Q 1 :

Consider an expanding sphere of instantaneous radius R whose total mass remains constant. The expansion is such that the instantaneous density ρ remains uniform throughout the volume. The rate of fractional change in density (1ρdρdt) is constant. The velocity v of any point on the surface of the expanding sphere is proportional to      [2017]

  • R

     

  • R3

     

  • 1R

     

  • R2/3

Given : 1ρdρdt=constant

  4πR33mddt[m43πR3]=constant

R3ddt(R-3)=constant

R3(-3R-4)dRdt=constant        |dRdt|R



Q 2 :

A glass tube of uniform internal radius (r) has a valve separating the two identical ends. Initially, the valve is in a tightly closed position.

[IMAGE 406]

End 1 has a hemispherical soap bubble of radius r. End 2 has sub-hemispherical soap bubble as shown in figure. Just after opening the valve,     [2008]

  • air from end 1 flows towards end 2. No change in the volume of the soap bubbles

     

  • air from end 1 flows towards end 2. Volume of the soap bubble at end 1 decreases

     

  • no changes occurs

     

  • air from end 2 flows towards end 1. volume of the soap bubble at end 1 increases

We know that excess pressure in a soap bubble is inversely proportional to its radius, i.e., P=4Tr

The soap bubble at end 1 has smaller radius as compared to the soap bubble at end 2 (given). Therefore excess pressure at 1 is more.

Hence, air flows from end 1 to end 2 and the volume of soap bubble at end 1 decreases.



Q 3 :

Consider a thin square plate floating on a viscous liquid in a large tank. The height h of the liquid in the tank is much less than the width of the tank. The floating plate is pulled horizontally with a constant velocity μ0. Which of the following statements is (are) true?}            [2018]

  • The resistive force of liquid on the plate is inversely proportional to h

     

  • The resistive force of liquid on the plate is independent of the area of the plate

     

  • The tangential (shear) stress on the floor of the tank increases with μ0

     

  • The tangential (shear) stress on the plate varies linearly with the viscosity η of the liquid

Q 4 :

A person in lift is holding a water jar, which has a small hole at the lower end of its side. When the lift is at rest, the water jet coming out of the hole hits the floor of the lift at a distance d of 1.2 m from the person. In the following, state of the lift's motion is given in List-I and the distance where the water jet hits the floor of the lift is given in List-II. Match the statements from List-I with those in List-II and select the correct answer using the code given below the lists.                [2014]

  List - I   List - II
P. Lift is accelerating vertically up 1. d=1.2 m
Q. Lift is accelerating vertically down with an acceleration less than the gravitational acceleration 2. d>1.2 m
R. Lift is moving vertically up with constant speed 3. d<1.2 m
S. Lift is falling freely 4. No water leaks out of the jar

 

Code:

  • P-2, Q-3, R-2, S-4

     

  • P-2, Q-3, R-1, S-4

     

  • P-1, Q-1, R-1, S-4

     

  • P-2, Q-3, R-1, S-1

Horizontal distance,

d=v×t

=2gh2×2h1g

=2h1h2

If    geff>g

      geff=g

      geff<g

In all the three cases, d=2h1h2=1.2 m

If geff=0, then no water leaks out as there will be no pressure difference.
