A rectangular block 5m x 4m x 2m lies on a table with its largest surface in contact with the table. The work done to keep it so that the block rests on the smallest surface is, if its density is 600 k $m ^ { - 3 }$

  1. $352800 \mathrm { J }$

  2. zero
  3. $376000 \mathrm { J }$
  4. $24,0000 \mathrm { J }$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The volume of Rectangular block $ = 5m \times 4m \times 2m$

$ = 40\,\,{m^3}$
Mass = Volume $ \times$ Density
$\begin{array}{l} =40\, \, { m^{ 3 } }\times 600\, \, k{ m^{ -3 } } \ =24,000=2.4\times { 10^{ 4 } }\, \, hg \end{array}$
Potential energy of block when it is lying on its largest surface $= mgh$
$ = 2.4 \times {10^4} \times 9.8 \times 1\,\,joule$
Potential energy of the block when it is lying on 
$ = mgh = 2.4 \times {10^4} \times 9.8 \times 2.5$
Work done = difference in potential energy
$\begin{array}{l} =\left( { 2.4\times { { 10 }^{ 4 } }\times 9.8\times 2.5-2.4\times { { 10 }^{ 4 } }\times 9.8\times 1 } \right) joule \ =2.4\times { 10^{ 4 } }\times 9.8\times 1.5\, \, joule \ =352800\, \, joule \end{array}$

When two liquid of same volume but different densities $\rho _{1}$ and $\rho _{2}$ are mixed together, then the density of the mixture is

  1. $\dfrac {p _{1}+p _{2}}{2}$
  2. $p _{1}+p _{2}$
  3. $\dfrac {2p _{1}p _{2}}{p _{1}+p _{2}}$
  4. $2p _{1}+2p _{2}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

$Density \,\,of \,\,mixture = \dfrac{Total\,\, mass }{ Total \,\,volume}$

Let $1^{st}$ liquid have mass $M _1$, density $p _1$ and Volume $V$

and
$2^{st}$ liquid have mass $M _2$, density $p _2$ and Volume $V$
So,Density of mixture  $= \dfrac{M _1 +M _2}{2V}$$=$$\dfrac {p _1V+p _2V}{2V}$

                                 $\rho _m=\dfrac{p _1+p _2}{2}$

B Correct answer
Explanation

$p\, =\, \displaystyle \frac{m}{\pi (d^2\, /\, 4)h}$
$p\, =\, \displaystyle \frac{(50.0) gm}{3.14\, \times\, (3.09/2)^2\, \times\, (25\, \times\, 10^{-1}) cm^3}\, =\, 2.7\, gm/cm^3$

C Correct answer
Explanation

$ stress= length \times desity \times g $
$ length = \dfrac {stress}{g \times density} $
$= \dfrac { 8 \times 10^8}{10 \times 8 \times 10^3 } $


$=10km$

A tank  $5 { m }$  high is half filled with water and then is filled to the top with oil of density  $0.85 g / c m ^ { 3 } .$  The pressure at the bottom of the tank, due to these liquids is

  1. $1.85{ g }/{ cm }^{ { 2 } }$
  2. $89.25{ g }/{ cm }^{ { 2 } }$
  3. $462.5{ g }/{ cm }^{ { 2 } }$
  4. $500{ g }/{ cm }^{ { 2 } }$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
Given,

Total height of tank $=5\,m$

Density of water, $\rho _1=1\,g/cm^3$

Density of oil, $\rho _2=0.85\,g/cm^3$

We know that,

Half tank is filled with water and half tank is filled with oil.

So,  $h _1=h _2=\dfrac 52=2.5\,m=250\,cm$

Pressure at the bottom of the tank is

$P=h _1\rho _1g+h _2\rho _2g$

$P=g(250\times 1+250\times 0.85)$

$P=462.5\,g/cm^2$

Suppose that a student finds that $24 \ mL$ of a certain liquid weighs $36 \ g$. What is the density of this liquid in SI unit?

  1. $1500 \ kg m^{-3}$
  2. $1200 \ kg m^{-3}$
  3. $1550 \ kg m^{-3}$
  4. $1300 \ kg m^{-3}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Given, mass of liquid, $m=36g=36\times 10^{-3}kg$;
density of liquid, $\rho=?$
Volume of liquid, $V=24mL=24\times 10^{-3}L$
$=24\times 10^{-3}\times 10^{-3}m^3$
$=24\times 10^{-6}m^3$
Always remember, $1L=10^{-3}m^3=10^3 cm^3$,
Also, $1mL=1cm^3$(also called $1 \ cc$)
Density, $\rho=\displaystyle \frac{Mass}{Volume}=\frac{m}{V}=\frac{36\times 10^{-3}}{24\times 10^{-6}}$
$=1500kg m^{-3}$

The densities of three liquids are D, 2D and 3D. What will be the density of the resulting mixture if equal volumes of the three liquids are mixed? 

  1. 6D

  2. 1.4D

  3. 2D

  4. 3D
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

let $V$ be the volume of each liquid then the total volume of the mixture becomes $3V$. 

$\rho = \dfrac{total\ mass}{total\ volume}$

Therefore, the mass of the liquids can be written as:
$m _1=D\times V=DV$
$m _1=2D\times V=2DV$
$m _1=3D\times V=3DV$

the total mass of the liquids is
$M= DV+2DV+3DV=6DV$

Therefore, the density of the mixture is:
$\rho=\dfrac{6DV}{3V}$

$\rho = 2D$
