Its normal reaction ‘ R’ can be resolved into 2 component R cos0 vertically upwards and R sinq towards the center of the curve. R sin0 gives necessary centripetal force while R cos0 balances the weight ‘mg’.

The direction of the frictional force Fs is such that the force resists the tendency of the car to skid to the outside of the curve. The horizontal component Fs cos0 is added to R sinq to provide a large centripetal force.

c. Satellite in a circular orbit of radius about 36,000 km around the earth in the equatorial plane with T = 24 hours is called geostationary satellites. They are mainly used for communication purpose, TV and Radio broadcasting and Weather forecasting.
Polar satellites are low altitude satellites that go around the poles of the earth in a north-south direction. Its time period is around 100 minutes and so it crosses any altitude many times a day. Its height above the earth is about 500800 km. In formation gathered from such satellites is extremely useful for remote sensing, meteorology as well as for environmental studies of the earth.

Answer 23.
a. Mercury barometer.
b. Pascal law. It states that an increase in pressure at one point of the enclosed liquid at rest is transmitted equally to every part of the liquid and to the wall of the container provided the effect of gravity is neglected.

In a hydraulic lift, two pistons are separated by the space filled with a liquid. A piston of small cross section A1 is used to exert a force F1 directly on the liquid. The pressure is P = \(\frac { { F }_{ 1 } }{ { A }_{ 1 } }\) is transmitted throughout the liquid to the larger cylinder attached with a larger piston of area A2, which results in an upward force of P x A2. Therefore, the piston is capable of supporting a large force (large weight of, say a car, or a truck, placed on the platform) F2 = PA2 = \(\frac { { F }_{ 1 }{ A }_{ 1 } }{ { A }_{ 1 } }\) By changing the force at A1, the platform can be moved up or down. Thus, the applied force has been increased by a factor of \(\frac { { A }_{ 2 } }{ { A }_{ 1 } }\) and this factor is the mechanical advantage of the device. The example below clarifies it.

Carnot engine is an ideal heat engine. Main parts of Carnot engine are a source, working substance is an ideal gas which taken in a cylinder provided with a piston. The 3 sides of the cylinder are an insulator and the lower side is conducting, sink and an insulated stand. Adiabatic process in a car not cycle is performed in this insulated stand.
The four stages of the cycle are:
Plus One Physics Model Question Papers Paper 1 72

1. Isothermal expansion The cylinder containing the gas is placed in thermal contact with the source kept at high temperature (T1,), It absorbs Q1 amount of heat and expands, the expansion is isothermal. The initial pressure p1 and volume V1 of the gas change to p2 and V2. Thus the gas does a work WAB

2. Adiabatic expansion (BC) The gas is placed on an insulating stand. Now no heat enters or leaves the system, the expansion is adiabatic. Pressure and volume change from p2 and p3 and V2 to V3. During the process, temperature falls to T2. Work done by the gas is WBC.

3. Isothermal compression (CD) The cylinder is then placed on the sink at temperature T2. Gas is compressed to reject some heat Q2 to the sink. Since temperature T2 remains constant, the compression is isothermal. Pressure and volume changes to p4 and v4 work done on the gas is WCD.

4. Adiabatic compression. The cylinder is again placed on the insulating stand for the completion of the compression process. Since no heat transfers or leaves the system, the compression is adiabatic. The gas attains the original pressure p1 and volume v1 at the end of this. Work done now is WDA.
