A vessel contains a mixture of $7g$ of nitrogen and $8g$ of oxygen at temperature $T=300K$. If the pressure of the mixture is $1atm$, its density is 
$\left[ R=\cfrac { 25 }{ 3 } J/mol\quad K \right] $

A Correct answer
Explanation

Molar mass of mixture $=\cfrac{total mass}{total mole}$

$M=\cfrac{15}{\cfrac{4}{14}+\cfrac{8}{16}}=15\M=15\ PM=\rho RT\ \rho=\cfrac{1(15)\times10^{-3}}{(\cfrac{25}{3}300)}\ \rho=\cfrac{15}{25}=\cfrac{3}{5}=0.6kg/m^3$

The mass and volume of a body are found to be 5.00 $\pm$ 0.05 kg and 1.00 $\pm$ 0.05 $m^3$  respectively. Then the maximum possible percentage error in its density is

  1. 6%

  2. 3%

  3. 10%

  4. 5%

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

Density rho = mass / volume. The relative error in density is the sum of the relative errors in mass and volume: (delta_rho / rho) = (delta_m / m) + (delta_V / V). Here, (0.05 / 5.00) + (0.05 / 1.00) = 0.01 + 0.05 = 0.06, which is 6%.

C Correct answer
Explanation

Explanation: In MKS system i.e. the SI system the unit of density is $\displaystyle { kg }/{ { m }^{ 3 } }$ and in CGS system it is $\displaystyle { g }/{ { cm }^{ 3 } }$. Density = mass/volume = $\displaystyle 20/2.5=8{ g }/{ { cm }^{ 3 } }$ in CGS system. In MKS system density = $\displaystyle 8\times 1000=8000{ kg }/{ { m }^{ 3 } }$

A goldsmith desires to test the purity of a gold ornament suspected to the mixed with copper. The ornament weights $0.25\ kg$ in air and is observe to displace $0.015$ litre of water when immersed in it. Densities of gold and copper with respect to water are, respectively, $19.3$ and $8.9$. The approximate percentage of copper in the ornament is

  1. $5\%$

  2. $10\%$

  3. $15\%$

  4. $25\%$

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

Let volume of gold in ornament $V _1$ and that of copper $=V _2$ and density of gold $=\rho g$ and that of copper$=\rho _c$

$\Rightarrow \rho g V _1+\rho _cV-2=0.25\rightarrow (1)$
Volume of ornament $=$Volume of water displaced
$\Rightarrow V _1+V-2=0.15\times10^{-3}ms\Rightarrow V _2=(0.015\times10^{-3}-V _1)$
According to question-
$\cfrac{\rho _g}{\rho _w}=19.3$ and $\cfrac{\rho _c}{\rho _w}=8.9\ \rho _g=19.3\times10^3 kg/m^3$
$\rho _c=8.9\times10^3 kg/m^3$
Putting these value in equation $(1)$
$(19.3\times 10^{ 3 })V _{ 1 }+(1.9\times 10^{ 3 })(0.0015\times 10^{ -3 }-V _{ 1 })0.25\ [(19.3\times 10^{ 3 })-(1.9\times 10^{ 3 })]V _{ 1 }+(8.9\times 0.015)=0.25\ 10.4\times 10^{ 3 }V _{ 1 }=0.12\ V _{ 1 }=\cfrac { 0.12 }{ 10.4\times 10^{ 3 } } =0.0115\times 10^{ -3 }=1.15\times 10^{ -5 }m^{ 3 }$
$V _2=(0.015\times10^3-0.0115\times10^{-3})=0.0035\times10^{-3}\ \% \quad of\quad copper=(\cfrac{V _2}{V _1+V _2})\times100=[\cfrac{0.0035\times10^{-3}}{(0.0115+0.0035)\times10^{-3}}]\times100$
$\approx 23.34\%\ \approx 25\%$

Multiple choice physics upthrust in fluids, archimedes' principle and floatation density of a fluid density of fluid density and relative density

A liquid mixture of volume $V$ has two liquids as its ingredients with densities $\alpha  \; and\; \beta $. If the density of the mixture is $\sigma $, then the mass of the first liquid in the mixture is :

  1. $\dfrac{\alpha V[\sigma \beta +1]}{\beta [\alpha +\sigma ]}$

  2. $\dfrac{\alpha V[\sigma -\beta ]}{ [\sigma +\beta]}$

  3. $\dfrac{\alpha V[\beta-\sigma ]}{ \beta-\alpha }$

  4. $\dfrac{\alpha V[1-\sigma\alpha ]}{ \beta[\alpha-\sigma ] }$

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
Let mass of liquid with density $\alpha =M _1$
mass of liquid with density $\beta =M _2$
Total volume$=V$
Net density of mixture$=\sigma$
Total mass$=M _1+M _2$
$\Rightarrow V\sigma =M _1+M _2$
$\Rightarrow M _2=V\sigma -M _1$ ......$(1)$

$\left[\because \dfrac{Total \, Mass}{v}=\sigma\right]$

$T=\dfrac{Total \,mass}{Total \, volume}=\dfrac{M _1+M _2}{\dfrac{M _1}{\alpha}+\dfrac{M _2}{\beta}}$ .......$(2)$
sub $(1)$ in $(2)$

$\Rightarrow \sigma =\dfrac{M _1+(v\sigma -M _1)}{\dfrac{M _1}{\alpha}+\left(\dfrac{v\sigma -M _1}{\beta}\right)}$

$\Rightarrow M _1=\dfrac{\alpha V(\beta -\sigma)}{\beta -\alpha}$.

A long straight cable of length l is placed symmetrically along z-axis and has radius $a(<<l)$. the cable consists of a thin wire and co-axial conducting tube. An alternating current I(t) = ${ I } _{ 0 }\  \sin { \  (2\pi \nu t) }$flows down the central thin wire and returns along the co-axial conducting tube. The induced electric field at a distance s from the wire inside the cable is E(s, t) = ${ \mu  } _{ 0 }{ I } _{ 0 }\cos { (2\pi \nu t)\  ln \left( \dfrac { s }{ a }  \right) \hat{ k } }$. The displacement current density inside the cable is

  1. $\dfrac { 2\pi }{ { \lambda }^{ 2 } } { I } _{ 0 }ln \left( \dfrac { a }{ s } \right) \sin { (2\pi \nu t) } \hat{ k }$

  2. $\dfrac { 1 }{ { \lambda }^{ 2 } } { I } _{ 0 }ln \left( \dfrac { a }{ s } \right) \sin { (2\pi \nu t) } \hat{ k }$

  3. $\dfrac { \pi }{ { \lambda }^{ 2 } } { I } _{ 0 }ln \left( \dfrac { a }{ s } \right) \sin { (2\pi \nu t) } \hat{ l }$

  4. Zero

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

Given :  The induced electric field at a distance from wire is $E(s,t)=\mu _0I _0v\,\cos(2\pi v t)ln(\dfrac{s}{a})\hat{k}$

Displacement current density is given by :
$\vec{J} _d=\epsilon _0\dfrac{dE}{dt}$

$\Rightarrow \epsilon _0\mu _0I _0v \begin{matrix}\partial  \\partial(t)  \end{matrix}(\cos 2\pi vt)(\begin{matrix}  \dfrac{s}{a} \end{matrix})\hat{k}$

Substitute for $\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{\mu _0\epsilon _0}}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{c^2}I _0 2\pi v^2(-\sin(2\pi vt))ln(\begin{matrix}  \dfrac{s}{a} \end{matrix})\hat{k}$

$\Rightarrow (\begin{matrix} \dfrac{v} {c}\end{matrix})^2  2\pi I _0 \sin(2\pi vt))ln(\begin{matrix}  \dfrac{a}{s}\end{matrix})\hat{k}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda^2}I _0 ln (\begin{matrix} \dfrac{a}{ s} \end{matrix})\sin (2\pi vt)\hat{k}$

Option (A) is correct.
