[1.6 x 10\(^{-19}\)C]
A
60°
B
90°
C
30°
D
45°
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
The force acting on a moving charge in the magnetic field is given by: F= qVBSin \theta
sin \theta =F=(8.0x10)-14/1.6x10-19x1.0x106x1.0 = (8.0x10)14/16 x 1013
(8.0x 10)-14/16x10-14
=0.5000
∴ \theta= sin-1 0.5000
=30^\circ

Mechanics and Properties of Matter
Solution
A 3m3 volume of liquid W of density 200kgm3 is mixed with another liquid L of volume 7m3 and density 150kgm-3. the density of mixture is?
A
165kgm-3
B
100kgm-3
C
265kgm-3
D
350kgm-3
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
For liquid W, its mass = vol. x density = 3 x 200 =600kg.
similarly, for liquid L, its mass = 7 x 150 = 1050kg
∴ Total mass of mixture = 600kg + 1050kg =1650kg.
similarly total vol.of the mixture = 3m3 + 7m3 =10m3.
∴ density of the mixture = (Total Mass)/Total Mixture = (1650kg)/10m3
=165kgm-3

Mechanics and Properties of Matter
Solution
A body of mass 36kg falls through a viscous liquid which offers a drag force of 260N on the body. The upthrust on the body at terminal velocity is?
[g = 10ms\(^2\)]
A
100N
B
620N
C
50N
D
310N
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
For anybody falling through a viscous liquid, at its terminal velocity. the resultant force acting on its is zero. from the equation: Mg - v - u = 0. where v = viscous drag
U = upthrust Mg = weight of the body.
∴ 36 x 10 - 260 - U = 0
∴ U = 360 - 260 = 100N
Upthrust on the body = 100N.

Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Melting (I): This process involves the breaking of intermolecular forces as a solid turns into a liquid, reflecting the molecular structure of matter.
Boiling (II): Similar to melting, boiling involves the transition from liquid to gas, indicating how molecules gain energy and move apart
Conduction (IV): This is the process of heat transfer through collisions between molecules, demonstrating how molecular interactions lead to energy transfer.

Power = IV
I = (power)/v = (200)/250
= 8A.
∴ the most suitable fuse for the device is 8A

Mechanics and Properties of Matter
Solution
If the distance between two point charges its increased by a factor of four, the magnitude of the electrostatic force between them will be
A
1/4 of its former value
B
1/16 of its former value
C
1/2 of its former value
D
4 times its former value
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
For the two point charges, the magnitude of the electrostatic force between them is given by the equation:
F ∝ 1/r2, and if the distance is increased by a factor of 4, that is new distance = 4r,
then, new force F ∝ 1/(4r)2
= ∝ 1/16r2
Thus it will be 1/16 of the former value

Mechanics and Properties of Matter
Solution
Two liquids L1 and L2 are contained in a U - tube. The height and the density of L1 are 8 cm and 103 kgm-3 respectively. If the density of L2 is 800 kgm-3, its height measured from the same level is
A
8 cm
B
10 cm
C
16 cm
D
12 cm
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Generally, from Hares Experiment, density is inversely proportional to height
i.e h ∝1/d; → h1d1 = h2d2
∴ 8 x 103 = h2 x 800
∴ h2 = 8 x 103_800
= 10cm

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Normal reaction R = 3 kg x 10 = 30N
coefficient of friction , μ = 0.5
∴ acting frictional force = μR = 30 x 0.5
Pulling/sliding force F = 6kg x 10 = 60N.
∴ Net downward force = ma = 60 - 15.0
=> (3 + 6)a = 45
∴ 9a = 45
a = 5m/s2
