DPPs BOOKLET-1 VIJETA (01JPA, 02JPA) | PHYSICS
PREFACE
This book contains the Daily Practice Problems (DPPs) designed for the aspirants
JEE(Main+Advanced). It is a collection of problems (Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics in
separate booklets) from multiple topics to understand the application of concepts learned in
theory. Each DPP is kind of a timed test with marking scheme and prescribed time to be spent
on each problem. It is according to the latest pattern of JEE(Advanced) and serves as a great
tool for the students to simulate examination conditions at home. It enables a student to
practice time management while solving a problem which helps him/her to better prepare for
the target exam.
Every effort has been taken to keep this book error free, however any suggestions to improve
are welcome at smdd@resonance.ac.in.

If the ends of a rod are rigidly clamped so as to prevent any actual expansion or contraction and then
the temperature of the rod is changed, the rod will develop tensile or compressive stress, also called
‘thermal stress’. These stresses could sometimes be adequate to cause permanent strain or could also
break the rod. Concrete highways are always left with gaps between the sections in order to provide for
the expansion or contraction of concrete. Similarly, if the temperature of an object kept under pressure
is increased but the object is not allowed to expand, the pressure will also increase. If an external force
tries to compress the rod then it develops compressive stress in it, while if external force tries to expand
the rod it develops tensile stress M it. Assuming a negative sign for a compressive stress and a positive
sign for tensile stress, answer the following questions.
14. Consider a rod rigidly clamped at its ends and not allowed to bend. As the temperature is increased :
(A) The rod develops a tensile stress
(B) The rod develops a compressive stress
(C) The rod develops a tensile stress if the material of rod has a high value of  (coefficient of linear
expansion) and a compressive stress if the material of rod has a low value of 
(D) It cannot be predicated whether the rod will develop a compressive stress of a tensile stress
15. Now consider that the rod is not fixed at the ends so that it is free to expand or contract. The rod is kept
horizontally between two rigid supports A and B. Initially, the left end of the rod is at distance x1 from
the support ‘A’ and the right end at distance x2 from the support B. Temperature of the rod is now
increased by T so that the rod expands and its length increases. Let T be large enough so that
increase in length, if the supports A and B were not there, will be more than x1 + x2. However, the
presence of rigid supports A and B will prevent any increase in length beyond x1 + x2. Stress in the rod
can be expressed as :

"If deformation is small, the stress in a body is proportional to the corresponding strain."
This fact is known as Hooke's law. Thus, if a rod is strectched by equal and opposite forces F each, a
tensile stress F/ A is produced in the rod where A is the area of cross section. The length of the rod
increases from its natural value L to L + L. Tensile strain is L/L.
By Hooke's law, for small deformations,
Tensile stress
Y
Tensile strain
is a constant for the given material. This ratio of tensile stress over tensile strain is called Young
modulus for the material. In the situation described above, the Young modulus is
F/ A FL
Y 
L / L AL
If the rod is compressed, compressive stress and compressive strain appear. Their ratio Y is same as
that for the tensile case.

COMPREHENSION :
DIMENSION
All the physical quantities of interest can be derived from the base quantities, it is written as a product
of different powers of the base quantities The exponent of a base quantity that enters into the
expression is called the dimension of the quantity in that base. For example
Force = mass × acceleration
velocity
= mass × time
Length / time
= mass × time
= mass × length × (time)–2.
Thus, the dimensions of force are 1 in mass, 1 in length and –2 in time. Above equation may be written
as [force] = MLT-2 . Such an expression for a physical quantity in terms of the base quantities is called
the dimensional formula. Thus the dimensional formula of force is MLT–2.
Principle of homogeneity : Two quantities can be added , subtracted or compared only if they have
same dimensional formula. Thus a velocity cannot be added to a force or an electric current cannot be
subtracted from the thermodynamic temperature. This simple principle is called the principle of
homogeneity of dimensions in an equation.
Conversion of Units: Dimensions can be useful in finding the conversion factor for the unit of derived
physical quantity from one system to other. Consider an example. When SI units are used, the unit of
pressure is 1 Pascal. Suppose we choose 1 cm as the unit of length, 1 g as the unit of mass and 1 s as
the unit of time (this system is still in wide use and is called CGS system). The unit of pressure will be
different in this system. Let us call it for the time being 1 CGS pressure. Now, how many CGS pressure
is equal to 1 Pascal ?
Let us first write the dimensional formula of pressure.

We have P=

Thus, [P] = = 2

so, 1 Pascal = (1 kg) (1 m)–1 (1 s)–2
and 1 CGS pressure = (1 g) (1 cm)–1 (1 s)–2
