  1. $\displaystyle 6.23{ kg }/{ { m }^{ 3 } }$

  2. $\displaystyle 0.623{ g }/{ { cm }^{ 3 } }$

  3. $\displaystyle 0.0623{ g }/{ { cm }^{ 3 } }$

  4. $\displaystyle 62300{ kg }/{ { m }^{ 3 } }$

C Correct answer
Explanation

Density is defined as the mass per unit volume of a substance. Density = mass (kg or g)/volume ($\displaystyle { { m }^{ 3 } }or\quad { { cm }^{ 3 } }$). In MKS system i.e. the SI system the unit of density is ${ kg }/{ { m }^{ 3 } }$ and in CGS system it is ${ g }/{ { cm }^{ 3 } }$. To convert MKS unit to CGS unit the number must be divided by 1000. Therefore, ${ 62.3 }/{ 1000 }=0.0623{ g }/{ { cm }^{ 3 } }$

A liquid column of height $80\ cm$ at $0^{\circ}$ balances the same liquid of height $80.4\ cm$ at $100^{\circ}C. \gamma _{R}$ is

  1. $4\times 10^{-5}/ ^{\circ}C$

  2. $3\times 10^{-5}/ ^{\circ}C$

  3. $5\times 10^{-5}/ ^{\circ}C$

  4. $6\times 10^{-5}/ ^{\circ}C$

C Correct answer
Explanation

The coefficient of real expansion gamma_R = (V2 - V1) / (V1 * deltaT). Using the height change as a proxy for volume change: gamma_R = (80.4 - 80) / (80 * 100) = 0.4 / 8000 = 0.00005 = 5e-5 per degree Celsius.

If specific gravity of the plank is 0.5. then angle $\theta $ which plank make with horizontal its equilibrium is :

  1. $\dfrac { \pi }{ 4 } $

  2. $\dfrac { 2\pi }{ 3 } $

  3. $\dfrac { \pi }{ 6 } $

  4. $\dfrac { \pi }{ 3 } $

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The equilibrium of a floating plank depends on the balance of buoyancy and gravity. For a plank of specific gravity 0.5, the angle theta with the horizontal is determined by the geometry of the submerged portion. The correct angle is pi/6.

A block of solid insoluble in water weighs 24 gm in air and 21 gm when completely immersed in water. Its weight when completely immersed in liquid of specific gravity 1.1 is

  1. $20.7 gm$

  2. $27.3 gm$

  3. $24 gm$

  4. $3.3 gm$

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The loss in weight in water is 24 - 21 = 3 gm, which is the buoyant force. Since the volume is constant, the buoyant force in another liquid is proportional to its specific gravity. Thus, the loss in the new liquid is 3 * 1.1 = 3.3 gm, and the new weight is 24 - 3.3 = 20.7 gm.

Two infinite linear charges are placed parallel to each other at a distance 0.1 m from each other. if the linear charge density on each is 5 $ 5 \mu \ C /m $ , then the force acting on a unit length of each linear charge will be

  1. 2.5 N/m

  2. 3.25 N/m

  3. 4.5 N/m

  4. 7.5 N/m

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The force per unit length between two infinite parallel wires is F/L = (mu_0 * lambda_1 * lambda_2) / (2 * pi * d). Using mu_0 = 4 * pi * 10^-7, lambda = 5 * 10^-6 C/m, and d = 0.1 m, the calculation yields 4.5 N/m.

A $10cm$ long needle can just rest on the surface of water without wetting, its weight is :

  1. $0.014N$

  2. $0.14N$

  3. $1.4N$

  4. $14N$

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Surface Tension of Water $(T) = 0.00072 N/cm $


Here, Weight = Surface tension force = $2Tl$

$\Rightarrow Weight = 2 \times 0.00072 \times 10 = 0.014N$

Therefore, A is correct option.

A smooth rubber ball and a tennis ball some size are placed into two separated containers with the same amount of water in them. 
The ball will move more easily when both of them are spun at the same time?

  1. Smooth rubber ball

  2. Tennis ball

  3. Both will move more easily

  4. They do not move at all

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

A smooth rubber ball has less surface friction than a tennis ball, which has a fuzzy texture. When spun in water, the tennis ball experiences more drag due to its surface texture, making the smooth ball move more easily.

As the pressure increases, density will

  1. remain same

  2. decrease

  3. increase

  4. may increase

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

If pressure increases, density generally increases in response. The pressure reduces the volume taken up while the mass remains the same. That follows from the definition of density as mass per unit volume. This effect varies greatly between materials however, gases compress readily, such that density increases nearly in proportion to pressure, liquids and solids much less so.

The density of aluminium is 2.7 $ \displaystyle g/cm^{3} $. Its density in $ \displaystyle kg/m^{3} $ will be :

  1. 27 $ \displaystyle kg/m^{3} $

  2. 2700 $ \displaystyle kg/m^{3} $

  3. 270 $ \displaystyle kg/m^{3} $

  4. 27000 $ \displaystyle kg/m^{3} $

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

density of aluminium = $2.7g/{ cm }^{ 3 }$

                                    = $\dfrac { 2.7\times { 10 }^{ -3 }kg }{ { 10 }^{ -6 }{ m }^{ 3 } } $
density of aluminium = $2700kg/{ m }^{ 3 }$
