A brass ball is hanging from a stiff cotton thread. Draw a neat labelled diagram showing the forces acting on the brass ball and cotton thread.
The distance between two bodies is doubled. How is the magnitude of the gravitational force between them affected?
Which class of lever will always have MA > 1 and why?
A second Class lever (class II) will always have MA > 1. This is because the load is between the fulcrum and the effort. So, the effort arm is always greater than the load arm. Hence, MA = E/L > 1.
A solid of mass 50 g at 150°C is placed in 100 g of water at 11°C, when the final temperature recorded is 20°C. Find the specific heat capacity of the solid. (specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J/g°C)
How is the refractive index of a material related to:
(i) real and apparent depth?
(ii) velocity of light in vacuum or air and the velocity of light in a given medium?
