Rahul took a wooden cube of volume $1000  {cm}^3$ and put it in water. He observed that $\displaystyle \frac{3}{5}th$ of its volume is below the level of water. Later, he floated the cube in a liquid of density $0.8  g  {cm}^{-3}$ and applied extra force on the cube to completely submerge it in the given liquid. Calculate how much extra force Rahul applied on the cube.

  1. 2 N

  2. 8 N

  3. 6 N

  4. 4 N


Correct Option: A

1 J is equal to

  1. ${10}^{5}$ erg

  2. ${10}^{7}$ erg

  3. ${10}^{-7}$ erg

  4. none of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$1 J=1N\times1m$


$={10}^{5}dyne\times{10}^{2}cm$

$={10}^{7}erg $

The c.g.s. unit of work is

  1. N

  2. dyne

  3. erg

  4. J


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The $c.g.s.$ unit of work is $erg.$

The $m.k.s.$ unit of work is $N$

One erg is equal to

  1. $1 g cm s^{-2}$

  2. 1 Nm

  3. $10^7 J$

  4. $10^{-7}J$


Correct Option: D

Select the correct statement for work, heat and change in internal energy

  1. Heat supplied and work done depends on initial and final states

  2. Change in internal energy depends on the initial and final states only

  3. Heat and work depend on the path between the two points

  4. All of these


Correct Option: A

How many electron volts make one Joule?

  1. $ 3.25 \times 10^{19} \mathrm{eV} $

  2. $ 6.25 \times 10^{18} \mathrm{eV} $

  3. $ 9.25 \times 10^{17} \mathrm{eV} $

  4. $ 1.25 \times 10^{20} \mathrm{eV} $


Correct Option: B

Water falls from a height of $210\, m$. Assuming whole of energy due to fall is converted into heat the rise in temperature of water would be 
($J = 4.3$ Joule/cal)

  1. $42^0\, C$

  2. $49^0\, C$

  3. $0.49^0\, C$

  4. $4.9^0\, C$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$\begin{array}{l} \Delta \theta =0.0023h \ =0.0023\times 210 \ ={ 0.483^{ 0 } }C \ =\approx { 0.49^{ 0 } }C \end{array}$

Hence, Option $C$ is correct.

1 J Is equal to $1 : kg : m : s^{-2}$

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Ambiguous

  4. Data insufficient


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

False
because,A Joule is equal$= Newton \times meter$, and a Newton $= mass \times acceleration$The unit for mass is kg and for acceleration is m${s}^{2}$. So if a Joule $=Newton \times meter$, it equals $kgm{s}^{2}times m$. The x meter makes the meter
on top squared so you get Joules $= kg{m^2}$${s}^{-2}$. 

Which of the following will give $1J$ of work?

  1. $F=1N,S=1m,\theta={0}^{0}$

  2. $F=1N,S=1m,\theta={90}^{0}$

  3. $F=0.1N,S=1m,\theta={0}^{0}$

  4. $F=0.1N,S=10m,\theta={90}^{0}$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$W=F.S.cos\theta$
For $F=1, S=1, \theta={0}^{0}$, $W=1\times1{\times}cos{0}^{0}=1 J$

$4.0\times{10}^{-19}J=$

  1. $1eV$

  2. $2eV$

  3. $2.5eV$

  4. $5eV$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$1eV=1.6\times{10}^{-19}J$


$\therefore{4.0}\times{10}^{-19}J=\dfrac{4.0\times{10}^{-19}}{1.6\times{10}^{-19}}eV=2.5eV$
