MCQ
A wire of cross-sectional area $3\,m{m^2}$ is first stretched between two fixed points at a temperature of $20°C$. Determine the tension when the temperature falls to $10°C$. Coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha = {10^{ - 5}}   { ^\circ}{C^{ - 1}}$ and $Y = 2 \times {10^{11}}\,N/{m^2}$  ........ $N$
  • A
    $20 $
  • B
    $30$
  • $60$
  • D
    $120$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$60$
c
(c) $F = YA\alpha \Delta t$$ = 2 \times {10^{11}} \times 3 \times {10^{ - 6}} \times {10^{ - 5}} \times (20 - 10) = 60\,N$

A narrow tube is bent in the form of a circle of radius $R,$ as shown in the figure. Two small holes $S$ and $D$ are made in the tube at the positions right angle to each other. A source placed at $S$ generated a wave of intensity $I_0$ which is equally divided into two parts : One part travels along the longer path, while the other travels along the shorter path. Both the part waves meet at the point $D$ where a detector is placed The maximum intensity produced at $D$ is given by
