Equilibrium of Forces, Moments & Flotation
Solution
A copper cube weighs 0.25 N in air, 0.17N when completely immersed in paraffin oil and 0.15 N when completely immersed in water.The ratio of upthrust in oil to upthrust in water is
A
3 : 5
B
4 : 5
C
7 : 10
D
13 : 10
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Wt. in air = 0.25 N
Wt.in water = 0.15 N
Therefore, lost in wt. in water = Upthrust in water
= 0.25 - 0.15
= 0.10 N.
Wt. in paraffin oil = 0.17 N.
.. loss in wt. in oil = upthrust in the oil = 0.25 - 0.17 = 0.08
Ratio of upthrust in oil to upthrust in water
= \(\frac{0.08}{0.10}\) = \(\frac{8}{10}\) = \(\frac{4}{5}\) Or 4 : 5

Work, Energy, Power & Simple Machines
Solution
A wheel and axle is used to raise a load of 500 N by the application of an effort of 250 N. If the radii of the wheel and the axle are 0.4 cm and 0.1 cm respectively, the efficiency of the machine is
A
20 %
B
40 %
C
50 %
D
60 %
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Efficiency = M.A/V.R X 100/1 M.A = Load/Effort = 500/250
= 2
V.R. = radius of wheel/radius of axle = 0.4/0.1 = 4.
therefore Efficiency = 2/4 x 100/1 = 50 %

Linear Motion, Projectiles & Kinematics
Solution
The hydrostatic blood pressure difference between the head and the feet of a boy standing straight is 1.65 x 104 Nm-2. Find the height of the boy.
[ Density of blood = 1.1 x 103 kgm-3, g = 10ms-2]
A
0.5 m
B
0.6 m
C
1.5 m
D
2.0 m
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
[ Density of blood = 1.1 x 103 kgm-3, g = 10ms-2]
Pressure = pgh, where p = density, h = the height, g = acceleration of free fall due to gravity
1.6.5 x 104 = 1.1 x 103 x 10 x h
therefore h = 1.65 x 104/1.1 x 103 x 10 = 1.5m

Solution
A body weighing 80N stands in an elevator that is about to move. The force exerted by floor on the body as the elevator moves upward with an acceleration of 5 ms-2 is
[g = 10ms-2]
A
40 N
B
80 N
C
120 N
D
160 N
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
W = Mg
man's weight = 80N then his mass = \(\frac{80}{10}\) = 8kg
T = Mg + Ma = M( g + a) = 8(10 + 5) = 8 x 15 = 120N.

Circular Motion, Gravitation & Simple Harmonic Motion
Solution
If the distance between two suspended masses 10kg each is tripled, the gravitational force of attraction between them is reduced by
A
one half
B
one third
C
one quarter
D
one ninth
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Let the distance apart the two masses = m.
From the equation F & M1 m2/ϒ2
F1 α 10 x 10/ϒ2 = F α 100/ ϒ2
F2 α 10 X 10/(3ϒ)2 => F2 α 100/9ϒ2
therefore F2/F1 = 100/9ϒ2/100/ϒ2 = 100/9ϒ2 ϒ2/100 = 1/9
Therefore F 2 : F 1 = 1 : 9

Solution
Two force each of 10N acts on a body, one towards the north and the other towards the east.
The magnitude and the direction of the resultant force are
A
20N, 45°E
B
20N, 45°W
C
10√2N, 45°W
D
10√2N, 45°E
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
From Pythagoras,
R2 = 102 + 102
= 100 + 100
= 200
therefore R2 = √200 = √2 x 100
= 10√2, in the direction 45°E

Circular Motion, Gravitation & Simple Harmonic Motion
Solution
A particle in circular motion performs 30 oscillation in 6 seconds. Its angular velocity is
A
5 rad s-1
B
6 rad s-1
C
5π rad s-1
D
10π rad s-1
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Angular velocity w = 2π f.
But f = frequency no. of oscillations per second.
= 30/6 = 5Hz.
therefore W = 2π x 5
= 10π rad. s-1
