MCQ
In which case, work done will be zero:
  • A
    A weight-lifter while holding a weight of 100kg on his shoulders for 1min.
  • B
    A locomotive against gravity when it is running on a level plane with a speed of 60kmh-1.
  • C
    A person holding a suitcase on his head and standing at a bus terminalAll of the above.
  • D
    All of the above.

Answer

  1. All of the above.

Explanation:

Work done by weight-lifter is zero because there is no displacement. In a locomotive, work done is zero because force and displacement are mutually perpendicular to each other.

While a person holding a suitcase, work done is zero because there is no displacement.

A uniform cylinder of length $L$ and mass $M$ having cross-sectional area $A$ is suspended, with its length vertical, from a fixed point by a massless spring, such that it is half submerged in a liquid of density $\sigma $ at equilibrium position. When the cylinder is given a downward push and released, it starts oscillating vertically with a small amplitude. The time period $T$ of the oscillations of the cylinder will be
A perfect gas goes from state $A$ to another state $B$ by absorbing $8 \times {10^5}J$ of heat and doing $6.5 \times {10^5}J$ of external work. It is now transferred between the same two states in another process in which it absorbs ${10^5}J$ of heat. Then in the second process
In a thermodynamic process two moles of a monatomic ideal gas obeys $P \propto V^{-2}$. If temperature of the gas increases from $300 \,K$ to $400 \,K$, then find work done by the gas .........$R$ (where $R=$ universal gas constant).
A bullet of mass $0.1\,kg$ moving horizontally with speed $400\,ms ^{-1}$ hits a wooden block of mass $3.9\,kg$ kept on a horizontal rough surface. The bullet gets embedded into the block and moves $20\,m$ before coming to rest. The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is $........$ $\left(\text { Given } g=10 \,ms ^2\right. \text { ) }$
A cart is moving horizontally along a straight line with a constant speed of $30\,m / s$. A projectile is to be fired from the moving cart in such a way that it will retum to the cart (at the same point on cart) after the cart has moved $80\,m$. At what velocity (relative to the cart) must be projectile be fired? (Take $=10\,m / s ^2$ )
A glass capillary tube is of the shape of a truncated cone with an apex angle $\alpha$ so that its two ends have cross sections of different radii. When dipped in water vertically, water rises in it to a height $h$, where the radius of its cross section is $b$. If the surface tension of water is $S$, its density is $\rho$, and its contact angle with glass is $\theta$, the value of $h$ will be ( $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity)
Two vibrating tuning forks produce progressive waves given by ${y_1} = 4\,\sin \,\left( {500\pi t} \right)$ and ${y_2} = 2\,\sin \,\left( {506\pi t} \right)$. These tuning forks are held near the ear of a person. The person will hear $\alpha \, beats/s$ with intensity ratio between maxima and minima equal to $\beta $. Find the value of $\beta  - \alpha $

A boy is standing on top of a tower of height $85 \,m$ and throws a ball in the vertically upward direction with a certain speed. If $5.25$ s later he hears the ball hitting the ground, then the speed with which the boy threw the ball is .......... $m / s$ (take, $g=10 \,m / s ^2$ and speed of sound in air $=340 \,m / s$ )
