A machine has an efficiency of 80%. If the input work is 200J, the output work is?
A
250J
B
160J
C
120J
D

Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
\(\text{Efficiency} = \frac{\text{Output Work}}{\text{Input Work}}\)
Given: \(\text{Efficiency} = 80\% = 0.8\), \(\text{Input Work} = 200 \text{ J}\)
Then, the output work is calculated as follows:
\(\text{Output Work} = 0.8 \times 200 = 160 \, \text{J}\)
Thus, the output work is: \(\text{Output Work} = 160 \, \text{J}\).

What mass of silver is deposited during electrolysis when a current of 0.8 A flows for 25 minutes?
A
0.22 g
B
1.86 g
C
0.14 g
D
1.34g
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Answer: D
To calculate the mass of silver deposited during electrolysis, we use the formula:
\(m = \frac{Q \cdot M}{n \cdot F}\)
Where: \( I = 0.8 \, \text{A} \), \( t = 25 \, \text{minutes} = 25 \times 60 = 1500 \, \text{s} \), \( Q = I \cdot t = 0.8 \, \text{A} \cdot 1500 \, \text{s} = 1200 \, \text{C} \)
\( M = 107.87 \, \text{g/mol} \), \( n = 1 \), \( F \approx 96485 \, \text{C/mol} \)
Substituting the values:
\(m = \frac{1200 \, \text{C} \cdot 107.87 \, \text{g/mol}}{1 \cdot 96485 \, \text{C/mol}} = \frac{129444}{96500} \approx 1.34 \, \text{g}\)

Solution
The thermal capacity of a body depends on one of the following
A
Quantity of heat
B
Temperature and mass
C
Nature and mass
D
Mass, volume, and temperature
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
The thermal capacity (or heat capacity) of a body is the amount of heat required to raise its temperature by 1^\circC (or 1 K). It is calculated as:
C = m.c
where:
( m ) is the mass of the body,
( c ) is the specific heat capacity, which depends on the nature (material or substance) of the body.
Thus, thermal capacity depends on both the mass and the nature of the material.

What is the pressure exerted by 4.5m\(^3\) of gas at 17ºC in a cylinder if the number of moles is 8.3 moles? (R = 8.31 JK\(^{-1}\)mol\(^{-1}\))
A
3170Pa
B
6740Pa
C
2850Pa
D
4445Pa
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
The ideal gas law is \( PV = nRT \).
Making \( P \) the subject:
\[ P = \frac{nRT}{V} \]
Substitute the values:
- \( n = 8.3 \, \mathrm{mol} \), \( R = 8.31 \, \mathrm{J \, K^{-1} \, mol^{-1}} \), \( T = 17^\circ \mathrm{C} = 290 \, \mathrm{K} \)
- \( V = 4.5 \, \mathrm{m}^3 \)
\( P = \frac{8.3 \times 8.31 \times 290}{4.5} = 4444.93 \, \mathrm{Pa} \)

B
76Kgm\(^{-3}\)
C
7.6Kgm\(^{-3}\)
D

Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Specific gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of the liquid (\(\rho_l\)) to the density of water (\(\rho_w\)):
\( \mathrm{SG} = \frac{\rho_l}{\rho_w} \)
Rearranging for density:
\((\rho_l = \mathrm{SG} \times \rho_w = 0.76 \times 1000 = 760 \, \mathrm{kg \, m^{-3}}\)

\(F = m \cdot g = 1.5 \, \text{kg} \times 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 15 \, \text{N}\)
\(A = \pi r^2 = \pi (0.003 \, \text{m})^2 = \pi (9 \times 10^{-6}) \approx 2.827 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{m}^2\)
\(\text{Stress} = \frac{F}{A} = \frac{15 \, \text{N}}{2.827 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{m}^2} \approx 5.299 \times 10^5 \, \text{Pa}\)

Calculate the depth of a swimming pool if the apparent depth is 10cm(refractive index of water is 1.33)
A
7.5cm
B
10.0cm
C
13.3cm
D
6.87cm
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
The apparent depth of an object in water (as viewed from air) is less than the real depth due to refraction. The relationship is given by:
\(\mu = \frac{\text{Real depth}}{\text{Apparent depth}}\)
where \(\mu\) is the refractive index of water (\(\mu = 1.33\)).
Rearranging for real depth: \(\text{Real depth} = \mu \times \text{Apparent depth} = 1.33 \times 10 \, \text{cm} = 13.3 \, \text{cm}\)

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
\(B = \frac{F}{q \cdot v \cdot \sin \theta}\)
\(\theta = 45^\circ \implies \sin 45^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\)
Substituting the values:
\(B = \frac{6}{(5 \times 10^{-6})(3 \times 10^4) \left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)}\)
Simplifying:
\(B = \frac{6}{(15 \times 10^{-2}) \left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)} \approx \frac{6}{0.1061} \approx 56.5 \, \text{T}\)
