A slender homogeneous rod of length 2L floats partly immersed in water, being supported by a string fastened to one of its ends, as shown. The specific gravity of the rod is 0.75. The length of rod that extends out of water is
                             
  • a)
    L
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
    3L
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Preeti Khanna answered

Let's say x length of the rod is dipped into the water. 
Since the buoyant force acts through the centre of gravity the displaced water , the condition for rotational equilibrium is, taking moments about a point O along the line of action of T,
0=Στo
⇒0=wl cosθ−FB​(2l−x/2​)cosθ
⇒0=ρrod​gA(2l)(lcosθ)−ρwater​gAx(2l−x/2​)cosθ
⇒0=(1/2​ρwater​gAcosθ) (x2−4lx+4 (ρrodwater)​l2) where A=cross section area
⇒x2−4lx+3l2=0
⇒x=l,3l. 
x=3l is not a possible solution, hence 2l−x=2l−l=l length of the rod extends out of the water.
 

How many of the following are Lewis bases?
    Correct answer is '6'. Can you explain this answer?

    Pooja Shah answered
    Total number of compounds acting as Lewis base in the given example is 6. H+ and BF3 are electron deficient so they can't act as Lewis base while FeCl3 acts as Lewis acid so all the other compounds except these three are Lewis base.

    Vartika Shukla answered
    Aerobic respiration is the complete oxidation of sugars in presence of oxygen.
    The carbohydrates are broken down into CO₂ and H₂O and this releases energy. This energy is stored in the form of ATP and later used in the body.
    So, the correct option is 'Carbon dioxide, water, and energy'

    Neha Joshi answered
    Given:
    a=g/2​ 
    Pressure at A
    PA​=Po​+ρgh+(2ρ)g(h−x)=Po​+3ρgh−2ρgx
    Pressure at B
    PB​=Po​+ρgx
    Using
    PA​−PB​=[2ρ(h+x)+ρ(h−x)]a
    ∴ (Po​+3ρgh−2ρgx)−(Po​+ρgx)=[3ρh+ρx]×g/2​
    OR 3ρgh−3ρgx=3​ρgh/2+1​ρgx/2
    OR 3​ρgh/2=7​ρgx/2  ⟹x=3​h/7
    ∴ Difference in the heights between two columns ΔH=(2h−x)−x=2h−2x 
    ⟹ ΔH=2h−6h/7​=8h/7

    Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

    Om Desai answered
    First, let’s concentrate on the force exerted by the liquid of density 3ρ on the cylinder in the horizontal direction. 
     
    Let the length of the cylinder be L.
    Consider a small segment of length rdθ at an angle θ from the horizontal line. 
    Height of this segment from the topmost point of fluid 3ρ is R sinθ
    Hence, the pressure exerted by the fluid will be 3ρgRsinθ
     The force exerted in the horizontal direction, dF=3ρgRsinθRLcosθdθ

    Similarly, proceeding for the fluid with density 2ρ
    Height of any segment, above horizontal =h−R−Rsinθ
    below horizontal, h−R+Rsinθ
    Thus, horizontal force on the cylinder because of fluid,

    For equilibrium, both the forces should be equal, hence solving the above equation, 
    h = R √3/2​​

      Can you explain the answer of this question below:

      Acidic strength is in order

      • A:

        H2O < CH3COOH < HF < NH3 

      • B:

        NH3 < H2O < CH3COOH < HF 

      • C:

        HF < CH3COOH < H2O < NH3

      • D:

        H2O < NH3 < HF < CH3COOH

      The answer is b.

      Preeti Khanna answered
      When we move from left to right, electronegativity of central atom increases. Due to this nature, central atom has more tendency to break its bond with H and acquire negative charge. So, while moving from left to right, acidic strength increase.

      Water flows through a frictionless duct with a cross-section varying as shown in figure. Pressure p at points along the axis is represented by
                          
      • a)
         
      • b)
         
      • c)
         
      • d)
         
      Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

      Naina Sharma answered
      When the cross section of  duct decreases the velocity of water increases and in accordance with Bernoulli's theorem the pressure decreases at that place.
      Therefore, in this case, the pressure remains constant initially and then decreases as the area of cross section decreases along the neck of the tube and then remains constant along the mouth of the tube.
      Hence, the graph in option A is correct.

      An open cubical tank was initially fully filled with water. When the tank was accelerated on a horizontal plane along one of its side it was found that one third of volume of water spilled out. The acceleration was

      • c)
        3g/2 
      • d)
        None
      Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

      Pooja Kulkarni answered
      Let say the tank is accelerating by some acceleration a, such that the rest water in the tanks forms shape like this -

      Acceleration, a is right wards.
      Where let say h is the height from top till which there is no water
      Now if we say V is total volume and B is area of its base and S be its height 
      We have ½ h X B = V / 3 
      Thus we get h = S/3
      Thus the angle in this cross section of vacant triangle is tan-1
      Also the same triangle relates a and g, which can be seen when we make the block a inertial frame by adding pseudo force of magnitude ma and directing leftwards, thus we get a/g = ⅓
      Thus we get a = g/3

      Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

      Sinjini Pillai answered
      Vt = total volume, Vi = volume of ice, Vm = volume of metal, Vw = volume of water
      Vt = Vw + Vi + Vm
      Since Mi = Mw and ρi x Vi = (ρw)i x (Vw)i and ρi < (ρw)i
      So, Vi > (Vw)i
      Finally, Vt = (Vw)i + Vi + Vm

      • a)
      • b)
      • c)
      • d)
      Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

      Pooja Shah answered
      H2CO3 is formed by dissolution of CO2 into water. This dissociates into H+ and HCO3-. This is the first dissociation of H2CO3. Since HCO3- has another H, it again dissociates to H+ and CO32-. H+ obtained attacks the lone pair of H2O to form H3O+. So H3O+, HCO3-, CO32-, H2CO3 are present in water when CO2 is dissolved in  water.

      Aaditya Pillai answered
      Understanding the Floating Block
      When a block floats in a liquid, it displaces a volume of liquid equal to its weight. In this scenario, we have a cubical block of side edge "a" and mass "M," floating in a liquid of density "r." Since four-fifths of the block's volume is submerged, we can denote the submerged volume as:
      - Volume of the block = a^3
      - Submerged volume = (4/5) * a^3
      The weight of the displaced liquid equals the weight of the block:
      - Weight of displaced liquid = r * (4/5) * a^3 * g
      - Weight of the block = M * g
      Thus, we have:
      - M * g = r * (4/5) * a^3 * g
      From this, we can simplify to find M:
      - M = r * (4/5) * a^3
      Adding the Coin
      When a coin of mass "m" is placed on top of the block, it causes the block to sink further. Since the coin just causes the block to be fully submerged, the total weight now includes both the block and the coin:
      - Total weight = (M + m) * g
      Now, the total displaced volume must equal the weight of the total system:
      - Displaced volume = a^3 (since the block is fully submerged)
      The weight of the displaced liquid is now:
      - Weight of displaced liquid = r * a^3 * g
      Equating the weights gives:
      - (M + m) * g = r * a^3 * g
      Cancelling "g" from both sides, we get:
      - M + m = r * a^3
      Finding "M"
      From our earlier equation:
      - M = r * (4/5) * a^3
      Substituting this into the new equation:
      - (r * (4/5) * a^3) + m = r * a^3
      Rearranging yields:
      - m = r * a^3 * (1 - 4/5) = r * a^3 / 5
      Now substituting this back into our expression for M:
      - M = 4m
      Thus, the correct answer is:
      The Correct Answer
      - M = 4m (Option C)

      Anirban Shah answered
      In first container the Area vector is along the direction of rain. Rate of water collection in first container is A1​×velocity of rain.
      In second cylinder the component of Area vector along the direction of rain is A1​cos60°=A1​/2. So, rate of water collection in second container is 0.5A1​×velocity of rain.
      The ratio of water collection is 2.

      Question:
      A cork of density 0.5 g/cm³ floats on a calm swimming pool. The fraction of the cork's volume which is underwater is:
      a) 0%
      b) 25%
      c) 10%
      d) 50%

      Answer:
      To determine the fraction of the cork's volume that is underwater, we need to analyze the buoyant force acting on the cork.

      Buoyant Force:
      The buoyant force is the upward force exerted on an object submerged in a fluid. It is given by the formula:

      Buoyant force = weight of the fluid displaced

      Archimedes' Principle:
      According to Archimedes' principle, an object submerged in a fluid experiences an upward buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.

      Analysis:
      In this case, the cork is floating on a calm swimming pool, which means the buoyant force acting on the cork is equal to its weight. We know that the density of the cork is 0.5 g/cm³.

      To determine the fraction of the cork's volume underwater, we need to compare the densities of the cork and the fluid (water). If the density of the cork is less than the density of water, it will float.

      Calculation:
      The density of water is approximately 1 g/cm³. Since the density of the cork (0.5 g/cm³) is less than the density of water, it will float.

      When an object floats, the buoyant force is equal to its weight. This means that the weight of the cork is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the cork.

      Since the cork is floating, it displaces an amount of water equal to its own weight. Therefore, the fraction of the cork's volume underwater is equal to the ratio of the cork's weight to the weight of the fluid displaced.

      The fraction of the cork's volume underwater can be calculated using the formula:

      Fraction underwater = Weight of cork / Weight of fluid displaced

      Since the weight of the cork is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced, the fraction underwater is equal to 1, or 100%.

      Conclusion:
      Therefore, the correct answer is option d) 50%.
