Response:

Time taken to hit the ground = , as = + .

In case a, the body is projected vertically upwards from a height. Since it first goes up and then
comes down to hit the ground the time taken would be maximum.
2 +2+
Mathematically, = , where is the velocity of projection and is height of projection.

In case b, the body is projected vertically downwards from a height. Since it already was approaching
the ground and the acceleration due to gravity fastens its descent the time taken would be
minimum.
2 +2
Mathematically, =

In case c, the body is projected horizontally from a height. Since it was not approaching the ground
initially it will be gaining vertical velocity and takes a time greater than case b and less than case a.

Response:

Since the train has to take minimum time to cover the distance it must have the greatest
acceleration while speeding up as well as slowing down.

Let the time it speeds up from rest at the first station be 1

The maximum velocity = 0 + 1 ( = 1 2 ) ----------- eq(1)

Distance travelled while speeding up is 1 = 2 /2 ----------- eq(2)

Let the time it slows down to rest be 2

Hence, 0 = 2 ( = 3 2 ) ----------- eq(3)

Distance travelled while slowing down is 2 = 2 /2 ----------- eq(4)

The total time = 1 + 2 ----------- eq(5)

The total distance = 1 + 2 ----------- eq(6)

By substituting the value of 1 and 2 from eq(1) and eq(3) in eq(5) we get

= (+) ----------- eq(7)

By substituting the 1 and 2 from eq(2) and eq(4) in eq(6) we get

After substituting the value of we get the final value of as

Response:

The main criteria for SHM is the presence of a restoring force which is proportional to displacement
from the mean position.

In this question the restoring force is equal to sin always acting down the plane. Since the
restoring force has a constant magnitude it cannot be SHM.

Response:

The perpendicular axis theorem is valid only for laminar objects which are objects that can be
contained in a single plane. It states that for a laminar object in the XY plane = + .

In an essence we can say that the moment of inertia about an axis passing through a point P and
perpendicular to the lamina is the sum of moment of inertia about any two perpendicular axes on
the lamina passing through P.

Hence both a and b are correct as the axes 1,3 and 2,4 represent a pair of perpendicular axes passing
through O.

Response:

Pascal law states that any pressure change in an incompressible fluid is equally transmitted
throughout the liquid i.e., same change in pressure is observed everywhere in the liquid.

Therefore, pressure change at piston A must be equal to pressure change at piston B.

Or =

=


= ( )

Since area of piston A is times the area of piston B the force at Piston is becomes times the force
applied at B i.e., = .

The work done by an external agent in the absence of non-conservative force is equal to change in
the mechanical energy.

Here in this problem the chain is being lift slowly ( = 0) from a position where it is completely
on the ground to a position where it is vertical and the lower end touches the ground i.e., the centre
of mass effectively raises by a height equal to half the length. Hence, the change in mechanical

energy is 2 or work done is 2.

Response:

Since the two wires are connected end to end, the tension developed at any cross-section is same.
Therefore, the stress developed at any cross-section is also same because of equal diameter.

Or,
() = ()

As copper has a lower Youngs modulus that steel it elongated by a larger value than steel does
under the same stress. Hence copper undergoes larger strain than steel does i.e., strains are
different.

Response:

From the first law of thermodynamics we know that the heat absorbed by a system is equal to the
sum of change in internal energy of the system and the work done by the system.

Hence, in a process where entire heat absorbed goes on to do work ( = ) the internal energy
does not change
