MCQ
A ball rises to surface at a constant velocity in a liquid whose density is $4$ times greater than that of the material of the ball. The ratio of the force of friction acting on the rising ball and its weight is
  • $3 : 1$
  • B
    $4 : 1$
  • C
    $1 : 3$
  • D
    $1 : 4$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$3 : 1$
a
$\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{B}}=\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{v}}+\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{G}}$

$\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{v}}=3 \rho \mathrm{vg}$

$\frac{\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{v}}}{\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{G}}}=\frac{3 \mathrm{pvg}}{\rho \mathrm{vg}}$

A steel wire of diameter $0.5 mm$ and Young's modulus $2 \times 10^{11} N m ^{-2}$ carries a load of mass $M$. The length of the wire with the load is $1.0 m$. A vernier scale with $10$ divisions is attached to the end of this wire. Next to the steel wire is a reference wire to which a main scale, of least count $1.0 mm$, is attached. The $10$ divisions of the vernier scale correspond to $9$ divisions of the main scale. Initially, the zero of vernier scale coincides with the zero of main scale. If the load on the steel wire is increased by $1.2 kg$, the vernier scale division which coincides with a main scale division is. . . . Take $g =10 m s ^{-2}$ and $\pi=3.2$.
