Suppose the density of air at Madras is $\mathrm{P}_0$ and atomospheric pressure is $\mathrm{P}_0$. If we go up, the density and the pressure both decrease. Suppose we wish to calculate the pressure at a height 10 km above Madras. If we use the equation $\mathrm{P}_0$ - $\mathrm{P}=$ pogz, will we get a pressure more than the actual or less than the actual? Neglect the variation in g. Does your answer change if you also consider the variation in g?

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from (i) to (v).
When a system (such as a simple pendulum or a block attached to a spring) is displaced from its equilibrium position and released, it oscillates with its natural frequency $\omega,$ and the oscillations are called free oscillations. All free oscillations eventually die out because of the ever present damping forces. However, an external agency can maintain these oscillations. These are called forced or driven oscillations. We consider the case when the external force is itself periodic, with a frequency wd called the driven frequency. The most important fact of forced periodic oscillations is that the system oscillates not with its natural frequency $\omega,$ but at the frequency $\omega,$ d of the external agency; the free oscillations die out due to damping. The most familiar example of forced oscillation is when a child in a garden swing periodically presses his feet against the ground (or someone else periodically gives the child a push) to maintain the oscillations. The maximum possible amplitude for a given driving frequency is governed by the driving frequency and the damping, and is never infinity. The phenomenon of increase in amplitude when the driving force is close to the natural frequency of the oscillator is called resonance. In our daily life, we encounter phenomena which involve resonance. Your experience with swings is a good example of resonance. You might have realized that the skill in swinging to greater heights lies in the synchronization of the rhythm of pushing against the ground with the natural frequency of the swing.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 1 to 5. Centre of Mass:
The centre of mass of a body or a system of bodies is the point which moves as though all of the mass were concentrated there and all external forces were applied to it. Hence, a point at which the entire mass of the body or system of bodies is supposed to be concentrated is known as the centre of mass. If a system consists of more than one particles (or bodies) and net external force on the system in a particular direction is zero with centre of mass at rest. Then, the centre of mass will not move along that direction. Even though some particles of the system may move along that direction.
  1. The centre of mass of a system of two particles divides, the distance between them:
  1. in inverse ratio of square of masses of particles
  2. in direct ratio of square of masses of particles
  3. in inverse ratio of masses of particles
  4. in direct ratio of masses of particles
