Heat is supplied uniformly at the rate of 100W to 1.0 x 102kg of a liquid for 20 seconds. If the temperature of the liquid rises by 5oC, then the specific heat capacity of the liquid is 

A.

2.0 x 102Jkg1K1

B.

2.0 x 102Jkg1

C.

4.0 x 104Jkg1K1

D.

4.0 x 104Jkg1

Correct answer is C

Heat energy = Electrical Energy 

MCθ = power x time 

5 x 1 x 102 x C = 100 x 20 

C = 2005×102 

= 4 x 104 J/kg/oC

The lower and upper fixed points marked on a Mercury-in-glass thermometer are 210mm apart. The end of the mercury column in the tube is 49mm above the lower fixed point in a room. What is the temperature of the room in degrees Celsius? 

A.

55.3oC

B.

23.3oC

C.

49.0oC

D.

16.43oC

Correct answer is B

4902100 = θ0100θ 

49210=θ100 

49 x 100 = 210 x θ 

θ=4900210 = 23.3o

The linear expansivity of brass is 2 x 105  oC1. If the volume of piece of brass is 10cm3 at 0oC. What will be its volume at 100oC? 

A.

10.06cm3

B.

10.04 cm3

C.

10.02 cm3

D.

10.20 cm3

Correct answer is A

3 x α = V2V1V1×Δθ

3 x 2 x 105 = V210100×10 

V2 = (100 x 10 x 3 x 2 102) + 10

= 10.06 cm3

Which of the following statements about defects of vision is/are CORRECT? 

I. For a long sighted person, close objects appear blurred

II. For a short sighted person, distant objects appear blurred 

III. Short sight is corrected by using a pair of converging lenses 

A.

I only

B.

II only

C.

I and II only

D.

II and III only

Correct answer is C

Statements I & II are correct

Statement III is incorrect because short sightedness is corrected by using suitable concave or diverging lens

Hence; option C is the correct option
