Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula T = frac2 m_1 m_2m_1 + m_2 g textStrain = fracDelta ellell = fracFA Y = fracTA Y ### Core Logic First, determine the tension T in the wire produced by the accelerating system (Atwood machine). Then, apply the formula for longitudinal strain using the calculated tension, cross-sectional area, and Young's Modulus. ### Step 1: Calculate Tension T = left( frac2 times 2 times 42 + 4 right) g = left( frac166 right) times 10 = frac1606 = frac803 text N ### Step 2: Calculate Area Given radius r = 4.0 times 10^-5 text m. A = pi r^2 = pi (4 times 10^-5)^2 = 16pi times 10^-10 text m^2 ### Step 3: Calculate Strain textStrain = fracTA Y = frac80/3(16pi times 10^-10) times (2 times 10^11) textStrain = frac80/332pi times 10 = frac803 times 320pi = frac112pi ### Step 4: Extract Alpha Comparing with frac1alpha pi: alpha = 12 ### Pattern Recognition Linkage problem: Mechanics (Atwood tension) to Solids (Strain). Memorize Atwood tension T = 2m_1m_2g/(m_1+m_2) to skip drawing free body diagrams during exams. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Mechanical Properties of Solids Class 11 Physics: Laws of Motion

Q58 jee_main_2024_31_jan_morning Bulk Modulus
The depth below the surface of sea to which a rubber ball be taken so as to decrease its volume by 0.02\% is ________ mathrmm. (Take density of sea water = 10^3mathrm\ kgm^-3, Bulk modulus of rubber = 9 times 10^8mathrm\ Nm^-2, and g = 10mathrm\ ms^-2)
Numerical Answer. Answer: 18 to 18

Solution

### Related Formula beta = frac-Delta PfracDelta VV Delta P = rho g h ### Core Logic The change in pressure Delta P is the hydrostatic pressure at depth h. Delta P = -beta fracDelta VV rho g h = -beta fracDelta VV ### Step 2: Calculation Given values: rho = 10^3mathrm\,kg/m^3 g = 10mathrm\,m/s^2 beta = 9 times 10^8mathrm\,N/m^2 fracDelta VV = -0.02\% = -frac0.02100 Substitute into the equation: 10^3 times 10 times h = - (9 times 10^8) times left(-frac0.02100right) 10^4 times h = 9 times 10^8 times 2 times 10^-4 10^4 h = 18 times 10^4 h = 18mathrm\,m ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Mechanical Properties Of Solids Class 11 Physics: Mechanical Properties Of Fluids
