Correct Option
Explanation
Joule and calorie are both units of energy (heat), so they represent the same physical quantity.

A water tank of height 10 m completely filled with water is placed on a level ground. It has two holes, one at 3 m and the other at 7 m from its base. The water ejecting from the two holes will fall at:
A. both the holes will fall at the same spot
B. more information is required
C. upper hole will fall closer than that from the lower hole
D. upper hole will fall farther than that from the lower hole
Answer & Solution

Correct Option
Explanation
Efflux speed ∝ √(depth) and time of fall ∝ √(height above ground); multiplying gives equal ranges for the two holes, so both hit the same spot.

Correct Option
Explanation
Permittivity ε0 has SI units C^2·N^-1·m^-2 (or F/m), matching option C.
64
The surface tensions of two liquids are, respectively 30 and 60 dyne/cm. The liquids drop from the ends of two tubes of the same radius. What is the ratio of the weights of the two drops?
A. 2:3
B. 1:3
C. 3:4
D. 1:2
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Detachment weight of a drop from a tube end is proportional to surface tension, so the ratio is 30:60 = 1:2.
65

The International System of Units (SI) was established in 1960 by the 11th CGPM.
66
The mechanical equivalent of heat
A. has the same dimensions as heat
B. has the same dimensions as energy
C. is dimensionless
D. has the same dimensions as work
Answer & Solution

Correct Option
Explanation
The mechanical equivalent relates heat and work and therefore carries the dimensions of energy; it converts heat units to energy (work) units.
67
The symbol K and G have been used to denote respectively:
A. Young's modulus and shear modulus
B. Bulk modulus and shear modulus
C. Young's modulus and bulk modulus
D. Any of these
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
K commonly denotes the bulk modulus and G denotes the shear modulus, so respectively they are bulk modulus and shear modulus.
68
Angle of contact of a liquid with a solid depends on
A. solid only
B. orientation of the solid surface in liquid
C. liquid only
D. both on solid and liquid only
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
The angle of contact is determined by the interaction between the liquid and the solid surface, so it depends on both the solid and the liquid.
69

If a barometer uses water instead of mercury, the height of column for a pressure equivalent to 75 cm of mercury will be
A. 1034 cm
B. 1000 cm
C. 1040 cm
D. 1020 cm
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Height scales inversely with density: h_water ≈ 75 cm × (density_Hg/density_water) ≈ 75 × 13.6 ≈ 1020 cm, so option A is correct.
