$ F =6 \pi \eta rv \Rightarrow \eta=\frac{ F }{6 \pi rv } $
$ {[\eta]=\frac{\left[ MLT ^{-2}\right]}{[ L ]\left[ LT ^{-1}\right]}=\left[ ML ^{-1} T ^{-1}\right]} $
$ E = hv \Rightarrow h =\frac{ E }{v}=\frac{\left[ ML ^2 T ^{-2}\right]}{\left[ T ^{-1}\right]}=\left[ ML ^2 T ^{-1}\right]$
Work function has same dimension as that of energy, so $[\phi]=\left[ ML ^2 T ^{-2}\right]$

Solution

$\Delta U = nC _{ v } \Delta T$
For isothermal process $T$ is constant
So $\Delta U =0$
$A \longrightarrow II$
Adiabatic process
$ \Delta Q = 0 $
$ \Delta Q =\Delta U +\Delta W $
$\Delta U =-\Delta W$
Work done by gas is positive
So $\Delta U$ is negative
$\text { B } \longrightarrow \text { I }$
For Isochoric process $\Delta W =0$
$C \longrightarrow IV$
For Isobaric process
$\Delta W = P \Delta V \neq 0$
$\Delta U = nC _{ V } \Delta T \neq 0$
Heat absorbed goes partly to increase internal energy and partly do work.

Magnetic fields due to both wires will be perpendicular to each other.
$B_1=\frac{\mu_0 i_1}{2 \pi d } B_2=\frac{\mu_0 i _2}{2 \pi d } $
$ B _{ net }=\sqrt{ B _1^2+ B _2^2} \Rightarrow \frac{\mu_0}{2 \pi d } \sqrt{ i _1^2+ i _2^2} $
$\Rightarrow \frac{4 \pi \times 10^{-7}}{2 \pi \times(7 / \sqrt{2}) \times 10^{-2}} \times \sqrt{8^2+15^2}\left( d =\frac{7}{\sqrt{2}} cm \right)$

$ I _2=5 R ^2 $
$\frac{ I _2}{ I _1}=\frac{5}{7} $
$ x =5$

Answer: 1

Solution

Surface Tension $= T$
$R$ : Radius of bigger drop
$r$ : Radius of smaller drop
Volume will remain same
$ \frac{4}{3} \pi R ^3=1000 \times \frac{4}{3} \pi r ^3 $
$ R =10 r $
$ u _{ i }= T \cdot 4 \pi R ^2 $
$ u _{ f }= T \cdot 4 \pi r ^2 \times 1000$
$ \frac{ u _{ f }}{ u _{ i }}=\frac{1000 r ^2}{ R ^2}$
$\frac{ u _{ f }}{ u _{ i }}=\frac{10}{1}$
$\text { So, } x =1$

Answer: 2

Solution

image
$m _1 v _1= m _2 v _2 \Rightarrow \frac{ m _1}{ m _2}=\frac{2}{3}$
Since, Nuclear mass density is constant
$\frac{ m _1}{\frac{4}{3} \pi r _1^3}=\frac{ m _2}{\frac{4}{3} \pi r _2^3} $
$ \left(\frac{ r _1}{ r _2}\right)^3=\frac{ m _1}{ m _2}$
$ \frac{ r _1}{ r _2}=\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} $
$\text { So, } x=2$

Answer: 8

Solution

$ \cos \phi=\frac{R}{Z}=\frac{ R }{\sqrt{ R ^2+\left( X _{ C }- X _{ L }\right)^2}} $
$ \cos \phi=\frac{80}{\sqrt{(80)^2+(60)^2}} $
$ \cos \phi=\frac{80}{100} \Rightarrow \frac{8}{10}$
So, $x=8$

$\Rightarrow 18 b ^2+ b =360 b ^3$
$ \Rightarrow 360 b ^2-18 b -1=0 \{\because b \neq 0\} $
