A ball falling in a lake of depth 200 m shows a decrease of 0.1% in its volume at the bottom. The bulk modulus of elasticity of the material of the ball is (Take g = 10 m s-2)
Angular momentum has units kg·m^2·s^-1, so option D (kg m2 s-1) is correct.

A wire whose cross-section is 4 mm2 is stretched by 0.1 mm by a certain weight. How far will a wire of the same material and length stretch if its cross-sectional area is 8 mm2 and the same weight is attached ?
Extension is inversely proportional to area; doubling area halves the extension: 0.1 mm × (4/8) = 0.05 mm.

A balloon filled with air is weighted so that it barely floats in water. When it is pushed down so that it gets submerged a short distance in water, then the balloon
SI base quantities (fundamental quantities) are defined and measured directly, making them the ones measured most accurately.

A rectangular vessel when full of water takes 10 minutes to be emptied through an orifice in its bottom. How much time will it take to be emptied when half filled with water?
