- ✓
$4: 9$
- B
$9: 4$

- A
$10 m$
- ✓
$20 m$
- C
$60 m$
- D
$30 m$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $20 m$
(b) Pressure at bottom of the lake $=P_0+h \rho g$
Pressure at half the depth of a lake $=P_0+\frac{h}{2} \rho g$
According to given condition
$P_0+\frac{1}{2} h \rho g=\frac{2}{3}\left(P_0+h \rho g\right) $
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{3} P_0=\frac{1}{6} h \rho g$

Two drops of the same radius are falling through air with a steady velocity of $5\ cm$ per sec. If the two drops coalesce, the terminal velocity would be
AnswerCorrect option: C. $5 \times(4)^{1 / 3} cm$ per $sec$
If two drops of same radius $r$ coalesce then radius of new drop is given by $R$$\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3+\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \Rightarrow R^3=2 r^3\Rightarrow R=2^{1 / 3} r$
If drop of radius $r$ is falling in viscous medium then it acquire acritical velocity $(v)$ and $(v) \propto r^2$
$\frac{v_2}{v_1}=\left(\frac{R}{r}\right)^2=\left(\frac{2^{1 / 3} r}{r}\right)^2$
$\Rightarrow v_2=2^{2 / 3} \times v_1=2^{2/3}\times(5)=5\times(4)^{1/ 3} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$

A small sphere of mass $m$ is dropped from a great height. After it has fallen $100 m$, it has attained its terminal velocity and continues to fall at that speed. The work done by air friction against the sphere during the first $100 m$ of fall is
AnswerCorrect option: B. Less than the work done by air friction in the second $100 m$
(b) In the first $100 \mathrm{~m}$ body starts from rest and its velocity goes onincreasing and after $100 \mathrm{~m}$ it acquire maximum velocity (terminal velocity). Further, air friction i.e. viscous force which is proportional to velocity is low in the beginning and maximum at $v=v_T$.Hence work done against air friction in the first 100 $m$ is less than the work done in next $100 \mathrm{~m}$.

- ✓
$80 Kg$
- B

AnswerCorrect option: A. $80 Kg$
(a) Volume of log of wood $V=\frac{\text { mass }}{\text { density }}=\frac{120}{600}=0.2 \mathrm{~m}^3$

Answer(b) Let specific gravities of concrete and saw dust are $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$ respectively.
According to principle of floatation weight of whole sphere $=$ upthrust on the sphere
$\frac{4}{3} \pi\left(R^3-r^3\right) \rho_1 g+\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \rho_2 g=\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 \times 1 \times g $

- A
Quantity of water increases with depth
- B
Density of water increases with depth
- ✓
Pressure of water increases with depth
- D
Temperature of water increases with depth
AnswerCorrect option: C. Pressure of water increases with depth
(c) A torque is acting on the wall of the dam trying to make it topple. The bottom is made very broad so that the dam will be stable.

Three liquids of densities $d, 2 d$ and $3 d$ are mixed in equal proportions of weights. The relative density of the mixture is
- A
$\frac{11 d}{7}$
- ✓
$\frac{18 d}{11}$
- C
$\frac{13 d}{9}$
- D
$\frac{23 d}{18}$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $\frac{18 d}{11}$
(b)$\rho_{\text {mix }}=\frac{3 m}{V_1+V_2+V_3}=\frac{3 m}{\frac{m}{d}+\frac{m}{2 d}\frac{m}{3 d}}=\frac{3 \times 6}{11} d=\frac{18}{11} d$

Three liquids of densities $d, 2 d$ and $3 d$ are mixed in equal volumes. Then the density of the mixture is
- A
$d$
- ✓
$2 d$
- C
$3 d$
- D
$5 d$
Answer(b)$\rho_{\text {mix }}=\frac{m_1+m_2+m_3}{3 V}=\frac{V(d+2 d+3 d)}{3 V}=2 d .$

With rise in temperature, density of a given body changes according to one of the following relations
- A
$\rho=\rho_0[1+\gamma d \theta]$
- ✓
$\rho=\rho_0[1-\gamma d \theta]$
- C
$\rho=\rho_0 \gamma d \theta$
- D
$\rho=\rho_0 / \gamma d \theta$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $\rho=\rho_0[1-\gamma d \theta]$
(b) Since, with increase in temperature, volume of given body increases, while mass remains constant so that density will decrease.
$\text { i.e. } \frac{\rho}{\rho_0}=\frac{m / V}{m / V_0}=\frac{V_0}{V}=\frac{V_0}{V_0(1+r \Delta \theta)}$
$\therefore \rho=\rho_0(1-\gamma \Delta \theta)$
