to move, the tension in the cable is 800 N. How much has the cable stretched? (Young's modulus for steel is 2 × 10 11 N/m 2 .)

i.e., bulk modulus of water is very large as compared to air. This means that air is about 20,000 times more compressive than water,
i.e., the average distance between air molecules is much larger than between water molecules.

5 A rod AD, consisting of three segments AB, BC and CD joined together, is hanging vertically from a fixed support at A. The
lengths of the segments are respectively 0.1 m, 0.2 m and 0.15 m. The cross - section of the rod is uniform 10 -4 m 2 . A weight of
10 kg is hung from D. Calculate the displacements of point D if Y AB = 2.5 x 10 10 N/m 2 , Y BC = 4 x 10 10 N/m 2 and Y CD = 1 x 10 10 N/m 2 .
(Neglect the weight of the rod.)

7 Two liquids which do not react chemically are placed in a bent tube a shown in the figure. The heights of the liquids above their
surface of separation are

Solution

The pressure at the interface must be same, calculated via either tube. Since, both tube are open to the atmosphere, we must have

h1 ρ1 g = h2 ρ2 g

or h1 ρ1 = h2 ρ2

 or hρ = constant

or h ∝

11 A 14.5 kg mass, fastened to one end of a steel wire of unstretched length 1 m is whirled in a vertical circle with an angular
frequency of 2 rev/s at the bottom of the circle. The cross- sectional area of the wire is 0.065 cm 2 . Calculate the elongation of
the wire when the mass is at the lowest point of its path.

Solution

         Given, mass (m) = 14.5 kg

        Length of wire (l) = 1 m

Angular frequency (v) = 2 rev/s

   Angular velocity (ω) = 2πv

                                   = 2π × 2 rad/s

                                   = 4π rad/s

​A rea of cross-section of wire (A) = 0.065 cm 2

                                                   = 6.5 × 10 -6 m 2

Young's modulus for steel (Y) = 2 × 10 11 N/m 2 .

At lowest point of the vertical circle,

             T - mg = mlω 2

or                  T = mg + mlω 2

                        = (14.5 × 9.8) + (14.5 × 1 × 4π) 2

                        = 14.5(9.8 + 16π 2 )

                        = 14.5(9.8 + 16 × 9.87)                   (∵ π 2 = 9.87)

12 A rod of length 1.05 m having negligible mass is supported at its ends by two wires of steel (wire A) and aluminium (wire B) of
equal lengths as shown in figure. The cross-sectional areas of wires A and B are 1 mm 2 and 2 mm 2  respectively. At what point
along the rod should a mass m be suspended in order to produce equal stresses.

Solution

​L et length of each wite be L and their area of cross-section be A l and A 2 respectively.

Given, A 1 = 1 mm 2 =1 x 10 -6 m 2

           A 2 = 2 mm 2 = 2 x 10 -6 m 2

       Y steel = 2 x 10 11 N-m 2

          Y Al =7.O x 10 10 N-m 2

Let F 1 and F 2 be the tensions in the two wires respectively.

Let mass m be suspended at distance x from steel wire A. Taking moment of forces about the point of suspension of mass from the
rod, we get

                F 1   x = F 2 (1.05 - x)

F1 (1.05−x)
or =                                         ...(ii)
F2 x

From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get

1 (1.05−x)
=
2 x

                     x = 2.10 - 2x

or                3x = 2.10

or                  x = 0.70 m

​∴ The mass m must be suspended at a distance 0.70 m from steel wire A.

 13 A cylindrical vessel of height 500 mm has an orifice (small hole) at its bottom. The orifice is initially closed and water is filled in
it upto height H. Now the top is completely sealed with a cap and the orifice at the bottom is opened and some water is allowed
to comes out slowly from the orifice. Eventually, the water level in the vessel becomes steady with a height of water column being
200 mm. Find the fall in height (in mm) of water level due to opening of the orifice.

[Take atmospheric pressure = 1.0 × 10 N m , density of water = 1000 kg m and g = 10 ms . Assume temperature to be constant
5 -2 -3 -2

and neglect any effect of surface tension.]

Solution

In this question, we will have to assume that temperature is constant for enclosed air above water (or pV = constant)                 (∵ Boyle's
Law)

p = p 0 - ρgh ...(i)

p 0 [A(500 - H)] = p[A(300)] ...(ii)

Solving these two equations, we get H = 206 mm .

Therefore, Level fall = (206 - 200) mm = 6 mm

Step 2. The structure of P 2 H4 is

ie , it contains 4 P − H  bonds and one  P − P bond, so P − P  bond energy can be calculated by

4 × P − H + P − P  = bond dissociation energy P 2 H4

∴ P − P bond energy = 335 −4(76)

Hence (C) is correct option.

Given relation is

2 sin θ = (r − 1) + 2

Here L. H. S ∈ [−2,  2] 

 R. H. S ∈ [2,  ∞)

⇒ This relation is true only when L. H. S = R. H. S = 2

Now L. H. S = 2

⇒ sin θ = 1

⇒ θ =

And R. H. S = 2

⇒ r

⇒ r =   ± 1

Thus, for each θ we have two values of r  ∈  R .

Hence, there will be  3 x 2 = 6 values of (r, θ) .
