MCQ
If M is atomic weight, A is mass number then $\frac{\text{M - A}}{\text{A}}$ represents:
- AMass defect
- BPacking fraction
- CBinding energy
- DChain reaction
✓
Answer
- Packing fraction
Explanation:
Packing fraction is the mass defect per nucleon i.e. elementary particle in the nucleus. The difference between atomic weight and mass number i.e. mass of elementary particle in the nucleus is known as mass defect. Hence,
$\text{p}=\frac{\Delta\text{m}}{\text{A}}$
$\text{p}=\frac{\text{M - A}}{\text{A}}$

One end of a light spring of spring constant k is fixed to a wall and the other end is tied to a block placed on a smooth horizontal surface. In a displacement, the work done by the spring is $\frac{1}{2}\text{kx}^2.$ The possible cases are:
→- At spring was initially compressed by a distance x and was finally in its natural length.
- It was initially stretched by a distance x and and finally was in its natural length.
- It was initially in its natural length and finally in a compressed position.
- It was initially in its natural length and finally in a stretched position.
