A rectangular block of wood floats in water with two-thirds of its volume immersed. When placed in another liquid, it floats with half of its volume immersed. Calculate the relative density of the liquid
A
1.43
B
1.33
C
1.00
D
0.83
correct option: e
R.D = (\frac{\text{volume of liquid displaced}}{\text{volume of water displaced}})
If \(\theta\) is equal to \(\alpha\) at the time the box is just about to slide down the plank, the coefficient of static friction between the plank and box is
A
sin\(\alpha\)
B
cos\(\alpha\)
C
tan\(\alpha\)
D
sec\(\alpha\)
correct option: c
(\mu = \frac{F}{R} = \frac{W sin \theta}{W cos q})
a pilot records the atmospheric pressure outside his plane as 63cm of Hg while a ground observer records a reading of 75cm of Hg with his barometer. Assuming that the density of air is constant, calculate the height of the plane above the ground. (take the relative densities of air and mecury as 0.00136 and 13.6 respectively)
A
120m
B
138m
C
274m
D
1200m
correct option: d
pressure change for air = pressure change for mercury
An object is protected with a velocity of 100m-1 at an angle of 60o to the vertical. Calculate the time taken by the object to reach the highest point (Take g as 10ms-2
The earth is not a perfect sphere because its equatorial axis is longer than the polar axis. where on the earth's surface would an object have its greatest weight?
