[bt] = [L]
[b] = [LT-1]

a. Only force is gravitational. F = mg = 0.1 × 9.8 = 9.8 N downward j
b. Gravitational force is cancelled by normal I reaction.
∴ F2 = ma = 0.1 × 1 = 0.1 N, direction of motion of train.

In the two graphs, the slope of a graph of material A is greater than the slope of a graph of material B. So material A is more elastic than B. For material A the break-even point (D) is higher.

Momentum is greater for a heavy body.

Figure b is correct. According to an equation of continuity, the speed of liquid is larger at a smaller area. From Bernoulli’s theorem due to larger speed, the pressure will be lower at a smaller area and therefore the height of liquid column will also be at lesser height, while in Fig(a) height of liquid column at the narrow area is higher.

a. Law of conservation of energy. Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed, but it can be transformed from one form into another. Consider a body of mass’s’ placed at

b. Changing in PE after dissipation.

ii. Viscous force, F2 acting upward,
b. By strokes, formula F = 6πrηV Viscous force = Apparent weight of sphere in the solid

a. W m-1K-1
b. Boiling water contains only a specific amount of heat energy required for it to boil. However, as steam is formed from boiling water, it contains the heat energy of boiling water, along with the latent heat of vaporization.i.e., 1kg of steam at 100°C contains 22.6 × 105 J more heat than 1 kg of water at 100°C. Hence, as steam has more heat energy, it can cause more severe burns than boiling water.

b. Mean free path is an average distance between two successive collisions.

a. It is the velocity required to put the satellite into its orbit around the earth.

The centripetal force required by the satellite to stay in this orbit is

in this orbit is In equilibrium the centripetal force is given by the gravitational force

b. Let m be the mass of the particle executing SHM. Let v be the velocity at any instant,

Potential energy is the work required to take a particle against the restoring., force. Let a particle be displaced through a distance x from the mean position. Then restoring force, F = – kx, where k is the force constant. Now if we displace the particle further through a distance dx, Small work done, dw = – Fdx = kx dx Total work done from 0 to x

a. Fundamental mode (or) First harmonic: If the string is plucked in the middle and released, then it vibrates in one segment with nodes at its ends and an antinode in the middle.

This is the lowest frequency with which string vibrates.
b. Second harmonic If the string is pressed in the middle and plucked at one-fourth of its length, then the string vibrates in two segments.

Third harmonic If the striping is pressed at one-third of its length from one end and plucked at one-sixth its length, it will vibrate in three segments.

Thus a collection of all possible mode is called harmonic series and n is called harmonic number.

The area under the velocity-time graph gives the displacement of the body. Displacement, x = area OABD x = area of triangle ABC+ area of rectangle OACD.

a. To avoid skidding and damage to tires of vehicles, the outer part of a road is slightly raised than the inner part. This is known as banking of roads.

The forces on the car are:
1. The weight of the car vertically downwards.
2. Normal reaction Racing normal to the road.
3. Frictional force acting parallel to the road.
Since there is no vertical acceleration,
R cosθ = mg + F sinθ
or R cosθ – F sinθ = mg …(1)
Now for maximum speed, F = μ, R
The centripetal force is provided by horizontal components of Rand Fas shown in the figure.

a. The radius of gyration (k). It is the defined as the distance from an axis of rotation at which, if the whole mass of the body was concentrated, then its moment of inertia about that point would be the same as the moment of inertia of actual distribution of mass. l = Mk2
The radius of gyration (k) of a body is the square root of a ratio of the moment of inertia and a total mass of the body.
ie., a radius of gyration, k= $$k=\sqrt { \frac { l }{ M } }$$

b. Theorem of parallel axes: This theorem is good for any shape.

Thus it is measured as the force acting per unit length of an imaginary line drawn on the liquid surface, the direction of force being perpendicular to this line and tangential to the liquid surface.
