MCQ
Given below are two statements :

Statement $I$ : The contact angle between a solid and a liquid is a property of the material of the solid and liquid as well.

Statement $II$ : The rise of a liquid in a capillary tube does not depend on the inner radius of the tube.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  • A
    Both Statement $I$and Statement $II$ are false
  • B
    Statement $I$ is false but Statement $II$ is true.
  • Statement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false.
  • D
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are true.

Answer

Correct option: C.
Statement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false.
c
Statement $I$ is correct as we know contact angle depends on cohesine and adhesive forces.

Statement $II$ is incorrect because height of liquid is given by $h==\frac{2 T \cos \theta_C}{\rho g r}$ where $r$ is radius of

Tube (assuming length of capillary is sufficient) Hence option $(3)$ is correct.

A rod of weight $W$ is supported by two parallel knife edges $A$ and $B$ and is in equilibrium in a horizontal position. The knives are at a distance $d$ from each other. The centre of mass of the rod is at distance $x$ from $A.$ The normal reaction on $A$ is
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.

Assertion $A$ : Body $'P'$ having mass $M$ moving with speed $'u'$ has head-on collision elastically with another body $'Q'$ having mass $'m'$ initially at rest. If $m< < M,$ body $'Q'$ will have a maximum speed equal to $'2u'$ after collision.

Reason $R$ : During elastic collision, the momentum and kinetic energy are both conserved.

$Assertion$ : For the planets orbiting around the sun, angular speed, linear speed and $K.E.$ changes with time, but angular momentum remains constant.
$Reason$ : No torque is acting on the rotating planet. So its angular momentum is constant.
