A soap bubble of surface tension $0.04 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}$ is blown to a diameter of 7 cm . If $(15000-x) \mu \mathrm{J}$ of work is done in blowing it further to make its diameter 14 cm , then the value of $x$ is $\_\_\_\_$ .
$ (\pi=22 / 7) $
Explanation:
A soap bubble has two surfaces (inner and outer). The total surface energy $(U)$ is given by :
$ U=2 \times S \times A=2 \times S \times\left(4 \pi R^2\right) $
where $S$ is the surface tension and $A$ is the surface area.
The work done ( $W$ ) to increase the size is equal to the change in surface energy :
$ \mathrm{W}=\Delta \mathrm{U}=8 \pi \mathrm{~S}\left(\mathrm{R}_2^2-\mathrm{R}_1^2\right) $
$ \mathrm{W}=8 \pi \mathrm{~S}\left[\left(\frac{\mathrm{D}_2}{2}\right)^2-\left(\frac{\mathrm{D}_1}{2}\right)^2\right]=2 \pi \mathrm{~S}\left(\mathrm{D}_2^2-\mathrm{D}_1^2\right) $
The given values are,
Surface tension $\mathrm{N}=0.04 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}$
Initial diameter $D_1=7 \mathrm{~cm}=0.07 \mathrm{~m}$
Final diameter $\mathrm{D}_2=14 \mathrm{~cm}=0.14 \mathrm{~m}$
So, the work done to increase the size of bubble is,
$ \mathrm{W}=2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 0.04 \times\left[(0.14)^2-(0.07)^2\right] $
$\Rightarrow $ $\mathrm{W}=\frac{44}{7} \times 0.04 \times[0.0196-0.0049]$
$ \mathrm{W}=0.003696 \mathrm{~J} $
Now, as we know $1 \mathrm{~J}=10^6 \mu \mathrm{~J}$,
$ \mathrm{W}=0.003696 \times 10^6 \mu \mathrm{~J}=3696 \mu \mathrm{~J} $
$\Rightarrow 15000-x=3696$
$\Rightarrow $ $x=15000-3696$
$\Rightarrow $ $ \mathrm{x}=11304 $
Therefore, the value of x is 11304.
Hence, the correct answer is $\mathbf{1 1 3 0 4}$.
Sixty four rain drops of radius 1 mm each falling down with a terminal velocity of $10 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}$ coalesce to form a bigger drop. The terminal velocity of bigger drop is
$\_\_\_\_$ $\mathrm{cm} / \mathrm{s}$.
Explanation:
When a spherical drop falls through a viscous medium (like air), it reaches a constant speed called terminal velocity $\left(\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{t}}\right)$ when the net force on it is zero.
The forces involved are :

Weight ( W ) is acting downwards, $\mathrm{W}=\mathrm{mg}=$ Volume $\times \rho \times \mathrm{g}$.
Buoyant force ( $\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{b}}$ ) is acting upwards.
Viscous drag force ( $\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{v}}$ ) is acting upwards
According to Stokes' Law $\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{v}}=6 \pi \eta \mathrm{r}$ v.
At equilibrium, the net force must be zero.
$ \mathrm{W}-\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{b}}=\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{v}} $
This leads to the standard formula for terminal velocity :
$ v_t=\frac{2 r^2 g(\rho-\sigma)}{9 \eta} $
Where :
$\mathrm{r}=$ Radius of the drop
$\rho=$ Density of the drop (water)
$\sigma=$ Density of the medium (air)
$\eta=$ Coefficient of viscosity
$\mathrm{g}=$ Acceleration due to gravity
Since $\mathrm{g}, \rho, \sigma$, and $\eta$ are constants for both the small and big drops, the terminal velocity is directly proportional to the square of the radius.
$ v_t \propto r^2 $
When 64 small drops combine to form one big drop, the total volume remains conserved.
Let r be the radius of a small drop.
Let R be the radius of the big drop.
Let $\mathrm{n}=64$ be the number of drops.
Volume of Big Drop $=\mathrm{n} \times$ (Volume of Small Drop)
$\Rightarrow $ $\frac{4}{3} \pi \mathrm{R}^3=\mathrm{n} \times \frac{4}{3} \pi \mathrm{r}^3$
$\Rightarrow $ $\mathrm{R}^3=\mathrm{n} \cdot \mathrm{r}^3$
$\Rightarrow $ $ \mathrm{R}=\mathrm{n}^{1 / 3} \cdot \mathrm{r} $
Substituting $\mathrm{n}=64$ :
$ \mathrm{R}=64^{1 / 3} \cdot \mathrm{r} $
$\Rightarrow $ $ \mathrm{R}=4 \mathrm{r} $
So, the ratio of the terminal velocities for big and small drop using the fact that terminal velocity is proportional to square of radius,
$ \frac{\mathrm{v}_{\text {big }}}{\mathrm{v}_{\text {small }}}=\frac{\mathrm{R}^2}{\mathrm{r}^2}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{R}}{\mathrm{r}}\right)^2=\left(\frac{4 \mathrm{r}}{4}\right)^2=16 $
Given $\mathrm{v}_{\text {small }}=10 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}$.
$ v_{\text {big }}=16 \times v_{\text {small }} $
$\Rightarrow $ $v_{\mathrm{big}}=16 \times 10 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}$
$\Rightarrow $ $\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{big}}=160 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}$
A ball of radius $r$ and density $\rho$ dropped through a viscous liquid of density $\sigma$ and viscosity $\eta$ attains its terminal velocity at time $t$, given by $t=A \rho^a r^b \eta^c \sigma^d$, where $A$ is a constant and $a, b, c$ and $d$ are integers. The value of $\frac{b+c}{a+d}$ is $\_\_\_\_$ .
Explanation:
Dimensions of Each Quantity
We first write the dimensions of every symbol in the formula.
Time $[\mathrm{t}]=\left[\mathrm{M}^0 \mathrm{~L}^0 \mathrm{~T}^1\right]$
Density $[\rho]=[\sigma]=\left[\frac{\text { Mass }}{\text { Volume }}\right]=\left[\mathrm{ML}^{-3}\right]$
Radius $[\mathrm{r}]=[\mathrm{L}]$
From Stokes' Law ( $F=6 \pi \eta$ rv), we have $\eta=$ F/rv.
Using Stokes’ law, $\eta$ depends on force, radius, and velocity, so its dimensions come from $F$, $r$, and $v$.
Dimension $=\left[\mathrm{MLT}^{-2}\right][\mathrm{L^{-1}}]\left[\mathrm{L^{-1}T}\right]=\left[\mathrm{ML}^{-1}{ \mathrm{~T}^{-1}}\right]$
Constant (A) is dimensionless
According to the given formula $t=A \rho^a r^b \eta^c \sigma^d$ :
$ [\mathrm{T}]=\left[\mathrm{ML}^{-3}\right]^{\mathrm{a}}[\mathrm{~L}]^{\mathrm{b}}\left[\mathrm{ML}^{-1}{ \mathrm{~T}^{-1}}\right]^{\mathrm{c}}\left[\mathrm{ML}^{-3}\right]^{\mathrm{d}} $
$\Rightarrow $ $\left[\mathrm{M}^0 \mathrm{~L}^0 \mathrm{~T}^1\right]=\left[\mathrm{M}^{\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{c}+\mathrm{d}}\right]\left[\mathrm{L}^{-3 \mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b}-\mathrm{c}-3 \mathrm{~d}}\right]\left[\mathrm{T}^{-\mathrm{c}}\right]$
Comparing the exponents for $\mathrm{M}, \mathrm{L}$, and T on both sides :
For $\mathrm{T}:-\mathrm{c}=1 \Rightarrow \mathrm{c}=-1$
For $\mathrm{M}: \mathrm{a}+\mathrm{c}+\mathrm{d}=0 \Rightarrow \mathrm{a}-1+\mathrm{d}=0 \Rightarrow \mathrm{a}+\mathrm{d}=1$
For $\mathrm{L}:-3 \mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b}-\mathrm{c}-3 \mathrm{~d}=0$
Substituting $\mathrm{c}=-1$ :
$ -3 a+b+1-3 d=0 $
$\Rightarrow $ $ b+1-3(a+d)=0 $
Substituting $(a+d)=1$
$ b+1-3(1)=0 $
$\Rightarrow $ $ b-2=0 \Rightarrow b=2 $
We need to find the value of $\frac{b+c}{a+d}$ :
$ \frac{b+c}{a+d}=\frac{2+(-1)}{1}=1 $
Therefore, the correct answer is $\mathbf{1}$.
Explanation:
When a spherical ball falls through a viscous fluid, it eventually reaches a constant speed called terminal velocity. This occurs when the net force acting on the ball is zero.

The forces acting on the ball are :
Weight (W) which acts downwards. $\mathrm{W}=\frac{4}{3} \pi \mathrm{r}^3 \sigma \mathrm{~g}$ (where $\sigma$ is the density of the ball).
Up-thrust $\left(\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{B}}\right)$ is Acting upwards. $F_B=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \rho g$ (where $\rho$ is the density of the fluid).
Viscous drag $\left(\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{v}}\right)$ is acting upwards. According to Stokes' Law, $\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{v}}=6 \pi \eta \mathrm{r} \mathrm{v}$, where $\eta$ is the viscosity of fluid and v is the speed of the ball.
At equilibrium :
$ \mathrm{W}=\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{B}}+\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{v}} $
$\Rightarrow $ $\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \sigma g=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \rho g+6 \pi \eta r v$
$\Rightarrow $ $6 \pi \eta r v=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 g(\sigma-\rho)$
$\Rightarrow $ $ \mathrm{v}=\frac{2 \mathrm{r}^2 \mathrm{~g}(\sigma-\rho)}{9 \eta} $
For balls of the same material in the same fluid :
$ \mathrm{v} \propto \mathrm{r}^2 $
Therefore :
$ \frac{\mathrm{v}_2}{\mathrm{v}_1}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{r}_2}{\mathrm{r}_1}\right)^2 $
Initial radius of the ball is $r_1=6 \mathrm{~mm}$ and the initial terminal velocity is $v_1=20 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}$
Final radius of the ball is $r_2=3 \mathrm{~mm}$
Substituting the values :
$\frac{v_2}{20}=\left(\frac{3}{6}\right)^2$
$\Rightarrow $ $ \frac{v_2}{20}=\frac{1}{4} \Rightarrow v_2=\frac{20}{4}=5 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s} $
Therefore, the terminal velocity of the second ball will be $5 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}$.
Hence, the correct answer is 5.

Both the points $A$ and $B$ are in same horizontal plane, the speed of the liquid at $A$ is $10 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}$. The difference in pressures at $A$ and $B$ points is $\_\_\_\_$ Pa.

A certain gas is isothermally compressed to $\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{\mathrm{rd}}$ of its initial volume $\left(V_{\mathrm{o}}=3\right.$ litre) by applying required pressure. If the bulk modulus of the gas is $3 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2$, the magnitude of work done on the gas is $\_\_\_\_$ J.
Explanation:
The Bulk Modulus of a material is defined as the ratio of the infinitesimal pressure increase (dP) to the resulting relative decrease of the volume:
$ B=-\frac{d P}{d V / V}=-\frac{V d P}{d V} $
$\Rightarrow $ $ \mathrm{dP}=-\mathrm{B} \frac{\mathrm{dV}}{\mathrm{~V}} . $
The work done on a gas during a volume change is
$ W=-\int\limits_{V_i}^{V_f} P d V $
$\Rightarrow $ $W=-\int\limits_{V_i}^{V_f} B \ln \left(\frac{V_i}{V}\right) d V$
$\Rightarrow $ $ \mathrm{W}=\int \Delta \mathrm{P} \mathrm{dV} $
However, for a gas where B is constant during isothermal compression, the work done is:
$\mathrm{W}=\mathrm{B} \Delta \mathrm{V}$ for small changes or $\mathrm{W}=\int \mathrm{P} \mathrm{dV}$
The initial volume is $V_i=3$ litres $=3 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}^3$
And the final volume is $V_f=13 \times 3=1$ litre $=1 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}^3$
So, the change in volume is;
$ \Delta V=V_i-V_f=2 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}^3 $
The bulk modulus is $\mathrm{B}=3 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2$
For an isothermal process in a gas, the Bulk Modulus is equal to the pressure ( $\mathrm{B}=\mathrm{P}$ ).
$ W=\int_{V_i}^{V_f} P d V=\int_{V_i}^{V_f} B \frac{V_i}{V} d V $
$\Rightarrow $ $\mathrm{W}=\mathrm{B} \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{i}} \ln \left(\frac{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{i}}}{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{f}}}\right)$
$\Rightarrow $ $\mathrm{W}=\left(3 \times 10^5\right) \times\left(3 \times 10^{-3}\right) \times \ln \left(\frac{\mathrm{V}_0}{\mathrm{~V}_0 / 3}\right)$
$\Rightarrow $ $ W=900 \times 1.0986 \approx 988.74 \mathrm{~J} $
Therefore, the magnitude of work done on the gas is approximately 989 J .
A copper wire of length 3 m is stretched by 3 mm by applying an external force. The volume of the wire is $600 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~m}^3$. The elastic potential energy stored in the wire in stretched condition would be
$\_\_\_\_$ J.
(Given Young modulus of copper $=1.1 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2$ )
Explanation:
For a wire stretched within elastic limit, the elastic potential energy stored is
$ U=\frac{1}{2} \times \text{stress} \times \text{strain} \times \text{volume} $
Now,
$ \text{strain}=\frac{\Delta L}{L}=\frac{3\times 10^{-3}}{3}=10^{-3} $
Using Young's modulus,
$ Y=\frac{\text{stress}}{\text{strain}} \Rightarrow \text{stress}=Y \times \text{strain} $
So,
$ \text{stress}=1.1\times 10^{11}\times 10^{-3}=1.1\times 10^{8}\ \text{N/m}^2 $
Now substitute in energy formula:
$ U=\frac{1}{2}\times (1.1\times 10^{8})\times (10^{-3})\times (600\times 10^{-6}) $
$ U=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.1\times 600\times 10^{8-3-6} $
$ U=\frac{1}{2}\times 660\times 10^{-1} $
$ U=330\times 10^{-1}=33\ \text{J} $
Hence, the elastic potential energy stored in the wire is
$ \boxed{33\ \text{J}} $
A cube has side length 5 cm and modulus of rigidity $10^5 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2$. The displacement produced by a force of 10 N in the upper face of cube is $\_\_\_\_$ mm.
Explanation:
For a cube under shearing force, modulus of rigidity is given by
$ \eta = \frac{\text{shearing stress}}{\text{shearing strain}} $
Now,
Side of cube, $l = 5 \text{ cm} = 0.05 \text{ m}$
Force applied, $F = 10 \text{ N}$
Modulus of rigidity, $\eta = 10^5 \text{ N/m}^2$
Step 1: Find shearing stress
Area of upper face of cube:
$ A = l^2 = (0.05)^2 = 2.5 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m}^2 $
So, shearing stress is
$ \frac{F}{A} = \frac{10}{2.5 \times 10^{-3}} = 4000 \text{ N/m}^2 $
Step 2: Find shearing strain
Let displacement of upper face be $x$.
Shearing strain:
$ \text{strain} = \frac{x}{l} $
Using
$ \eta = \frac{F/A}{x/l} $
So,
$ 10^5 = \frac{4000}{x/0.05} $
$ 10^5 = \frac{4000 \times 0.05}{x} $
$ 10^5 = \frac{200}{x} $
$ x = \frac{200}{10^5} = 2 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m} $
Step 3: Convert into mm
$ 2 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m} = 2 \text{ mm} $
So, the displacement produced is
$ \boxed{2 \text{ mm}} $
The surface tension of a soap solution is $3.5 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}$. The work required to increase the radius of a soap bubble from 1 cm to 2 cm is $\alpha \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~J}$. The value of $\alpha$ is $\_\_\_\_$ .
$ (\pi=22 / 7) $
Explanation:
For a soap bubble, there are two surfaces, so the increase in surface energy is
$ W = 2T \Delta A $
where $T$ is the surface tension and $\Delta A$ is the increase in area of the bubble.
The surface area of a sphere is
$ A = 4\pi r^2 $
So, increase in area for one surface:
$ \Delta A = 4\pi \left(r_2^2 - r_1^2\right) $
Since a soap bubble has two surfaces, total work done is
$ W = 2T \cdot 4\pi \left(r_2^2 - r_1^2\right) = 8\pi T \left(r_2^2 - r_1^2\right) $
Now,
$ r_1 = 1 \text{ cm} = 10^{-2}\text{ m} $
$ r_2 = 2 \text{ cm} = 2\times 10^{-2}\text{ m} $
So,
$ r_2^2 - r_1^2 = (2\times 10^{-2})^2 - (10^{-2})^2 $
$ = 4\times 10^{-4} - 1\times 10^{-4} = 3\times 10^{-4} $
Given,
$ T = 3.5\times 10^{-2}\ \text{N/m} $
Thus,
$ W = 8\pi \times 3.5\times 10^{-2} \times 3\times 10^{-4} $
Using $\pi = \dfrac{22}{7}$,
$ W = 8 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 3.5 \times 3 \times 10^{-6} $
Since $3.5 = \dfrac{7}{2}$,
$ W = 8 \times \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{7}{2} \times 3 \times 10^{-6} $
$ = 8 \times 11 \times 3 \times 10^{-6} $
$ = 264 \times 10^{-6}\ \text{J} $
Hence,
$ \alpha = 264 $
So, the answer is:
$ \boxed{264} $
