 0
The man feels weightless because the reaction, R is equal to the weight mg

Current Electricity & Electric Circuits
Solution
Two balls, X and Y, weighing 5 g and 50 kg respectively, were thrown up vertically at the same time with a velocity of 100 ms\(^{-1}\). How will their positions be one second later?
A
X and Y will be 500 m from each other
B
Y will be 500 m ahead of X
C
X will be 500 m ahead of Y
D
X and Y both be 500 m from the point of throw
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
V\(^2\) = U\(^2\) - 2gS
0 = 100\(^2\) - 2 x 10 x S = 10000 - 20S
S = \(\frac{10000}{20}\) = 500m
Which is independent of mass. The two bodies were acted upon by the same retarding force of gravity, which is independent of the mass of the body; therefore, both will be 500 m from the point of throw.

Verified Correct Answer: Option E
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
increase in volume, \(\Delta\)V = V x 3\(\alpha\) x \(\Delta \theta\)
= 3 x 2.0 X 10\(^{-5}\) x 40 x (90 - 30)
= 6 x 10\(^{-5}\) x 40 x 60
0.144 cm\(^3\)

Elasticity, Density, Pressure & Fluids
Solution
A copper wire was subjected to a tensile stress of 7.7 x 10\(^7\). Calculate the strain of the wire.
[Young modules = 1.1 x 10\(^11\) Nm\(^{-2}\)]
A
2. 0 x 10-5
B
7.0 x 10-3
C
7.0 x 10-4
D
2.2 x 10-4
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Young modules = \( \frac{\text{Tensile stress}}{\text{Tensile strain}}\)
= \( 1.1 \times 10^11 = \frac{7.7 \times 10^7}{\text{Tensile Strain}} \)
∴ Tensile strain = \( \frac{7.7 \times 10^7}{1.1 \times 10^{11}} \)
= \( 7.0 \times 10^{7-11}
= 7.0 \times 10^{-4} \)

From the statement above, the qualities of a good thermometer are
A
I and II
B
I, II,III and IV
C
I, III and IV
D
II, III and IV
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
A good thermometric liquid should not have a high thermal capacity so that the themperetue of the body being measured will not be affected
∴ II, III and IV are qualities of a good thermometer
