A bottle has an opening of radius a and length b. A cork of length b and radius (a + $\Delta$a) where ($\Delta$a < < a) is compressed to fit into the opening completely (See figure). If the bulk modulus of cork is B and frictional coefficient between the bottle and cork is $\mu$ then the force needed to push the cork into the bottle is :
A
($\pi$ $\mu$ B b) $\Delta$a
B
(2$\pi$ $\mu$ B b) $\Delta$a
C
($\pi$ $\mu$ B b) a
D
(4$\pi$ $\mu$ B b) $\Delta$a

## Explanation

Bulk modulus, B  =  ${{\Delta P} \over {{{\Delta V} \over V}}}$

Vi  =  $\pi$ (a + $\Delta$a)2b

Vf  =  $\pi$a2b

$\therefore$   $\Delta$V = 2$\pi$ab$\Delta$a

$\therefore$   ${{{\Delta V} \over V}}$ = ${{2\pi ab\Delta a} \over {\pi {a^2}b}}$ = ${{2\Delta a} \over a}$

$\therefore$   $\Delta$P = B $\times$ ${{{\Delta V} \over V}}$

= B $\times$ ${{2\Delta a} \over a}$

Normal Force (N) = $\Delta$P $\times$ A

= B $\times$ ${{2\Delta a} \over a}$ $\times$ (2$\pi$a)b

=   4$\pi$B$\Delta$ab

$\therefore$   Frictional force = $\mu$N = (4$\pi$$\mu$Bb)$\Delta$a

A copper ball of mass 100 gm is at a temperature T. It is dropped in a copper calorimeter of mass 100 gm, filled with 170 gm of water at room temperature. Subsequently, the temperature of the system is found to be 75oC. T is given by: (Given : room temperature = 30oC, specific heat of copper = 0.1 cal/gmoC)
A
825oC
B
800oC
C
885oC
D
1250oC

## Explanation

According to principle of calorimetry,

Heat lost = Heat gain

100 × 0.1( – 75) = 100 × 0.1 × 45 + 170 × 1 × 45

10 – 750 = 450 + 7650

10 = 1200 + 7650 = 8850

T = 885°C

A man grows into a giant such that his linear dimensions increase by a factor of 9. Assuming that his density remains same, the stress in the leg will change by a factor of:
A
${1 \over {81}}$
B
9
C
${1 \over {9}}$
D
81

## Explanation

Stress = ${{Force} \over {Area}}$ = ${{mg} \over A}$ = ${{\rho Vg} \over A}$ $\left(As\ {\rho = {m \over V}} \right)$

$\Rightarrow$ Stress $\propto$ ${{{L^3}} \over {{L^2}}}$

$\Rightarrow$ Stress $\propto$ L

As linear dimension increases by a factor of 9, so stress also increases by a factor of 9.
