This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Given radius r= 2.5 * 10 - 5 m

Surface tension S= 7.28 * 10 - 2 N / m

Angle of contact = 00

The maximum height to which SAP can rise in trees through capillarity action is given by

h = 2 S c o s θ r ρ g where S = surface tension, ρ = density, r= radius

h= 2 * 7.28 * 10 - 2 C O S O 0 2.5 * 10 - 5 * 1 * 10 - 3 * 9.8 = 0.6 m

This is the maximum height to which the SAP can rise due to surface tension. Since, many trees have heights much more than this, capillary action alone cannot account for the rise of water in all trees.

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Consider the diagram.

Let the density of water be ρ w  and a cubical block of ice of side L be floating in water with x of its height L submerged in water.

Volume of the block V = L3

Mass of the block m = V ρ =L3 ρ

Weight of the block = mg= L3 ρ g

1st case

Volume of the water displaced by the submerged part of the block= xL2

Weight of the water displaced by the block

In floating condition, x L2

Weight of the block= Weight of the water displaced by the block

L3 ρ g = xL2 ρ w g

x L = ρ ρ w = x

2nd case

When elevator is accelerating upward with an acceleration a, then effective acceleration

= (g+a)

Then, w

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Consider the diagram,

The scale is adjusted to zero, therefore, when the block suspended to a spring is immersed

In water, then the reading of the scale will be equal to the thrust on the block due to water.

Thrust= weight of water displaced

=V ρ wg (where V is volume of the block and ρ w is density of water)

= m ρ ρ w g = ρ w ρ m g

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Given density of ice ρ i = 0.917 g cm-3

Density of water ρ w = 1 g / c m 3

Let V be the total volume of iceberg and V' of its volume be submerged in water.

In floating condition

Weight of the iceberg= weight of the water displaced by the submerged part by ice

V ρ ig = V' ρ w g

V ' V = ρ i ρ w = 0.917 1 = 0.917

No surface tension is a scalar quantity.

Surface tension = work done/ surface area, where work done and surface area both are scalar quantities.

This is a long answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Let the pressure inside the ballon be P1 and the outside pressure be Po, then excess pressure is Pi-Po =2S/r

Considering the air to be an ideal gas piV = niRTi = where, V is the volume of the air inside the balloon, ni is the number of moles inside and Ti is the temperature inside, and poV =noRTo where V is the volume of the air displaced and no is the number of moles displaced and To is the temperature outside.

So ni= P i V R T i = M i M A

Where Mi is the mass of air inside and MA is the molar mass of air

no= P o V R T o = M o M A

if w Is the load it can raise then w+M1g=Mog

as atmosphere 21% O2 and 79%N2 is pres

Surface tension is exhibited by liquids due to force of attraction between molecules of the liquid. The surface tension decreases with increase in temperature and vanishes at boiling point. Given that the latent heat of vaporisation for water Lv = 540 k cal kg-1, the mechanical equivalent of heat J = 4.2 J cal-1, density of water ρw = 103 kg/m3, Avagadro's No NA = 6.0 * 1026 k mole-1 and the molecular weight of water MA = 18 kg for 1 k mole.

(a) Estimate the energy required for one molecule of water to evaporate.

(b) Show that the inter–molecular distance for water is d= MANA*1ρw1/3  and find its va

This is a long answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

(a) Lv=540 kcal kg-1

= 540 * 10 3 c a l kg-1 = 540 * 10 3 * 4.2jkg-1

Energy required to evaporate 1kg of water = Lv kcal

And MA kg of water requires MALV kcal

Since there are NA molecules in MA kg of water the energy required for 1 molecule to evaporate

Is

U= M A L V N A J

= 18 * 540 * 4.2 * 10 3 6 * 10 26 J

=90 * 18 * 4.2 * 10 - 23 J

= 6.8 * 10 - 20 J

(b) Let the water molecules to be points and are separated at a distance d from each other

volume of NA molecule of water = M A ρ w

thus the volume of one molecule is = M A N A ρ w

the volume around one molecule is d3= M A N A ρ w

d= ( M A N A ρ w ) 3 = ( 18 6 * 10 26 * 10 3 ) 1 / 3

d= 3.1 * 10 - 10 m

(c) 1 kg of vapour occupies volume =1601 * 10 - 3 m3

18 kg of vapour occupies 18 * 1601 * 10 - 3 m3

6 * 10 26 molecules occupies 18 * 1601 * 10 - 3 m3

This is a long answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

(a) consider a horizontal parcel of air with cross section A and height dh

Let the pressure on the top surface and bottom surface be P and p+dp. If the parcel is in equilibrium , then the net upward force must be balanced by the weight

(P+dP)-PA=- ρ A d h * g

dP= - ρ g d h

negative sign shows that pressure decreases with height.

(b) let ρ o be the density of air on the surface of earth.

As per question , pressure  density

P P o = ρ ρ 0

ρ = ρ o P o P

dP= - ρ o g P o P d h

d P p = - ρ o g d h P o

P o P d P P = - ρ o g P o 0 h d h

In P P o = - ρ o g h P o

P=Poe(- ρ o g h P o )

(c) as P =Po e - ρ o g h P o

in P P o = - ρ o g h P o

p=1/10 Po

in( 1 10 P o P o ) =- - ρ o g h P o

in1/10 =- ρ o g P o h ρ 0

h=- P o ρ o g in1/10= - P o P o g i n ( 10 ) -1= P o P o g i n ( 10 )

= P o P o g * 2.303

= 1.013 * 10 5 1.22 * 9.8 * 2.303 = 0.16 * 10 5 m

= 16 * 103m

(d) we know that
