Terminal velocity of the ball through a viscous medium
Because for viscous medium of negligible density (σ = 0)
For the second ball
The excess pressure inside a spherical drop of water is four times that of another drop. Then their respective mass ratio is
1 : 16
8 : 1
1 : 4
1 : 64
In a capillary rise experiment, the water level rises to a height of 5 cm. If the same capillary tube is placed in water such that only 3 cm of the tube projects outside the water level, then
water will begin to overflow through the capillary
angle of contact decreases
angle of contact increases
the meniscus completely vanishes
The Young's modulus of the material of a wire is 2 × 1010 Nm-2. If the elongation strain is 1 %, then the energy stored in the wire per unit volume in Jm-3 is

The change in internal energy of a given mass of gas, when its volume changes from V to 2V at constant pressure p is
In a Carnot engine, the temperature of reservoir is 927°C and that of sink is 27°C. If the work done by the engine when it transfers heat from reservoir to sink is 12.6 x 106 J, the quantity of heat absorbed by the engine from the reservoir is
16.8 × 106 J
4 × 106 J
7.6 × 106 J
4.25 × 106 J
In the given p-V diagram, I is the initial state and F is the final state.
The gas goes from I to F by

The heat absorbed by gas is
the same in all three processes
the same in (i) and (ii)
greater in (i) than in (ii)
the same in (i) and (iii)
