Question
The atmosphere is held to the earth by
✓
Answer
(b) various atom of gases present in the earth atmosphere has masses and a gravitational force acts between theses atoms and earth.
also this is the force which holds the various gases near the surface and atmosphere is present.
so best possible answer is option $B.$

Two identical beakers $A$ and $B$ contain equal volumes of two different liquids at $60\,^oC$ each and left to cool down. Liquid in $A$ has density of $8 \times10^2\, kg / m^3$ and specific heat of $2000\, Jkg^{-1}\,K^{-1}$ while liquid in $B$ has density of $10^3\,kgm^{-3}$ and specific heat of $4000\,JKg^{-1}\,K^{-1}$ . Which of the following best describes their temperature versus time graph schematically? (assume the emissivity of both the beakers to be the same)

The diameter of a spherical bob is measured using a vernier callipers. $9$ divisions of the main scale, in the vernier callipers, are equal to $10$ divisions of vernier scale. One main scale division is $1\, {mm}$. The main scale reading is $10\, {mm}$ and $8^{\text {th }}$ division of vernier scale was found to coincide exactly with one of the main scale division. If the given vernier callipers has positive zero error of $0.04\, {cm}$, then the radius of the bob is $...... \,\times 10^{-2} \,{cm}$
