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 = \( \frac{F_1}{e_1} = \frac{F_2}{e_2} \implies \frac{50}{0.01} = \frac{F_2}{0.05} \\

\implies F_2 = \frac{50 \times 0.05}{0.01} = 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

\( \implies \) 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 \( \left(\frac{A+Dm}{2}\right) \)

Where A = refractive angle = 600, Sin\( \left(\frac{A}{2}\right) \)

\( \implies 1.4 = \frac{\text{Sin}\left(\frac{60^0 + Dm}{2}\right)}{\text{Sin}\left(\frac{60}{2}\right)} \\

= \frac{\text{Sin}\left(\frac{60 + Dm}{2}\right)}{\text{Sin}30^0} \\

= \frac{\text{Sin}\left(\frac{60 + Dm}{2}\right)}{0.5}\\

\text{Therefore} 1.4 \times 0.5 = \text{Sin}\left(\frac{60 + Dm}{2}\right) \\

\text{Therefore} \left(\frac{60 + D_m}{2}\right)= \text{Sin}^{-1} 0.7000 \\

= 44^0 12^1 \\

60^0 + D_m = 88^0 24^1 \\
D_m = 88^0 24^1 - 60^0 \\

= 28^0 24 \\
29^0 \)

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

\( \implies F/e = K \\

f1/e1=f2/e2 \\

\text{Let the original length} = t_0 \\

\text{therefore} e1 = (36 - t_0)cm ; e2 = (46 - t_0)cm \\
\text{if f1} = 40N \text{f2} = 60N \\
\text{Then } \frac{40}{36 - t_0} = \frac{60}{45 - t_0} \\
\implies 40(45 - t_0) = 60(36 - t_0) \\
\text{therefore } 1800 - 40t_0 \\

2160 - 60t_0 \\
60t_0 - 40t_0 = 2160 - 1800 \\
20t_0 = 360 \\
t_0 = 18cm \)

A.

9.0H

B.

18.0H

C.

0.5H
