State whether true or false.
A couple can never be replaced by a single force.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A couple is defined as a pair of two equal and opposite parallel forces acting along two different lines. A couple can produce roatation in the body but not the translational motion. A single force can produce translation motion in the body. Thus the given statement is true that a couple can never be replaced by a single force.

State whether true or false.
A couple tends to produce motion in a straight line.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Couple tends to rotate the body but it does not produce translational motion. Thus the given statement is false.

State whether true or false.
Only a couple can produce pure rotation in a body.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A couple is defined as a pair of two equal and opposite parallel forces acting along two different lines. Since net force acting on the body is zero, so the body is in translatory equilibrium. A couple produces torque which rotates the body. Thus the given statement is true that only a couple can produce pure rotation in a body.

While opening a tap with two fingers, the forces applied by the fingers are:

  1. equal in magnitude

  2. parallel to each other

  3. opposite in direction

  4. all the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A couple has to be applied to the tap in order to open it. A couple is the combination of two equal and opposite parallel forces acting at different axes. Thus option D is correct.

$ML^2T^{-2}$ is the dimensional formula for

  1. moment of inertia

  2. pressure

  3. elasticity

  4. couple acting on a body


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$\left[ MOI \right] =\left[ M{ R }^{ 2 } \right] =\left[ { M }^{ 1 }{ L }^{ 2 }{ T }^{ 0 } \right] \ \left[ Pressure \right] =\left[ N/{ M }^{ 2 } \right] =\left[ { M }^{ 1 }{ L }^{ -1 }{ T }^{ -2 } \right] \ \left[ Couple \right] =\left[ N.{ M } \right] =\left[ { M }^{ 1 }{ L }^{ 2 }{ T }^{ -2 } \right] $

An automobile engine develops $100$ $kW$ when rotating at a speed of $1800\ rev/min$. The torque it delivers is

  1. $3.33\ N-m$

  2. $200\ N-m$

  3. $530.5\ N-m$

  4. $2487\ N-m$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$Power\quad P=100kW\quad =100000W\ w=1800\times \cfrac { 2\pi  }{ 60 } \quad rad/s\ \quad =60\pi \quad rad/s\ P=torque\times w\ torque=530.5\quad Nm$

 Years Production of Car P  Production of Car Q Production of Car R

Direction (1-2) : Study the following table which shows the production of three different types of cars over the years.
The difference between the total production of three cars in the year $2004$ and $2006$ is _____.

  1. $11$

  2. $43$

  3. $31$

  4. $28$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Total production of cars In year $2004$
$= 70 + 54 + 31 = 155$
Total production of cars in year $2006$
$= 80 + 68 + 38 = 186$
Hence, difference between the total production of three cars in the year $2004$ and $2006$
$= 186- 155 = 31$

 Years Production of Car P  Production of Car Q Production of Car R 
2001  76  59  28
2002  82  62  36
2003  65  47 42 
2004  70  54  31

Direction (1-2) : Study the following table which shows the production of three different types of cars over the years.
The average production of which of the following types of cars was maximum?

  1. $Q$

  2. $P$

  3. $R$

  4. All are equal


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Average production of Car $P$
$=$ $\dfrac {\text{Sum of production of Car P in each year}}{\text{Total number of years}}$
$=$ $\dfrac {76 + 82 + 65 + 70 + 85 + 80}{6}$ $=$ $\dfrac {458}{6}$ $= 76.33$
Average production of Car $Q$
$=$ $\dfrac {59 + 62 + 47 + 54 + 57 + 68}{6}$ $=$ $\dfrac {347}{6}$ $= 57.83$
Average production of Car $R$
$=$ $\dfrac {28 + 36 + 42 + 31 + 49 + 38}{6}$ $=$ $\dfrac {224}{6}$ $= 37.33$
Clearly, average production of Car $P$ is greater than Car $Q$ and Car $R$.
Hence, the average production of Car $P$ is maximum.

ENERGY OF AN ORBITING SATELLITE
In motion of an object under the gravitational influence of another object. Which of the following quantities is not conserved?

  1. Angular momentum

  2. mass of an object

  3. Total mechanical energy

  4. Linear momentum


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

While considering the motion of an object under the gravitational influence of another object, angular momentum and total mechanical energy are conserved.Linear momentum is not conserved

The minimum distance of a satellite from the centre of the earth is 3R, where R is the radius of 2GM What is the earth. The mass of earth is M. The maximum speed of the satellite is $\sqrt { \frac { 2 G M } { 3 R } }$ radius of curvature at the point of minimum distance?

  1. 6 R

  2. 4 R

  3. 3 R

  4. $\frac { 9 R } { 2 }$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$\begin{array}{l} F=\dfrac { { G\left( M \right) m } }{ { { { \left( { 3R } \right)  }^{ 2 } } } }  \ \Rightarrow a=\dfrac { { GM } }{ { 9{ R^{ 2 } } } }  \ \therefore \dfrac { { { V^{ 2 } } } }{ { R' } } =a \ \Rightarrow \dfrac { { 2GM } }{ { 3R.R' } } =\dfrac { { GM } }{ { 9{ R^{ 2 } } } }  \ \Rightarrow R'=6R \ Hence, \ option\, \, A\, \, is\, \, correct\, \, answer. \end{array}$
