Solution
A piece of iron weights 250 N in air and 200 N in a liquid of density 1000 kgm-3. the volume of the iron is?
A
5.0 x 10-3 m-3
B
4.5 x 10-3 m-3
C
2.5 x 10-3 m-3
D
2.0 x 10-3 m-3
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Wt in the air = 250N
wt. in the liquid = 200N
loss in wt. in the liquid = 250 - 200 = 50N
∴ mass of liquid displaced = 50N → 5kg
∴If the density of the liquid is 1000kgm-3
then the volume of the liquid = (M)/D = V = (5kg)/1000 = 0.005 → 5.0 X \(10^{-3}\)\(m^3\)

2 kg of water is heated with a heating coil which draws 3.5 A from a 200 V mains for 2 minutes. what is the increase in temperature of the water?
[specific heat capacity of water = 4200 jkg -1k-1]
A
30°
B
25°
C
15°
D
10°
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Electricity heat energy supplies by the heater = lvt = 3.5 x 200 x (2 x 60) = 84000j.
and this heat is supplied to the 2 kg of the water MC ∆ t = 84000
2 x 4200 x ∆ t = 84000
∴ ∆t = (84000)/8400 = 10°c
∴ increase in temp. of water = 10°c

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Resolution of force:
Total vertical upward force:
= 3√3 + 10 cos 60o
= 3√3 + 5.
Total downward force
= 6 cos 30o
= 6 x √(3/2) = 3√3
Total horizontal forces towards right;
= 3N + cos 30o
= 3N + 10 x √(3/2)
= 3N + 5√3
Total horizontal forces towards left:
= 6 cos 60o
= 6 x 0.5
= 3.0N
Summary:
Vertical resultant forces upward:
= 3√3 + 5 - 3√3
= 5N
Horizontal resultant forces towards right:
= 3N + 5√3 - 3√3
= 5N
Horizontal resultant force towards right
= 3N + 5√3 - 3N
= 5√3N
∴ R2 = 52 + (5√3)2
= 25 + 25 x 3
= 100
∴ R = √100
= 10N

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Being a uniform rod, the height W should be acting at the mid point 25cm mark.
∴ Taking moment about the fulcrum, F,
200 x 10 = W x 10 + 40 x 30
2000 = 10W + 1200
=> 10W = 2000 - 1200
= 800
w = 800/10 = 80N

118.8cm2 surface of the copper cathode of a voltameter is to be coated with 10-6m thick copper of density 9 x 103kgm-3. How long will the process run with 10A constant current?
[3.3 x 10-7kgC-1]
A
5.4 min
B
10.8 min
C
15.0 min
D
20.0 min
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
From faradays law, M = itz
But mass, M = volume x density
and volume = cross-sectional area x thickness
M = 118.8 x 10\(^{-6}\) x 9 x 10\(^3\)
∴ 118.8cm2 x 10\(^{-6}\) x 9 x 10\(^3\) = 10 x t x 3.3 x 10\(^{-7}\)
∴ (118.8 x 9) x 10\(^{-7}\) = 10 x t x 3.3 x 10\(^{-7}\)
∴ t = \(\frac{118.8 \times 9}{ 3.3}\)
t = 324 seconds
Convert to minutes by dividing by 60
t = \(\frac{324}{60}\)
t = 5.4 mins.

Solution
A mass of mass m, experiences a viscous drag, F and an upthrust, U as he descends towards the ground at a steady velocity, Using a parachute. If the acceleration of free fall is g, which of the following expressions is correct?
A
FU = mg
B
U + F - mg = 0
C
U - F = mg
D
F - U - mg = 0
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
The forces acting on the mass include:
Weight: W = mg (downward)
Upthrust: U (upward)
Viscous Drag: F (upward)
Since the mass is descending at a steady velocity, the net force acting on it is zero. This means that the upward forces (upthrust and viscous drag) balance the downward force (weight): mg = U + F = U + F - mg = 0
