MCQ
When an air bubble of radius $‘r’$ rises from the bottom to the surface of a lake, its radius becomes $5r/4$ (the pressure of the atmosphere is equal to the $10 \,m$ height of water column). If the temperature is constant and the surface tension is neglected, the depth of the lake is .... $m$
  • A
    $3.53$
  • B
    $6.53$
  • $9.53$
  • D
    $12.53$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$9.53$
c
In this case, $(4 / 3) \pi r^{3}\left(p_{0}+p_{1}\right)=(4 / 3) \pi r^{3}\left(5^{3} / 4^{3}\right) P _{0}$

where, $P_{0}=$ atm pressure, $P_{1}=$ water pressure

Rearranging, we get, $P_{1}=\left[\left(5^{3} / 4^{3}\right)-1\right] P_{0}$

Or, $\rho gH =(\frac{61}{64}) P _{0}$

Or, $H =\frac{(\frac{61}{64}) P _{0}}{\rho g}$

$P_{0}=10 g$ and $\rho$ of water $=1$

Putting these values we get, $H =9.53 \; m$

Young's modulus of elasticity $Y$ is expressed in terms of three derived quantities, namely, the gravitational constant $G$, Planck's constant $h$ and the speed of light $c$, as $Y=c^\alpha h^\beta G^\gamma$. Which of the following is the correct option?
Two trains $A$ and $B$ are moving with speeds $20 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ and $30 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ respectively in the same direction on the same straight track, with $B$ ahead of $A$. The engines are at the front ends. The engine of train  $A$ blows a long whistle.

Assume that the sound of the whistle is composed of components varying in frequency from $f_1=800 \mathrm{~Hz}$ to $f_2=1120 \mathrm{~Hz}$, as shown in the figure. The spread in the frequency (highest frequency - lowest frequency) is thus $320 \mathrm{~Hz}$. The speed of sound in still air is $340 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$.

$1.$  The speed of sound of the whistle is

$(A)$ $340 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ for passengers in $A$ and $310 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ for passengers in $B$

$(B)$ $360 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ for passengers in $A$ and $310 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ for passengers in $B$

$(C)$ $310 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ for passengers in $A$ and $360 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ for passengers in $B$

$(D)$ $340 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ for passengers in both the trains

$2.$  The distribution of the sound intensity of the whistle as observed by the passengers in train $\mathrm{A}$ is best represented by
