Question
Answer the following questions regarding earth’s magnetism:
In which direction would a compass free to move in the vertical plane point to, if located right on the geomagnetic north or south pole?
✓

Answer

A compass is free to move in a horizontal plane, while, the earth's field is exactly vertical at the magnetic poles. So the compass can point in any direction there.

A metal block of density $6000\ kg m^{-3}$ and mass $1.2\ kg$ is suspended through a spring of spring constant $200N m^{-1}$. The spring-block system is dipped in water kept in a vessel. The water has a mass of $260g$ and the block is at a height $40\ cm$ above the bottom of the vessel. If the support to the spring is broken, what will be the rise in the temperature of the water. Specific heat capacity of the block is $250J\ kg^{-1} K^{-1}$ and that of water is $4200J\ kg^{-1} K^{-1}$. Heat capacities of the vessel and the spring are negligible.
