61
Which one of the following pairs represent units of the same physical quantity?
Correct Option
Option D
Explanation
Joule and calorie are both units of energy (heat), so they represent the same physical quantity.
62
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:
Correct Option
Option A
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.
63
The unit of electrical permittivity of free space ε0 is
Correct Option
Option B
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?
Correct Option
Option D
Explanation
Detachment weight of a drop from a tube end is proportional to surface tension, so the ratio is 30:60 = 1:2.
65
System International (SI) of units was established in:
Correct Option
Option D
Explanation
The International System of Units (SI) was established in 1960 by the 11th CGPM.
66
The mechanical equivalent of heat
Correct Option
Option B
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:
Correct Option
Option B
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
Correct Option
Option D
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
One newton is equal to:
Correct Option
Option A
Explanation
A newton is defined as kg·m·s^-2, the unit of force derived from mass × acceleration.
70
If a barometer uses water instead of mercury, the height of column for a pressure equivalent to 75 cm of mercury will be
Correct Option
Option D
Explanation
Height scales inversely with density: h_water ≈ 75 cm × (density_Hg/density_water) ≈ 75 × 13.6 ≈ 1020 cm, so option A is correct.
