In an oscillating spring mass system, a spring is connected to a box filled with sand. As the box oscillates, sand leaks slowly out of the box vertically so that the average frequency $\omega(t)$ and average amplitude $A(t)$ of the system change with time t. Which one of the following options schematically depicts these changes … Read more

A balloon is made of a material of surface tension S and its inflation outlet (from where gas is filled in it) has small area A. It is filled with a gas of density $\rho$ and takes a spherical shape of radius R. When the gas is allowed to flow freely out of it, its … Read more

Consider the diameter of a spherical object being measured with the help of a Vernier callipers. Suppose its 10 Vernier Scale Divisions (V.S.D.) are equal to its 9 Main Scale Divisions (M.S.D.). The least division in the M.S. is 0.1 cm and the zero of V.S. is at $x=0.1$ cm when the jaws of Vernier callipers are closed.
If the main scale reading for the diameter is $M=5$ cm and the number of coinciding vernier division is 8, the measured diameter after zero error correction, is

Two gases A and B are filled at the same pressure in separate cylinders with movable pistons of radius $r_{A}$ and $r_{B}$, respectively. On supplying an equal amount of heat to both the systems reversibly under constant pressure, the pistons of gas A and B are displaced by 16 cm and 9 cm, respectively. If … Read more
