To what depth must a rubber ball be taken in deep sea so that its volume is decreased by

$0.1$ %
(Take density of sea water

${ 10 }^{ 3 }kg\quad { m }^{ -3 }$ , bulk modulus of rubber

$=9\times { 10 }^{ 8 }N{ m }^{ -2 },g=10m{ s }^{ -2 }$ )

0%
$9m$
0%
$18m$
0%
$90m$
0%
$180m$

Explanation

Let

$h$ be the depth at which the rubber ball be taken, Then

$P=h\rho g...(i)$
By definition of bulk modulus

$B=-\cfrac { P }{ \Delta V/V }$
The negative sign shows that with increase in pressure, a decrease in volume occurs.

$\quad \therefore P=B\cfrac { \Delta V }{ V }$
Using (i)

$h\rho g=B\cfrac { \Delta V }{ V } \quad or\quad h=\cfrac { B }{ \rho g } \cfrac { \Delta V }{ V }$
Substituting the given values, we get

$h=\left( \cfrac { 9\times { 10 }^{ 8 }N\quad { m }^{ -2 } }{ { 10 }^{ 3 }kg\quad { m }^{ -3 }\times { 10 }^{ }m{ s }^{ -2 } } \right) \left( \cfrac { 0.1 }{ 100 } \right) =90m$

$2.4m$ and a steel wire of length

$1.6m$ , both the diameter

$3mm$ , are connected end to end. When stretched by a load, the net elongation is found to be

$0.7mm$ . The load applied is

0%
$2.4\times { 10 }^{ 2 }N$
0%
$3.2\times { 10 }^{ 2 }N$

Explanation

Given,

$l_{copper}=2.4m$

$l_{steel}=1.6m$

$D=3mm$

$r=\dfrac{3}{2}=1.5mm$

$Y_{copper}=1.2\times 10^{11}N/m^2$

$Y_{steel}=2\times 10^{11}N/m^2$

$\Delta l=0.7mm$

Stress is same,

$\sigma_{copper}=\sigma_{steel}$

$Y_{copper}\dfrac{l_{copper}}{\Delta l_{copper}}=Y_{steel}\dfrac{l_{steel}}{\Delta l_{steel}}$

$1.2\times 10^{11}\times \dfrac{2.4}{\Delta l_{copper}}=2\times 10^{11}\times \dfrac{1.6}{\Delta l_{steel}}$

$\dfrac{\Delta l_{copper}}{\Delta l_{steel}}=2.5$

$\Delta l_{copper}=2.5\Delta l_{steel}$ . . . . . . . (1)

$\Delta l=\Delta l_{copper}+\Delta l_{steel}$

$0.7\times 10^{-3}=2.5\Delta l_{steel}+\Delta l_{steel}$

$\Delta l_{steel}=\dfrac{0.7\times 10^{-3}}{3.5}=0.2mm$

$\Delta l_{copper}=2.5\times 0.2mm=0.5mm$

$Y_{copper}=\dfrac{F/A}{\dfrac{\Delta l_{copper}}{l_{copper}}}$

$\dfrac{F}{A}=Y_{copper}\dfrac{\Delta l_{copper}}{l_{copper}}$

$\dfrac{F}{A}=1.2\times 10^{11}\times \dfrac{0.5\times 10^{-3}}{2.4}$

$F=\pi r^2\times 0.25\times 10^{8}$

$F=3.14\times 1.5\times 1.5\times 10^{-6}\times 0.25\times 10^8$

$F=1.8\times 10^2N$

The correct option is B.

As

$B=\cfrac { P }{ \Delta V/V }$

$\therefore \Delta V=\cfrac { PV }{ B } =\cfrac { P{ L }^{ 3 } }{ B } =\cfrac { \left( 7\times { 10 }^{ 6 }Pa \right) { \left( 10\times { 10 }^{ -2 }m \right) }^{ 3 } }{ 140 } =5\times { 10 }^{ -8 }{ m }^{ 3 }=5\times { 10 }^{ -2 }{ cm }^{ 3 }$

Explanation

Given:

Length copper wire,

$L_c =2.4m$

Length steel wire,

$L_s =1.6m$

$(Y_{copper}=1.2×1011^{−2}Nm,Y_{steel}=2×1011^{−2}Nm)$

We know that,

Elongation

$\Delta L =\dfrac{FL}{YA}$

So,

$\cfrac { \Delta { L }_{ S } }{ \Delta { L }_{ C } } =\cfrac { { L }_{ S } }{ { L }_{ C } } \times \cfrac { { Y }_{ C } }{ { Y }_{ S } }$

Substitution the given values, we get

$\cfrac { { { \Delta L }_{ S } } }{ { \Delta L }_{ C } } =\cfrac { 1.6m }{ 2.4m } \times \cfrac { 1.2\times { 10 }^{ 11 }N\quad { m }^{ -2 } }{ 2\times { 10 }^{ 11 }N\quad { m }^{ -2 } } =\cfrac { 2 }{ 5 }$

0%
$\frac{1}{l}\left [ \frac{WA}{Y} \right ]^{1/3}$
0%
$l\left [ \frac{W}{YA} \right ]^{1/3}$

Explanation

Sln :
We know Y =

$\dfrac{stress}{strain} \,= \,\dfrac{Wl}{2Ax} \, \times \, \dfrac{2l^2}{x^2}$

$Y \, = \, \dfrac{Wl^3}{Ax^3} \, or \, x \, = \, \left(\dfrac{W}{AY} \right )^{1/3} \, \times \, 1$

A metal wire of length

$L_1$ and area of cross section A is attached to a rigid support. Another metal wire of length

$L_2$ and of the same cross-sectional area is attached to the free end of the first wire. A body of mass M is then suspended from the free end of the second wire. If

$Y_1$ and

$Y_2$ are the Young's moduli of the wires respectively, the effective force constant of the system of two wires is

0%
$\frac{Y_1Y_2A}{2(Y_1L_2+Y_2L_1)}$
0%
$\frac{Y_1Y_2A}{2(L_1L_2)^{1/2}}$
0%
$\frac{Y_1Y_2A}{(Y_1L_2+Y_2L_1)}$
0%
$\frac{(Y_1Y_2)^{1/2}A}{2(L_1L_2)^{1/2}}$

Explanation

The wires are connected in series

$Y=\dfrac{F l}{A\Delta l}\Rightarrow \dfrac{YA}{l}=\dfrac{F}{\Delta l}\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{YA}{l}$

$K$ is spring constant

In series spring constants are added as

$\dfrac{1}{K_{1}}+\dfrac{1}{K_{2}}=\dfrac{1}{K}\Rightarrow \dfrac{l_{1}}{Y_{1}A}+\dfrac{l_{2}}{Y_2 A}=\dfrac{1}{K}$

$\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{Y_{1}Y_{2}A}{Y_{1}L_{2}+Y_{2}L_{1}}$

The maximum load a wire can withstand without breaking, when its length is reduced to half of its original length, will

0%
be double
0%
be half
0%
be four times
0%
remains same

Explanation

Hint:

Stress if given as,

$\sigma = \dfrac{F}{a}$

Correct Option is D.

Explanation for the correct answer:

$\bullet$ If Breaking force for any wire of area of cross section

$A$ is

$F_b$ , then by formula of stress, breaking stress is given as,

$\sigma_b = \dfrac{F_b}{A}$

$F_b = \sigma_b A$

$\bullet$ Thus, breaking force for any wire depends on its breaking stress and area of cross section. It is independent of the length of the wire.

$\bullet$ Thus, maximum load a wore can withstand without breaking when its length is reduced to half of its original length will remain the same.

Option D is correct.

A steel bar

$ABCD$

$40cm$ long is made up of three parts

$AB, BC$ and

$CD$ , as shown in the figure The rod is subjected to a pull of

$25kN$ . The total extension of the rod is (Young's modulus for steel

$0.0637mm$
0%
$0.0647mm$
0%
$0.0657mm$
0%
$0.0667mm$

Explanation

The axial force

$25kN$ is transmitted to each of the three bars.

Stress in part AB is

$\cfrac { 25000N }{ \cfrac { \pi }{ 4 } { (50) }^{ 2 }{ mm }^{ 2 } } =\cfrac { 40 }{ \pi } =12.73N/{ mm }^{ 2 }$

Stress in oart BC

$=\cfrac { 25000 }{ \cfrac { \pi }{ 4 } { (25) }^{ 2 } } =50.93N/{ mm }^{ 2 }$

Stress in part CD

$\quad =12.73N/{ mm }^{ 2 }$
Therefore, total extension of the rod

$=$ extension in the parts

$AB+BC+CA$

$\Delta L =\Delta L_1 +2\times \Delta L_2$ (extension in AB=CD)

$\Delta L=\dfrac{Stress \times length}{Y}$

$\Delta L =\dfrac{\sigma \times L}{Y}$

$=\left( \cfrac { 12.73N/{ mm }^{ 2 } }{ 2\times { 10 }^{ 5 }N/{ mm }^{ 2 } } \times 100mm \right) \times 2+\cfrac { 50.93N/{ mm }^{ 2 } }{ 2\times { 10 }^{ 5 }N/{ mm }^{ 2 } } \times 200mm=\cfrac { 12732 }{ 2\times { 10 }^{ 5 }N/{ mm }^{ 2 } } mm=0.0637mm$

$\Delta L=0.0637mm$

Let

$\gamma$ be the coefficient of volume expansion with the change in temperature

$\Delta T$ .
Change in volume is

$\Delta V=\gamma V\Delta T\quad or\quad \dfrac { \Delta V }{ V } =\gamma \Delta T$
Thermal stress in tooth cavity

$=\beta \times volumetric \ strain=\beta \gamma \Delta T$

$=\beta \times 3\alpha \Delta T$

$\left( \because \gamma =3\alpha \right)$

$=140\times { 10 }^{ 9 }\times 3\times 1.7\times { 10 }^{ -5 }\times \left( 57-37 \right)$

$L=1m$

Area of crossection,

$A= 10^{−6}m$

From above graph at load

$20N$ extention

$\Delta L=1\times 10^{-4}m^2$

$Y=\dfrac{F \times l}{\Delta A \times \Delta l}$

putting values in above equation

$Y= \dfrac{20}{10^{-6} \times 10^{-4}}$

$Y= 2 \times 10^{11}$

Y=F/AΔl/l=FAlΔl

0%
n times
0%
2n times
0%
(2n + 1) times

Explanation

Consider the expression for Young’s modulus.

$Y=\dfrac{FL}{A\Delta L}$

$\Delta L=\dfrac{FL}{AY}$

Where A is the area, F is the applied force, $\Delta L$ is the increase in length.

So,

$\Delta L=\dfrac{FL}{\pi {{r}^{2}}Y}$

$\Delta L\propto \dfrac{1}{{{r}^{2}}}$

$\dfrac{{{l}_{2}}}{{{l}_{1}}}={{\left( \dfrac{{{r}_{1}}}{{{r}_{2}}} \right)}^{2}}$

$={{\left( \dfrac{{{d}_{1}}/2}{{{d}_{2}}/2} \right)}^{2}}$

$={{(n)}^{2}}$

${{l}_{2}}=n^2\,{{l}_{1}}$

Explanation

Sln :

$Y \, = \, \dfrac{Fla}{\Delta lll} \, = \, \dfrac{Fl}{a \Delta l} \, or \, \Delta l \, \, or \, \dfrac{1}{D^2}$

$\dfrac{100}{l^2} \, = \, 100$

$\dfrac{200}{4} \, = \, 50$

$\dfrac{300}{9} \, = \, 33.33$

$\dfrac{50}{(1/2)^2} \, = \, 200$

0%
$\, \dfrac{\rho gh}{3B}$
0%
$\, \dfrac{\rho gh}{2B}$
0%
$\dfrac{\rho gh}{5B}$

Explanation

$\dfrac{\delta V}{V} \, = \, -\dfrac{P}{B}$
Where

$P \, = \, \rho gh$
Then

$-\dfrac{\delta V}{V}\, = \, \dfrac{\rho gh}{B}$
Since, the volume of the sphere is V =

$\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}$ , we have

$\dfrac{\delta V}{V}\, = \, \dfrac{3\delta r}{r}$
Using Eqs, (i) and (ii), we have

$\dfrac{\delta r}{r}\, = \, \dfrac{\rho gh}{3B}$

A wire is stretched 1 mm by a force of 1 kN. How far would a wire of the same material and length but of four times that diameter he stretched by the same force?

$\dfrac{1}{2}$ mm
0%
$\dfrac{1}{4}$ mm
0%
$\dfrac{1}{8}$ mm
0%

Explanation

$Y \, = \, \dfrac{Fl}{a\Delta l}$
Y, l and F are constants.

$\therefore \, \Delta l \, \, or \, \dfrac{1}{D^2}$

$\dfrac{\Delta l_2}{\Delta l_1} \, = \, \dfrac{d_1^2}{D_2^2} \, = \, \dfrac{1}{16}$

$\therefore \, \Delta l_2 \, = \, \dfrac{1}{16} \, mm$

Explanation

We know that

$Y=\dfrac{F/A}{\delta L/L}=\dfrac{FL}{A \delta L}$

Extension = L+0.2L=1.2 L. Substituting, we get,

Explanation

$\begin{array}{l}\text { According to the question, } \\\text { length of cord }=10 \mathrm{~m} \\\text { Density of rubber }=1500\mathrm{~kg}/ \mathrm{m}^{3} \\\text { young's Modulus }=5 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^{2}\end{array}$

$Stress = Weight/area = mg/A = (\rho A g)/A=\rho g$ and

$strain=\delta L/L \implies$ change in length =

$\rho g L/Y$
Also the length to be considered here is from the centre of gravity to the point of suspension, since the entire mass is assumed to be concentrated at the centre

Substituting the values, we get, extension =

$P_1=1.01\times 10^{5}\, Pa$ to

$P_2=1.165\times 10^5\,Pa$ , then the volume changes by

$10$ %. The bulk modulus is

0%
$1.55\times10^5 \,Pa$
0%
$1.05\times10^5 \,Pa$
0%
$1.4\times10^5 \,Pa$
0%
$0.115\times10^5 \,Pa$

Explanation

Bulk Modulus,

$B=\dfrac{\triangle P}{\triangle V/ V}$

$\dfrac{\triangle V}{V}\times 100$ %

$=10$ %

$\dfrac{\triangle V}{V}=\dfrac{10}{100}=\dfrac{1}{10}$

$\triangle P=(1.165-1.01)\times10^5\,Pa$

$=0.155\times10^5 \,Pa$

$B=\dfrac{0.155\times 10^5}{1/10}\,Pa$

$=1.55\times 10^5\,Pa$

A student measures the poisson's ratio to be greater than 1 in an experiment. The meaning of this statement would be

0%
An increase in length would also result in decrease in area of cross section of the wire
0%
An increase in length would also result in increase in area of cross section of the wire
0%
An decrease in length would also result in decrease in area of cross section of the wire
0%
An increase in length will not change the area of cross section of the wire

The theoretical limits of poisson's ratio lies between -1 to 0.5 because

0%
Shear modulus and bulk's modulus should be positive
0%
Bulk's modulus is negative during compression
0%
Shear modulus is negative during compression
0%
Young's modulus should be always positive

Explanation

Let Y, K, n and

$\sigma$ be the Young's Modulus, Bulk modulus, Modulus of Rigidity and Poisson's Ratio, respectively.
Y = 3K (1 - 2

$\sigma$ ) [Standard formula]
Y = 2n (1 +

$\sigma$ ) [Standard formula]
Hence, 3K (1 - 2

$\sigma$ ) = 2n (1 +

$\sigma$ )
Now K and n are always positive, so
i) If

$\sigma$ be +ve, then RHS is always +ve. So LHS must also be +ve. Therefore, 2

$\sigma$ < 1 or

$\sigma$ <1/2
ii) If

$\sigma$ be -ve, then LHS will always be +ve. Therefore, 1+

$\sigma$ > 0 or

$\sigma$ > -1
Thus the limiting values of Poisson's ratio are -1 <

$\sigma$ < 1/2

The correct option is (a)

$1$ m long metal wire of cross sectional area

$10^{-6}m^2$ is fixed at one end from a rigid support and a weight W is hanging at its other end. The graph shows the observed extension of length

A uniform wire (Young's modulus

$2\times 10^{11}Nm^{-2}$ ) is subjected to longitudinal tensile stress of

$5\times 10^7\ Nm^{-2}$ . If the overall volume change in the wire is

$0.02\%$ , the frictional decrease in the radius of the wire is close to

0%
$1.0 \times 10^{-4}$
0%
$1.5 \times 10^{-4}$
0%
$0.25 \times 10^{-4}$
0%
$5 \times 10^{-4}$

Explanation

$\dfrac{\triangle V}{V}=\dfrac{\triangle l}{l}+ \dfrac{2\triangle r}{r}, \dfrac{\triangle l}{l}= \dfrac{stress}{Y} = 2.5 \times 10^{-4}$

The ratio of the coefficient of volume expansion of glass container to that of a viscous liquid kept inside the container is

$1:4$ . What fraction of the inner volume of the container should the liquid occupy so that the volume of the remaining vacant space will be same at all the temperature?

0%
$2/5$
0%
$1/4$
0%
$1/64$
0%
$1/8$

Explanation

We know that,

When there is no change in liquid level in vessel then,

$\gamma _{real}^{'}=\gamma _{vessel}^{'}$

Change in volume in liquid relative to vessel

$\Delta {{V}_{app}}=V\gamma _{app}^{'}\Delta \theta$

$\Delta {{V}_{app}}=V\left( \gamma _{real}^{'}-\gamma _{vessel}^{'} \right)$

Hence, the fraction is $1:4$

A rubber ball is taken to depth

$1$ km inside water so that its volume reduces by

$0.05\%$ .What is the bulk modulus of the rubber:

0%
$2 \times 10^{10} N/m^2$
0%
$2 \times {10^{9\,}}\,N/{m^2}$
0%
$2 \times 10^{7}N/m^2$
0%
$2 \times {10^{11\,}}\,N/{m^2}$

Explanation

Pressure at

$1\ km$ depth inside water,

$P=1000\times 10\times 1000=10^7\ Nm^{_2}$

say, V=volume of ball

$\dfrac{0.05}{100}\times V$ = Reduction in volume (i.e)

$\Delta V$

Bulk Modulus,

$\beta=\dfrac{-PV}{\Delta V}=\dfrac{-10^7\times V}{\dfrac{-0.05V}{100}}$

$=2\times 10^{10}\ Nm^{-2}$

Hence Option

$\textbf A$ is correct.

The proportional limit of steel is

$8\times { 10 }^{ 8 }N/{ m }^{ 2 }$ and its Young's modulus is

$2\times { 10 }^{ 11 }N/{ m }^{ 2 }$ . The maximum elongation, a one metre long steel wire can be given without exceeding the proportional limit is

0%
2 mm
0%
4 mm
0%
1 mm
0%
8 mm

Explanation

The correct option is B

Given,

Proportional limits of steel are

$8\times10^8N/m^2$

Young's modulus is

$2\times10^{11}N/m^2$

So, Stress up to which stress and strain are proportional.

$\dfrac{stress}{strain}=\dfrac{8\times10^8}{strain}$

Since

$strain = \dfrac{stress}{modulus}$

$\Rightarrow strain=\dfrac{4\times10^8}{2\times10^{11}}$

$=4\times10^{-3}$

Thus,

$\dfrac{\Delta L}{L}=4\times10^{-3}$ Where

$\Delta L$ is stress

But,

$L=1m$

So,

$\Delta L=4\times10^{-3}m$

$=4mm$

Overall changes in volume and radii of a uniform cylindrical steel sire are

$0.2\%$ and

$0.002\%$ respectively when subjected to some suitable force. Longitudinal tensile stress acting on the wire is :-

0%
$3.2\times 10^{9}\ Nm^{-2}$
0%
$3.2\times 10^{7}\ Nm^{-2}$
0%
$3.6\times 10^{9}\ Nm^{-2}$
0%
$3.9\times 10^{8}\ Nm^{-2}$
