The potential φ in Joule of a particle of mass 1 kg moving in x - y plane obey the law of φ = 3x + 4y. Here x and y are in meters. If the particle is at rest at (6m, 8m) at time t = 0, then the work done by conservative force on the particle from the initial position to the instant when it crosses the x - axis is

Detailed Solution: Question 2


OR, the direction of motion of the particle is along the origin. The particle will cross the X-axis at origin.
So, by the energy conservation at time t = 0, (6m, 8m) and at origin 
Ki+ Ui = Kf + Uf

Suppose at some instant the particle is at radial distance r from centre of earth O. since the particle is constrained to move along the tunnel, we define its position as distance x from c. Hence, equation of motion of the particle is max = fx
The gravitational force on mass m at distance r is F = 
Therefore,

Since, Fx α- x , motion is simple harmonic in nature.

A convex lens of focal length 24 cm (μ = 1.5) is totally immersed in water. Its focal length in water is _______ .

Detailed Solution: Question 23

Option D: 96 cm.

For a lens in air the lens-maker relation is 1/f_air = (n_lens - 1)(1/R1 - 1/R2), where n_lens is the refractive index of the lens.

When the lens is immersed in a medium of refractive index n_medium, the relation becomes 1/f_medium = (n_lens/n_medium - 1)(1/R1 - 1/R2).

Eliminating (1/R1 - 1/R2) by dividing the two expressions gives 1/f_medium = [(n_lens - n_medium)/(n_medium (n_lens - 1))] · 1/f_air.

Therefore f_medium = f_air · n_medium (n_lens - 1)/(n_lens - n_medium).

Substitute f_air = 24 cm, n_lens = 1.5 and n_medium = 4/3:

n_medium (n_lens - 1) = (4/3) × 0.5 = 2/3.

n_lens - n_medium = 1.5 - 4/3 = 1/6.

Hence f_medium = 24 × (2/3) ÷ (1/6) = 24 × 4 = 96 cm.

Final answer: 96 cm (Option D).

What is the maximum range along the dashed line attained by the water stream coming out at B from a thin tube of the water tank assembly shown in the figure ?
Assume h = 10m, L = 2m and θ = 30°

Detailed Solution: Question 25

Option D. The horizontal range along the dashed line is approximately 17.16 m (≈17.3 m).

Use Bernoulli to find the exit speed: v = √(2 g (h - L sin θ)). Here h - L sin θ = 10 - 2×0.5 = 9 m, and taking g = 9.8 m/s2 gives v = √(18 g) ≈ 13.282 m/s.

Resolve v into components: v_x = v cos θ and v_y = v sin θ. With cos θ = √3/2 ≈ 0.8660 and sin θ = 0.5, we get v_x ≈ 11.50 m/s and v_y ≈ 6.641 m/s.

Initial height above the dashed line is y0 = L sin θ = 1 m. Time to reach the dashed line is found from y0 + v_y t - ½ g t2 = 0, so t = (v_y + √(v_y2 + 2 g y0)) / g. Substituting values gives t ≈ 1.492 s.

The horizontal range is R = v_x t ≈ 11.50 × 1.492 ≈ 17.16 m, which rounds to 17.3 m. Therefore option D is correct.
