(a) Young’s modulus of the material (Y) is given by 1
Y =Stress/Strain
=150 x 106/0.002
=150 x 106/2 x 10-3
=75 x 109 Nm-2
=75 x 1010 Nm-2
(b)Yield strength of a material is defined as the maximum stress it
can sustain. From graph, the approximate yield strength of the given
material
= 300 x 106 Nm-2 1
= 3 x 108 Nm-2 .
Q3. It is a travelling wave. 1/2 2
Direction of propagation is –ve x-direction ½

Speed v = = 20 ms-1

Q4. a) This is due to the property of surface tension. Water makes an acute 1 3
angle of contact with glass, so it rises while mercury makes an obtuse
angle of contact with glass , so it falls in a capillary tube.
b) At the feet, the height of the blood column is more as compared to
that at the brain. Hence, blood pressure in humans is greater at the feet
1
than at the brain.

 c) When a train enters a platform, a region of low pressure is created
around the train and if a person stands on the edge , he might gets 1
pulled towards the train, so it is dangerous to stand near the edge.

a)
b) The maximum value of strain for which a body (wire) shows elastic
property is called elastic limit.

If we increase the strain a little beyond A, the stress is not

linearly proportional to strain. However, the wire still remains elastic. 1
Q6. Diagram ½ 3
correct derivation 2.5

Q7. correct derivation 2 3

Correct explanation 1
OR
Ans : Correct definition : 1
For monoatomic gas, f= 3 1
For diatomic gas, f= 5 1

Q8. 1 3
1st part: At constant volume heat supplied is used in increasing the internal energy
only, as the work done would be zero.
But in the case of constant pressure, external work need to be done for allowing
expansion of gas at constant pressure. Therefore more heat is required in the latter.
2nd part : correct derivation 2

Q11. Given: 3 3
T1=270C
L1= 5.231 m
L2 = 5.243 m
α = 1.2 X 10-5 K
using L2 = L1[1+ α(T2-T1)]
Thus, T2 = 2180C
