Q 1 :

A current carrying wire heats a metal rod. The wire provides a constant power P to the rod. The metal rod is enclosed in an insulated container. It is observed that the temperature (T) of the metal rod changes with time (t) as T(t)=T0(1+βt2/4)

Where β is a constant with appropriate dimensions while T0 is a constant with dimensions of temperature. The heat capacity of metal is with:               [2019]

  • 4P(T(t)-T0)β4T02

     

  • 4P(T(t)-T0)2β4T03

     

  • 4P(T(t)-T0)4β4T05

     

  • 4P(T(t)-T0)3β4T04

Power,

P=dQdt=ddt(mc)T=(H)dTdt=(H)ddt[T0(1+βt1/4)]

P=(H)T0=βt-3/44    where H=heat capacity

   (H)=4Pt3/4T0β                   (i)

But   t1/4=T(t)-T0βT0

    t3/4=[T(t)-T0]3β3T03                (ii)

From eq. (i) & (ii),

(H)=4PT0β·[T(t)-T0]3β3T03=4P[T(t)-T0]3β4T04



Q 2 :

Water is filled up to a height h in a beaker of radius R as shown in the figure. The density of water is ρ, the surface tension of water is T and the atmospheric pressure is P0. Consider a vertical section ABCD of the water column through a diameter of the beaker. The force on water on one side of this section by water on the other side of this section has magnitude                             [2007]

  • |P0πR2+Rρgh2-2RT|

     

  • |P0πR2+Rρgh2+2RT|

     

(2)

In the first part the force is created due to pressure and in the second part the force is due to surface tension T.

[IMAGE 440]

The force is [(P0+hρg2)×(2R×h)]-2RT

  Force=2P0Rh+Rρgh2-2RT



Q 3 :

A spherical body of area A and emissivity e=0.6 is kept inside a perfectly black body. Total heat radiated by the body at temperature T                          [2005]

  • 0.4AT4

     

  • 0.8AT4

     

  • 0.6AT4

     

  • 1.0AT4

     

(4)

By Stefan's law

For black body, PA=σT4

For hot bodies other than black body, PA=eσAT4

Now, when such hot body is kept inside a perfectly black body, the total thermal radiation is sum of emitted radiations (in open) and the part of incident radiations reflected from the walls of the perfectly black body. This will give black body radiations, hence the total radiation emitted by the body will be  P=1.0eσAT4.



Q 4 :

An ideal gas is initially at temperature T and volume V. Its volume is increased by ΔV due to an increase in temperature ΔT, pressure remaining constant. The quantity δ=ΔVVΔT varies with temperature as                                [2000]

(3)

For a given mass of gas at constant pressure,

           VT=Constant              V+ΔVT+ΔT=VT

or     VT+VΔT=VT+TΔV      or        VΔT=TΔV

or      1T=ΔVVΔT      or     1T=δ       or       δT=1

The equation represents a rectangular hyperbola of the form xy=c2 depicted by graph (3).



Q 5 :

A metal rod AB of length 10x has its one end A in ice at 0°C, and the other end B in water at 100°C. If a point P on the rod is maintained at 400°C, then it is found that equal amounts of water and ice evaporate and melt per unit time. The latent heat of evaporation of water is 540cal/g and latent heat of melting of ice is 80cal/g. If the point P is at a distance of λx from the ice end A, find the value of λ.

[Neglect any heat loss to the surrounding.]                                  [2009]

For heat flow from P to O

dQ1dt=Lfdm1dt=KA·400λx                .....(i)

For heat flow from P to B

dQ2dt=Lvapdm2dt=KA·30010x-λx            .....(ii)          [Given dm1dt=dm2dt]

Dividing eq. (i) by (ii) and solving we get  λ=9



Q 6 :

A container with 1 kg of water in it is kept in sunlight, which causes the water to get warmer than the surroundings. The average energy per unit time per unit area received due to the sunlight is 700Wm-2 and it is absorbed by the water over an effective area of 0.05m2. Assuming that the heat loss from the water to the surroundings is governed by Newton's law of cooling, the difference (in Co) in the temperature of water and the surroundings after a long time will be _______.

(Ignore effect of the container, and take constant for Newton's law of cooling =0.001s-1, Heat capacity of water =4200Jkg-1K-1)                     [2020]



(8.33)

Rate of loss of heat,

dQdt=σeA(T4-T04)                  ...(i)

dQAdt=eσ[(T0+ΔT)4-T04]=σeT04[(1+ΔTT0)4-1]

=eσT04[(1+4ΔTT0)-1]

dQAdt=σeT03·4ΔT                  ...(ii)

Now from eq. (i)

msdTdt=σeA(T4-T04)       [Q=msΔT]

dTdt=σeAms[(T0+ΔT)4-T04]

=σeAmsT04[(1+ΔTT0)4-1]

dTdt=σeAmsT03·4ΔT

dTdt=KΔT;           (K=4σeAT03ms Constant for Newton's law of cooling)

4σeAT03=KA(ms)

From eq. (i)

dQAdt=eσT03·4ΔT

Since, rate of loss of heat = heat received per second

700=(KA)(ms)ΔT             [K×ms=4200×10-3]

ΔT=700×AK×ms=700×5×10-210-3×4200=506=253

  ΔT=8.33



Q 7 :

A human body has a surface area of approximately 1m2. The normal body temperature is 10K above the surrounding room temperature T0. Take the room temperature to be T0=300K. For T0=300K, the value of σT04=460Wm-2  (where σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant). Which of the following options is/are correct?    [2017]

  • The amount of energy radiated by the body in 1 second is close to 60 joules

     

  • If the surrounding temperature reduces by a small amount ΔT0T0, then to maintain the same body temperature the (living) human being needs to radiate ΔW=4σT03ΔT0 more energy per unit time

     

  • Reducing the exposed surface area of the body (e.g. by curling up) allows humans to maintain the same body temperature while reducing the energy lost by radiation

     

  • If the body temperature rises significantly then the peak in the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the body would shift to longer wavelengths

     

(3)

Energy radiated by the body=σA(T4-T04)t    [For a black body e=1]

=σA[(T0+10)4-T04]t

=σAT04[(1+10T0)4-1]t

=σAT04[40T0]t=460×1×40300×1=61.33J

P=Energy radiatedtime=σAT4-σAT04

  |dPdT0|=σA(4T03)         |dP|=σA(4T03)dT0

  |ΔP|=4σAT03

Here as human body is not a black body. So option (1) and (2) are incorrect.

Energy radiated A where A is the surface area of the body. Hence option (3) is correct.
