MCQ

A student performs an experiment to determine the Young's modulus of a wire, exactly $2 \mathrm{~m}$ long, by Searle's method. In a particular reading, the student measures the extension in the length of the wire to be $0.8 \mathrm{~mm}$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.05 \mathrm{~mm}$ at a load of exactly $1.0 \mathrm{~kg}$. The student also measures the diameter of the wire to be $0.4 \mathrm{~mm}$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.01 \mathrm{~mm}$. Take $g=9.8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$ (exact). The Young's modulus obtained from the reading is

A
$(2.0 \pm 0.3) \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2$
✓
$(2.0 \pm 0.2) \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2$
C
$(2.0 \pm 0.1) \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2$
D
$(2.0 \pm 0.05) \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2$

Answer

Correct option: B.

$(2.0 \pm 0.2) \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2$

b
$Y =\frac{4 Fl }{\pi D ^2 e }$

Taking long both the sides

$\log Y =\log 4 Fl -\log \pi D ^2 e$

Now, partially differentiating,

$\frac{\Delta Y }{ Y }=-\left(\frac{2 \Delta D }{ D }+\frac{\Delta e }{ e }\right)$

$\frac{\Delta Y }{ Y }=-\left(\frac{2 \times 0.01}{0.4}+\frac{0.05}{0.8}\right)$

$\frac{\Delta Y }{ Y }=-0.1125$

$\text { Also, } Y =\frac{ Fl }{ Ae }=\frac{9.8 \times 2}{\pi(0.2)^2 \times 0.8}=194.96 \times 10^9 \approx 2 \times 10^{11}$

$\Delta Y =- Y \times\left(\frac{2 \Delta r }{ r }+\frac{\Delta e }{ e }\right)$

$\Delta Y =0.225 \times 10^{11}$

$Y =(2 \pm 0.2) \times 10^{11} Nm ^{-2}$

A vibrating string of certain length $l$ under a tension $T$ reasonates with a mode corresponding to the first overtone (third harmonic) of an air column of length $75$ $cm$ inside a tube closed at one end. The string also generates $4$ beats per second when excited along with a tuning fork of frequency $n$. Now when the tension of the string is slightly increased the number of beats reduces to $2$ per second. Assuming the velocity of sound in air to be $340$ $m/s$, the frequency $n$ of the tuning fork in $Hz $ is

A spray gun is shown in the figure where a piston pushes air out of a nozzle. A thin tube of uniform cross section is connected to the nozzle. The other end of the tube is in a small liquid container. As the piston pushes air through the nozzle, the liquid from the container rises into the nozzle and is sprayed out. For the spray gun shown, the radii of the piston and the nozzle are $20 \ mm$ and $1 \ mm$ respectively. The upper end of the container is open to the atmosphere. $Image$
