If a force of 50N stretches a wire from 20m to 20.01m, what is the amount of force required to stretch the same material from 20m to 20.05m?

A.

250N

B.

200N

C.

100N

D.

50N

Correct answer is A

Original length = 20m
first new length = 20.01m

first increase in length = 20.01m - 20m = 0.01m

Second new length = 20.05m
second increase in length = 20.05 - 20m = 0.05m

From hooke's law = F1e1=F2e2500.01=F20.05F2=50×0.050.01=250N

A cell whose internal resistance is 0.5Ω delivers a current of 4A to an external resistor,The loss voltage of the cell is

A.

1.250V

B.

2.000V

C.

8.000V

D.

0.125V

Correct answer is B

E = V + v

where E = emf of cell.
V = terminal p.d
v = loss voltage of the cell.

But from ohm's law V=IR ; v = Iv

lost voltage = V = Ir
= 4 x 0.5
= 2.0v

Calculate the angle of minimum deviation for a ray which is refracted through an equiangular prism of refractive index 1.4

A.

600

B.

290

C.

990

D.

900

Correct answer is B

From the relation refractive index = Sin (A+Dm2)

Where A = refractive angle = 600, Sin(A2)

1.4=Sin(600+Dm2)Sin(602)=Sin(60+Dm2)Sin300=Sin(60+Dm2)0.5Therefore1.4×0.5=Sin(60+Dm2)Therefore(60+Dm2)=Sin10.7000=440121600+Dm=880241Dm=880241600=28024290

Am elastic material has a length of 36cm when a load of 40N is hung on it and a length of 45cm when a load of 60N is hung on it. The original length of the string is

A.

12cm

B.

20cm

C.

18cm

D.

15cm

Correct answer is C

For Hooke's law F = Ke

F/e=Kf1/e1=f2/e2Let the original length=t0thereforee1=(36t0)cm;e2=(46t0)cmif f1=40Nf2=60NThen 4036t0=6045t040(45t0)=60(36t0)therefore 180040t0216060t060t040t0=2160180020t0=360t0=18cm

A.

9.0H

B.

18.0H

C.

0.5H

D.

2.0H

Correct answer is A

l =l1 + l2 = 3 + 6 = 9H
