Answer-b
Explanation- as observed from the sun two types of forces are acting on the moon one is due to gravitational attraction between the sun and the moon and the other is due to gravitational attraction between the earth and the moon hence total force is not normal.

Answer-a
Explanation- As the earth is revolving around the sun in a circular motion due to gravitational attraction. The force of attraction will be of radial nature and angle between them is zero so torque is also zero.

This is a long answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Consider an element of width dr at r
Let T(r) and T(r+dr) be the tensions at r+dr respectively
So net centrifugal force = w2rdm
= w2r
T(r)-T(r+dr)= w2rdr
-dT= w2rdr
-
T(r)=

Let the increase in length of the element dr be
So Young's modulus Y= stress/strain=
(l2-r2)
Change in length in right part =
=
Total change in length =

Answer-c
Explanation-The gravitational force between sun and earth follows inverse square law. Due to relative motion between earth and mercury, the orbit of mercury observed from the earth will not be approximately circular since the major gravitational force on mercury is due to the sun.

This is a long answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
When a small element of length dx is considered at x from the load x=0
(a) letT(x) and T(x+dx) are tensions on the two cross sections a distance dx apart then
T(x+dx)+T(x)=dmg= dxg
dT= gx+C
at x=0 T(0)=mg
C=mg
T(x)= gx+Mg
Let length dx at x increases by dr then

Young's modulus Y= stress/strain
r=
= 0L
r=
so r = 4
(b) tension will be maximum at x=L
T= +Mg=(m+M)g
The force = (yield strength) area=
(m+M)g= 250
Mg
M= 25

This is a long answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Let the cross sectional area A . consider the equilibrium of the plane aa'. A force F must be acting on this plane making an angle of with the normal ON. Resolving F into components along the plane (FP) and normal to the plane.
By resolving into components

We get Fp= Fcos
And FN= Fsin
Let area of the face aa' be A' then
A/A'=sin so A=A'sin
The tensile stress = normal force/area=Fsin
= sin2
Shearing stress = parallel foce/Area
=
a) For stress to be maximum , sin2 =1
So =
b) Shearing stress to be maximum
sin2
So =
