### January 2019 Physics Paper

Question 1. A block of mass 10 kg is kept on a rough inclined plane as shown in figure. The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is 0.6. Two forces of magnitudes 3N & P Newton are acting on the block as shown figure. If friction on the block is acting upwards then minimum value of P for which the block remains at rest is:

1. a) 64 N
2. b) 32 N
3. c) 12 N
4. d) 3 N

Solution:

1. Upward force = Downward force

mg sinθ +3 = p + l

mg sinθ +3=P + µ(N)

substituting,

[(10 x 10)/√2] + 3= P + [(0.6 x 10 x10)/√2]

Simplifying P = 32N

Question 2. For path ABC, Heat given to the system is 60 J and work done by the system is 30 J. For path ADC, work done by the system is 10J. The heat given to the system for path ADC is

1. a) 100 J
2. b) 80 J
3. c) 40 J
4. d) 60 J

Solution:

1. Change in Int energy should be same

ΔU = 60 - 30 = 30

In process ABC

ΔQ = ΔU + Δw

= 30 + 10 = 40 J

Question 3. Initially, an object is kept at a distance of 10 cm from the convex lens and a sharp image is formed at 10 cm ahead of the lens on the screen. Now a glass plate of µ = 1.5 cm and thickness 1.5 cm is placed between object and lens. The distance by which the screen be shifted to get a sharp image on the screen will be:

1. a) 1.1 cm
2. b) 0.55 cm away from the lens
3. c) 0.55 cm towards the lens
4. d) 5 cm

Solution:

1. 2f ⇒ f= 5cm

S = t (1 – (1/µ)) = 1.5(1 – (1/1.5)) = 0.5

along incident rayS is positive

new object distance = 10 -0.5 = 9.5

(1/v) = (1/u) + (1/f)

V =uf/(u+f) = (5 x 9.5)/(9.5 – 5) = 10.55 cm

The screen should be shifted by a distance 0.55 cm away from the lens

Solution:

1. For small dθ,

3. c) xy = constant
4. d) None of these

Solution:

1. $\vec{v}=y\hat{i}+x\hat{j}$

(dx/dt) = y

(dx/dt) = ky, (dx/dt) = kx

(dy / dx) = dy / dt × (dt / dx) = kx / ky

xdx = ydy

$\frac{x^{2}}{2}+\frac{y^{2}}{2}=C$

x2- y2 = K

3. c) F/2√ mK
4. d) F √2mK

Solution:

1. Maximum speed is at equilibrium where

F=kx⇒x= F/k

​Now, F⋅x= (1/2)mv2 + (1/2)kx2

F⋅(F/k)= (1/2)mv2 + (1/2)k(F/k)2

Solving we get,

v= F/√mK

= 140 µC

Question 20. If length of resistance wire is increased by 0.5 % keeping the volume constant then change in resistance will be;

1. a) 0 %
2. b) 1 %
3. c) 0.5 %
4. d) 2 %

Solution:

1. $R = \frac{\rho l\times l}{a\times l}=\frac{\rho l^{2}}{V}$

R ∝ l2

New length = L + 0.5 % of L

= L+ 0.005 L

=1.005 L

It is mentioned that volume remain unchanged

New volume = New cross sectional area(A') x New length

A x L= New cross sectional area(A') x 1.005 L

Hence, New cross sectional area A' = A/1.005 = 0.995 A

Briefly, features of stretched wire are as follows:

Length (L') =1.005 L

Cross sectional area (A') = 0.995 A

Resistivity = p

Hence Resistance of stretched wire = p (L'/A')

= p (1.005 L/0.995 A)

= 1.01 p(L/A)

Change in resistance = New resistance - Old resistance

= 1.01 p (L/A) - p (L/A)

= 0.01 p (VA)

Percentage change = (Change in resistance/Old resistance) x 100

= 0.01 p (L/A)/p(L/A) x 100

= 0.01 x 100

= 1%

2. b) $\frac{k\epsilon _{0}a^{2}lnk}{d(k-2)}$
3. c) $\frac{k\epsilon _{0}a^{2}lnk}{2d(k-1)}$
4. d) $\frac{2k\epsilon _{0}a^{2}lnk}{d(k-1)}$

Solution:

1. y/d = x/a …(1)

$dC_{2}=\frac{\epsilon _{0}adx}{d-y}$

$dC_{1}=\frac{K\epsilon _{0}adx}{y}$

$dC_{eq}=\frac{dC_{1}dC_{2}}{dC_{1}+dC_{2}}= \frac{\epsilon _{0}adx}{\frac{C_{1}}{k}+ \frac{d-y}{1}}$

$C_{eq}=\int_{0}^{a}\frac{\epsilon _{0}adx}{\frac{C_{1}}{k}+ \frac{d-y}{1}}$

After integrating, we get option 1 as an answer.

1. a) 0.4 Ωm
2. b) 2 Ωm
3. c) 4 Ωm
4. d) 0.2 Ωm

Question 25.A block of mass M is hanging by a string of negligible mass in a car. The speed of the wave in the string 60 m/s. Now the car is accelerated horizontally by an acceleration at the speed of wave in the string is 60.5 m/s. What is a in terms of g?

1. a) g/5
2. b) g/10
3. c) g/20
4. d) g/30

Solution:

1. Speed of wave on string

$v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }}$

wherein, T is Tension in the string and μ is linear mass density

$v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{m }}$

$60=\sqrt{\frac{Mg}{m }}$ given m<< M

When the car accelerates with a,

Resultant acceleration = $\sqrt{a^{2}+g^{2}}$

$60=\sqrt{\frac{M\sqrt{a^{2}+g^{2}}}{m }}$

$(\frac{60.5}{60})^{2}=\frac{\sqrt{a^{2}+g^{2}}}{g}$

$(\frac{60.5}{60})^{4}=\frac{{a^{2}+g^{2}}}{g}$

$a^{2}=g^{2}\times (\frac{60.5}{60})^{4}-g^{2}$

a = 0.1837 g

= g/5.44

a=g/5 (approx)
