(1): when a liquid with a coefficient of $\gamma $ is heated in a vessel of a coefficient of linear expansion $\frac{\gamma }{3}$, the level of liquid in the vessel remains unchanged.

 (2):$\gamma _{a}=\gamma _{r}-\gamma _{g}=\gamma _{r}-3\alpha =0$

  1. Both 1 and 2 are true and 2 is the correct explanation of 1

  2. Both 1 & 2 are true but 2 is not the correct explanation of 1.

  3. 1 is true but 2 is false

  4. 1 is false but 2 is true


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Coefficient of volume expansion is thrice the coefficient of linear expansion. Hence the coefficient of expansion of both liquid and vessel is same. Hence they expand equally with rise in temperature. Therefore no rise in the level of liquid in vessel is observed.

A weight thermometer contains 52 gms of a liquid at 10$^{0}$C. When it is heated to 110$^{0}$C, 2 gm of the liquid is expelled. The coefficient of real expansion of the liquid is [$\alpha $ of glass is $9\times 10^{-6/0}C$]

  1. $27\times 10^{-6/0}C$

  2. $412\times 10^{-6/0}C$

  3. $373\times 10^{-6/0}C$

  4. 0


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$V _{expelled} = V _0(\gamma _l -\gamma _g)\Delta T$
$ \Rightarrow  2 = 52 \times ( \gamma _l -3 \times \alpha _g)\times(110-10)$
$ \Rightarrow 2 =52 \times (\gamma _l - 3 \times  9 \times 10^{-6} ) \times 100$
$ \Rightarrow \gamma _l = \frac{2}{52} \times 10^{-2} + 27 \times 10^{-6}=385 \times 10^{-6} + 27 \times 10^{-6}=412 \times 10^{-6}$

When a liquid in a glass vessel is heated, its apparent expansion is $10.30\times 10^{-4}/^o$ C. Same liquid when heated in a metallic vessel, its apparent expansion is $10.06\times 10^{-4}/^o$ C. The coefficient of linear expansion of metal is :

($\alpha   _{glass}=9\times 10^{-6}/^o$ C)

  1. $51\times 10^{-6}/^oC$

  2. $43\times 10^{-6}/^oC$

  3. $25\times 10^{-6}/^oC$

  4. $17\times 10^{-6}/^oC$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

${\gamma} _r={{\gamma} _{a1}} +{\gamma} _{glass}={{\gamma} _{a2}} +{\gamma} _{metal}$  ......(1)
where ${{\gamma} _{a1}}$ is the apparent  expansion coefficients when the the liquid is kept in the glass container and ${{\gamma} _{a2}}$is the apparent expansion coefficients when the the liquid is kept in the metal container
Given,
${{\gamma} _{a1}}=10.30 \times {10}^{-4}$
${{\gamma} _{a2}}=10.06 \times {10}^{-4}$
${\alpha} _{glass}=9 \times {10}^{-6}$
${\gamma} _{glass}=3{\alpha} _{glass}=27 \times {10}^{-6}$
${\gamma} _{metal}=3{\alpha} _{metal}$


Substituting the values in (1)
$10.30 \times {10}^{-4} + 27 \times {10}^{-6}=10.06 \times {10}^{-4} + 3{\alpha} _{metal}$
$ \Rightarrow 24 \times {10}^{-6}  + 27 \times{10}^{-6} = 3{\alpha} _{metal}$
$ \Rightarrow {\alpha} _{metal}=(\dfrac{51}{3}){10}^{-6}=17 \times {10}^{-6}$

The co-efficient of apparent expansion of a liquid in a vessel A is $18\times 10^{-4}/^oC$ and in vessel B is $21\times 10^{-4}/^oC$. The difference in the coefficients of linear expansions of A and B is :

  1. $1\times 10^{-3}/^oC$

  2. $1\times 10^{-6}/^oC$

  3. $1\times 10^{-5}/^oC$

  4. $1\times 10^{-4}/^oC$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

${\gamma} _r={\gamma} _a +{\gamma} _g={\gamma} _a +3{\alpha} _g$
${\gamma} _r={\gamma} _{a1} +3{\alpha} _1={\gamma} _{a2} +3{\alpha} _2$ for both vessels A and B
$ \therefore 18 \times 10^{-4} + 3{\alpha} _1= 21 \times 10^{-4}+ 3{\alpha} _2$
$ \therefore3( {\alpha} _1- {\alpha} _2) = 3 \times 10^{-4}$
$ \therefore {\alpha} _1- {\alpha} _2 = 1 \times 10^{-4}$/ $^{0}$C

A specific gravity bottle is filled up to the brim with mercury of 400g, at $0^{0}$C. When heated to $90^{0}$C, the mass of the mercury that overflows from the specific gravity bottle is : (Coefficient of apparent expansion of mercury in glass is $\frac{1}{6500}/^{0}C$

  1. 5.46g

  2. 6.54g

  3. 10.92g

  4. 13.08 g


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Coefficient of apparent expansion is the ratio of liquid spilled out to the liquid left in the bottle per unit degree change in temperature.

$\gamma _{a}=\dfrac{mass   spilled }{mass   left \times \Delta \theta  }$
Let the mass spilled be x.
$\gamma _{a}=\dfrac{x}{(400-x)(90)}$
$\implies x=5.46g$

The coefficient of apparent expansion of a liquid when determined using two different vessels A and B are $\gamma _{1}$ and $\gamma _{2}$ respectively. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the vessel A is $\alpha $, the coefficient of linear expansion of the vessel B is

  1. $\dfrac{\alpha \gamma _{1}\gamma _{2}}{\gamma _{1}+\gamma _{2}}$

  2. $\dfrac{\gamma _{1}-\gamma _{2}}{2\alpha }$

  3. $\dfrac{\gamma _{1}-\gamma _{2}+\alpha }{3}$

  4. $\dfrac{\gamma _{1}-\gamma _{2}}{3}+\alpha $


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$\gamma _r = \gamma _l + \gamma _g=\gamma _r + 3\alpha _g$
Given,
$\gamma _r = \gamma _1 + 3\alpha _1$ ....(1)
$\gamma _r = \gamma _2 + 3\alpha _2$ ....(2)
Equating (1) and (2),
$\gamma _1 + 3\alpha _1= \gamma _2 + 3\alpha _2$
$ \therefore \alpha _2 =\frac{ \gamma _1 - \gamma _2}{3} + \alpha _1$

The coefficient of apparent expansion of mercury in a glass vessel is $153 \times 10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$ and in a steel vessel is $144 \times 10^{-6} / ^{\circ}C$. If $\alpha$ for steel is then, that of glass is $12 \times 10^{-6} / ^{\circ}C$.then that of glass is

  3. $36 \times 10^{-6} / ^{\circ}C$.

  4. $27 \times 10^{-6} / ^{\circ}C$.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$We\quad know\quad that\quad γ _{ real }=γ _{ apparent }+γ _{ vessel }\ So,(γ _{ app }+γ _{ vessel }) _{ glass }=(γ _{ app }+γ _{ vessel }) _{ steel }\ (∴γ _{ real }\quad is\quad same\quad in\quad both\quad cases)\quad or\quad \ 153×{ 10 }^{ -6 }+(γ _{ vessel }) _{ glass }=144×{ 10 }^{ -6 }+(γ\ _ { vessel} )\ _ { steel} \ Further(\gamma \ _ { vessel })\ _ { steel} =3α=3×(12×{ 10 }^{ -6 })=36×{ 10 }^{ -6 }/∘C\ ∴153×10−6+(γ _{ vessel }) _{ glass }=144×{ 10 }^{ -6 }+36×{ 10 }^{ -6 }\ Solving\quad we\quad get\quad (γ\ _ { vessel} )\ _ { glass} =27×10−6/∘C(γ\ _ { vessel} )\ _ { glass} \quad or\\quad α=\frac{ γ _{ glass } }{ 3 }=9×10−6/∘C$

State the principle on which a hydraulic press works. 

  1. Archimedes principle

  2. Bernoulli's principle

  3. Pascals Law

  4. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

It works on the principle of Pascals law.
Pascal's law: Pressure on a confined fluid is transmitted undiminished and acts with equal force on equal areas and at 90 degrees to the container wall.
Uses of hydraulic press - Hydraulic presses are commonly used for forging, clinching, moulding, blanking, punching, deep drawing, and metal forming operations.

The principle of fluid pressure that is used in hydraulic brakes or lifts is that.

  1. pressure is the same at all levels in a fluid.

  2. increases of pressure are transmitted equally to all parts of a fluid.

  3. the pressure at a point in a fluid is due to the weight of the fluid above it.

  4. increases of pressure can only be transmitted through fluids.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Answer is B.
Hydraulics is the use of a liquid under pressure to transfer force or motion, or to increase an applied force. The pressure on a liquid is called HYDRAULIC PRESSURE. And the brakes which are operated by means of hydraulic pressure are called HYDRAULIC BRAKES. These brakes are based on the principle of Pascals law. 
The Pascal law states that 'The pressure exerted anywhere in a mass of confined liquid is transmitted undiminished in all directions throughout the liquid'.

In a hydraulic lift, used at a service station the radius of the large and small piston are in the ratio of 20 : 1. What weight placed on the small piston will be sufficient to lift a car of mass 1500 kg ? 

  1. 3.75 kg

  2. 37.5 kg

  3. 7.5 kg

  4. 75 kg


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The answer is A.

Pressure is the amount of force acting per unit area. That is, P=F/A.
where:
p is the pressure,
F is the normal force,
A is the area of the surface on contact. Let us consider A = $\pi { r }^{ 2 }$.
Therefore, $\dfrac { { F } _{ 1 } }{ { \pi { r } _{ 1 } }^{ 2 } } =\dfrac { { F } _{ 2 } }{ { \pi { r } _{ 2 } }^{ 2 } } $.


In this case, $\dfrac { 1500 }{ { 20 }^{ 2 } } =\dfrac { W }{ { 1 }^{ 2 } } ,\quad W\quad =\quad 3.75\quad kg.$
Hence, weight to be placed on the small piston sufficient to lift a car of mass 1500 kg is 3.75 kg.
