MCQ
A screw gauge has some zero error but its value is unknown. We have two identical rods. When the first rod is inserted in the screw, the state of the instrument is shown by diagram $(I).$ When both the rods are inserted together in series then the state is shown by the diagram $(II).$ What is the zero error of the instrument ? .......... $mm$

$1\,M.S.D. = 100\, C.S.D. = 1\, mm $ 

  • A
    $-0.16 $
  • B
    $+0.16$
  • $+0.14$
  • D
    $-0.14$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$+0.14$
c
$\ell+x=2.12$

$2 \ell+x=4.10$

$x=0.14$

Two rods, one of aluminum and the other made of steel, having initial length ${l_1}$ and ${l_2}$ are connected together to form a single rod of length ${l_1} + {l_2}$. The coefficients of linear expansion for aluminum and steel are ${\alpha _a}$ and ${\alpha _s}$ respectively. If the length of each rod increases by the same amount when their temperature are raised by ${t^o}C$, then find the ratio $\frac{{{l_1}}}{{({l_1} + {l_2})}}$

A hot air balloon is carrying some passengers, and a few sandbags of mass $1 kg$ each so that its total mass is $480 kg$. Its effective volume giving the balloon its buoyancy is $V$. The balloon is floating at an equilibrium height of $100 m$. When $N$ number of sandbags are thrown out, the balloon rises to a new equilibrium height close to $150 m$ with its volume $V$ remaining unchanged. If the variation of the density of air with height $h$ from the ground is $\rho(h)=\rho_0 e^{-\frac{h}{h_0}}$, where $\rho_0=1.25 kg m ^{-3}$ and $h _0=6000 m$, the value of $N$ is. . . . .
