MCQ
A light unstretchable string passing over a smooth light pulley connects two blocks of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$. If the acceleration of the system is $\frac{g}{8}$, then the ratio of the masses $\frac{\mathrm{m}_2}{\mathrm{~m}_1}$ is:
  • $9: 7$
  • B
    $4: 3$
  • C
    $5: 3$
  • D
    $8: 1$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$9: 7$
a
$a_{5 y s}=\left(\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2}\right) g=\frac{g}{8}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{m_2}{m_1}=\frac{9}{7}$

A uniform metal chain is placed on a rough table such that one end of it hangs down over the edge of the table. When one third of its length hangs over the edge, the chain starts sliding. Then the coefficient of static friction is:
In Guericke's experiment to show the effect of atmospheric pressure, two copper hemispheres were tightly fitted to each other to form a hollow sphere and the air from the sphere was pumped out to create vacuum inside. If the radius of each hemisphere is $R$ and the atmospheric pressure is $p$, then the minimum force required (when the two hemispheres are pulled apart by the same force) to separate the hemispheres is
The length of a wire is $1.0\, m$ and the area of cross-section is $1.0 \times {10^{ - 2}}\,c{m^2}$. If the work done for increase in length by $0.2\, cm$ is $0.4\, joule$, then Young's modulus of the material of the wire is

A liquid drop placed on a horizontal plane has a near spherical shape (slightly flattened due to gravity). Let $R$ be the radius of its largest horizontal section. A small disturbance causes the drop to vibrate with frequency $v$ about its equilibrium shape. By dimensional analysis, the ratio $\frac{v}{\sqrt{\sigma / \rho R^3}}$ can be (Here, $\sigma$ is surface tension, $\rho$ is density, $g$ is acceleration due to gravity and $k$ is an arbitrary dimensionless constant)
