Consider an iron rod of length 1 metre and cross section 1 cm^2 with a Young's modulus of 10^12 dyne/cm^2. The force with which the two ends must be pulled to produce an elongation of 1 mm is equal to
A. 10^10 dyne
B. 10^7 dyne
C. 10^9 dyne
D. 10^8 dyne

Correct Option
Explanation
Strain = 0.1 cm / 100 cm = 0.001; stress = E·strain = 10^12·0.001 = 10^9 dyne/cm^2; force = stress×area = 10^9×1 = 10^9 dyne.

Correct Option
Explanation
The Magnus effect (lift on a spinning object) arises from pressure differences in the flow, a phenomenon explained by Bernoulli's theorem.

Correct Option
Explanation
Pascal's law states that pressure applied at one point in an incompressible fluid is transmitted undiminished throughout the fluid.

The ratio of the adiabatic to isothermal elasticities of a triatomic gas is
A. 3/4
B. 5/3
C. 1
D. 4/3
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
For a (nonlinear) triatomic gas f = 6 degrees of freedom, so γ = 1 + 2/f = 1 + 2/6 = 4/3, the ratio of adiabatic to isothermal elasticity.

For practical purposes, the proportional limit for a ductile material is:
A. Smaller than elastic limit
B. Greater than elastic limit
C. Any of these
D. Identical with the elastic limit
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
For ductile materials the proportional limit is effectively the same as the elastic limit for practical purposes, so they are considered identical.

The two non-zero vectors a and b are at right angle to each other
A. a × b = 0
B. a · b = a b
C. a · b = 1
D. a · b = 0
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
If two vectors are perpendicular their dot product is zero, so a · b = 0.

Two bars A and B of circular cross section and of same volume made of the same material are subjected to tension. If the diameter of A is half that of B and if the force applied to both the rods is the same and it is in the elastic limit, the ratio of extension of A to that of B will be
A. 8
B. 16
C. 4
D. 2
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
With equal volume and d_A = 0.5 d_B, length_A = 4 length_B and area_A = 1/4 area_B; extension ∝ L/A so ratio = (4)/(1/4) = 16.
