  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    A boat capable of a speed v in still water wants to cross a river of width d. The speed of the water current increases linearly from zero at either bank to a maximum of u at the middle of the river. When the boat is rowed at right angles to the bank, its downstream drift is
    Solution

    Let us choose a coordinate system with its origin as the starting point of the boat, the + x-axis points downstream and + y-axis points at right angles to the bank of the river.

    x-motion of the boat is due to the water current velocity vcurrent while the y-motion is caused solely by the velocity v of the boat.

    The above two motions are independent of each other and can be treated separately.

    Assuming that the boat starts at time t = 0, the y coordinate after a time t is y = vt ... (i)

    The speed of water current is a function of y and is given by

    vcurrent=2uydfory<d2.......(ii)

    Substituting for y from equation (i)

    Vcurrent=2u(vt)d

    ordxdt=2uvtd............(iii)

    Let the downstream drift of the boat across the river be D.

    By symmetry, its value at the middle of the river is D2.

    The time required to reach the middle of the river is t=d2v=d2v

    Separating the variables in equation (iii) and integrating

    0D2dx=2uvd0d2ytdt

    D2=2uvd(d2v)22=ud4v

    Hence option D is correct.

  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    The escape velocity for an atmospheric particle 2000 km above the earth’s surface is (Radius of the earth = 6.4 × 106 m and g = 10 ms− 2 )
    Solution
    Escape velocity \(v_{e}=\sqrt{2 g R}\)
    At a height h above the Earth,s surface, \(v_{e}=\sqrt{2 g_{h}(R+h)}\) and
    \(g_{h}=\frac{g R^{2}}{(R+h)^{2}}\)
    \(\therefore v_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2 g R^{2}}{(R+h)^{2}}(R+h)}\)
    \(=\sqrt{\frac{2 g R^{2}}{(R+h)}}\)
    \(=\sqrt{\frac{2 \times 10 \times\left(6.4 \times 10^{6}\right)^{2}}{(6.4+2) 10^{6}}}\)
    \(=\sqrt{\frac{2 \times 10 \times 6.4^{2} \times 10^{12}}{8.4 \times 10^{6}}}\)
    \(=\sqrt{\frac{20 \times 40.96}{8.4}}=9.88 km / s\)
    Hence option C is correct.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Four identical hollow cylindrical columns of steel, support a big structure of mass 60,000 kg. The inner and outer radii of each column are 40 cm and 50 cm respectively. When the load distribution is uniform, the compressional strain on each column is (Young’s modulus of steel is 2 × 1011 Pa)
    Solution
    Total mass supported by the columns \(=60,000 kg\)
    Total weight supported \(=60,000 \times 10 N\)
    Compressional force on each column, \(F=\frac{60.000 \times 10}{4}=1,50,000 N\)
    Cross-sectional area of each column, \(a=\pi\left(r_{2}^{2}-r_{1}^{2}\right)\) \(=\frac{22}{7}\left(0.5^{2}-0.4^{2}\right)\)
    \(=\frac{22}{7}(0.9 \times 0.1)=\frac{1.98}{7}\)
    \(a=0.283 m ^{2}\)
    Youngs modulus, \(Y=\frac{\frac{F}{a}}{\text { Compressional strain }}\)
    \(\therefore\) Compressional strain\(=\frac{F^{\prime}}{a y}\)
    \(=\frac{1,50,000}{0.283 \times 2 \times 10^{11}}\)
    \(=\frac{150 \times 10^{-5}}{566}\)
    \(=0.265 \times 10^{-5}\)
    \(=2.65 \times 10^{-6}\)
    Hence option A is correct.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Two sources of sound S1 and S2 each emitting waves of wavelength λ are kept symmetrically on either side of the centre O of a circle ABCD such that S1O = S2O = λ. When the detector is moved along the circumference of the circle, the number of maxima recorded by the detector in one revolution is
    Solution

    For the point A, the path difference is zero and for the point B, it is 2 λ. In between A and B there will be a point E where the path difference is λ.

    Hence at the points A, E and B there will be maximum sound due to S1 and S2.

    In a circular path, it will be easier to locate points like F, C, G, D and H so that the total number of maxima amounts to 8.

    Hence option D is correct.

  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    A reversible heat engine converts one fourth of heat input into work. When the temperature of the sink is reduced by 200 K, its efficiency is doubled. The temperature of the source is
    Solution
    \begin{equation}\begin{aligned}
    &\eta=\frac{T_{1}-T_{2}}{T_{1}}=\frac{1}{4} \text { and }\\
    &\frac{T_{1}-T_{2}}{T_{1}}+\frac{200}{T_{1}}=\frac{1}{2}\\
    &\text { (i.e.) } \frac{1}{4}+\frac{200}{T_{1}}=\frac{1}{2}\\
    &\Rightarrow T_{1}=400 K
    \end{aligned}\end{equation}
    Hence option A is correct.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    A long cylindrical conductor of cross-sectional area A is made of a material whose resistivity depends only on the distance r from the axis of the conductor as \(\rho=\frac{\alpha}{r^{2}}\) where \(\alpha\) is a constant. The resistance per unit length of such a conductor is
    Solution
    Let us consider a cylindrical conductor of length 1 m and radius a.
    Let the conductor be made up of a large number of thin ring shaped conductors each of length 1 m.
    Let us consider one such element of the conductor of radius r and thickness dr. The resistance of the conductor
    \begin{equation}\begin{array}{l}
    d R=\frac{P \times 1}{2 \pi r d r} \\
    \therefore \frac{1}{d R}=\frac{2 \pi \ r d r}{\frac{\alpha}{r^{2}}}=\frac{2 \pi}{\alpha} r^{3} d r
    \end{array}\end{equation}All ring shaped conductors are in parallel. Hence reciprocal of net resistance,
    \begin{equation}\begin{array}{l}
    \frac{1}{R}=\varepsilon \frac{1}{d R}=\int_{0}^{a} \frac{2 \pi}{\alpha} r^{3} d r \\
    =\frac{2 \pi}{\alpha} \int_{0}^{a} r^{3} d r \\
    \frac{1}{R}=\frac{2 \pi}{\alpha}\left[\frac{r^{4}}{4}\right]_{0}^{a}=\frac{2 \pi}{\alpha}, \frac{a^{4}}{4} \\
    \therefore R=\frac{2 \alpha}{\pi a^{4}} \\
    \text { But } A=\pi a^{2} \Rightarrow a^{2}=\frac{A}{\pi} \\
    \therefore R=\frac{2 \alpha}{\pi} \cdot \frac{1}{\left(\frac{A}{\pi}\right)^{2}}=\frac{2 \pi \alpha}{A^{2}}
    \end{array}\end{equation}
    Hence option B is correct.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    A square metal wire loop of side 20 cm and resistance 1 Ω is moved with a constant velocity v0 in a uniform magnetic field of induction B = 4 Wb/m2. The magnetic field lines are perpendicular to the plane of the loop and directed inwards. The loop is connected to a network of resistors each of value 2 Ω. The resistance of load wires AB and CD are negligible. To get a current of 2 mA in the loop, the speed of motion of the loop is
    Solution
    The network of resistors in a balanced Wheatstone's network. Hence the resistance EF is ineffective.
    The equivalent resistance \(R ^{\prime}\) of the network is \(\frac{1}{R^{\prime}}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{2}\) or \(R^{\prime}=2 \Omega\)
    The resistance of the square loop is \(1 \Omega\)
    \(\therefore\) effective resistance of the circuit \(R =2+1=3 \Omega\)
    The emf induced in the \(\operatorname{loop} e=B v_{0} \ell\)
    Current in the \(\operatorname{loop} i=\frac{e}{R}=\frac{B v_{0} \ell}{R}\)
    \(\therefore\) speed of the loop vo \(=\frac{i R}{B l}\)
    \(i =2 m A =2 \times 10^{-3} A ; I =0.2 m\)
    \(B =4 Wb / m ^{2}\)
    Speed of the loop \(v_{0}=\frac{2 \times 10^{-3} \times 3}{4 \times 0.2}=0.75 \times 10^{-2} m / s =0.75 cm / s\)
    Hence option C is correct.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    The walls of a closed cubical box of edge 50 cm are made of a material of thickness 1 mm and coefficient of thermal conductivity 4 × 10− 4 cal/s/cm/ °C. The interior of the box is maintained at 100 °C above the outside temperature by a heater placed inside the box and connected across 400 V d.c. The resistance of the heater is
    Solution
    The rate of heat transmitted through the walls of the closed cubical box, \(H=\frac{\ell}{t}\)
    \(=\frac{k A\left(\theta_{2}-\theta_{1}\right)}{d}\)
    \(=\frac{4 \times 10^{-4} \times 6 \times 50 \times 50 \times 100}{0.1}\)
    \(=6000\) cals
    To maintain constant temperature difference between outside and inside the box, this heat escaped must be produced by the electric current in the heater.
    Let R be the resistance of the coil. The heat produced per second is \(H=\frac{Q}{t}=\frac{V^{2}}{R} J u l e=\frac{V^{2}}{J R} c a l=\frac{V^{2}}{4.2 R} c a l\)
    \(\therefore \frac{V^{2}}{4.2 R}=6000\)
    \(R=\frac{400 \times 400}{4.2 \times 6000}\)
    \(R =6.35 \Omega\)
    Hence option C is correct.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    In nuclear reaction, energy released per fission is 200 MeV. When uranium 235 is used as nuclear fuel in a reactor having a power level of 1 MW, the amount of fuel needed in 30 days will be
    Solution
    Energy produced by the reactor in 1 day \(=10^{6} \times 86400 J\) Energy released per fission \(=200 \times 10^{6} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} J\)
    No. of fissions required (i.e., ) no. of \(235 U\) atoms fissioned in a month \(=\frac{10^{6} \times 86,400 \times 30}{200 \times 10^{6} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}}\)
    Mass of 235 U having the requisite no. of atoms \(=\left(\frac{235}{6.02 \times 10^{26}}\right)\)
    \(\left(\frac{10^{6} \times 86400 \times 30}{200 \times 10^{6} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}}\right)\)
    \(\left[\because\right.\)no. of atoms in \(1 kg\) of \(\left. U ^{235}=\frac{6.02 \times 10^{26}}{235}\right]\)
    \(=\frac{235 \times 864 \times 3 \times 10^{8}}{6.02 \times 3.2 \times 10^{15}}\)
    \(=32 g\)
    Hence option D is correct.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    In the given circuit, VCE = 30 V, VBB = 20 V, RB = 1 MΩ, RC = 10 kΩ. Neglecting VBE and taking β = 50, the values of IC and IE are respectively
    Solution
    \begin{equation}\begin{array}{l}
    I_{C}=\beta I_{B}=50 \times 20=1000 \mu A=1 mA \\
    I_{E}=I_{B}+I_{C} \\
    =1 mA +20 \mu A \\
    =1+0.02=1.02 mA
    \end{array}\end{equation}
    Hence option A is correct.
