### Related Formula Definitions of physical quantities: 1. Viscosity: F = -eta A fracdvdx 2. Intensity: I = fractextPowertextArea 3. Pressure gradient: fracdPdx 4. Compressibility: K = frac1B = fractextStraintextStress ### Core Logic Let's calculate each dimensional formula: 1. **Coefficient of viscosity (eta):** [eta] = frac[F][A]left[fracdvdxright] = fractextM L T^-2textL^2 left(fractextL T^-1textLright) = textM L^-1textT^-1 Matches **(IV)**. 2. **Intensity of wave (I):** [I] = frac[textPower][textArea] = fractextM L^2textT^-3textL^2 = textM T^-3 = textM L^0textT^-3 Matches **(I)**. 3. **Pressure gradient (fracdPdx):** left[fracdPdxright] = frac[textPressure][textLength] = fractextM L^-1textT^-2textL = textM L^-2textT^-2 Matches **(II)**. 4. **Compressibility (K):** Compressibility is the inverse of Bulk Modulus: [K] = frac1[textPressure] = frac1textM L^-1textT^-2 = textM^-1textLtextT^2 Matches **(III)**. Thus: (A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(III). ### Step 1: Final Conclusion The correct option is (2). ### Pattern Recognition Target basic matching terms first: Compressibility is the reciprocal of pressure, giving [M^-1LT^2]. Wave intensity has units of power per unit area, giving [MT^-3]. This immediately isolates option (2). ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Units and Measurements Class 11 Physics: Mechanical Properties of Fluids Class 11 Physics: Mechanical Properties of Solids

Q38 jee_main_2024_27_jan_morning Measuring Instruments
Identify the physical quantity that cannot be measured using a spherometer:
  • A. textRadius of curvature of concave surface
  • B. textSpecific rotation of liquids
  • C. textThickness of thin plates
  • D. textRadius of curvature of convex surface

Solution

### Core Logic A spherometer is a mechanical instrument designed to measure small vertical displacements to calculate the thickness of thin plates or the radius of curvature of spherical (convex/concave) surfaces. Specific rotation of liquids is an optical property measured via a polarimeter, completely outside the scope of a spherometer. ### Pattern Recognition Spherometers operate purely on linear micrometer screw scale geometry, hence restricted strictly to spatial dimensions. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Units and Measurements
Q47 jee_main_2024_27_jan_morning Dimensional Analysis
Given below are two statements: Statement (I): Planck's constant and angular momentum have same dimensions. Statement (II): Linear momentum and moment of force have same dimensions. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
  • A. textStatement I is true but Statement II is false
  • B. textBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
  • C. textBoth Statement I and Statement II are true
  • D. textStatement I is false but Statement II is true

Solution

### Core Logic Evaluate dimensions step-by-step: 1. **Planck's constant (h)**: E = h u implies [h] = frac[E][ u] = fractextML^2textT^-2textT^-1 = textML^2textT^-1 2. **Angular momentum (L)**: L = mvr implies [L] = textM cdot textLT^-1 cdot textL = textML^2textT^-1 Since [h] = [L], Statement I is true. 3. **Linear momentum (P)**: P = mv implies [P] = textMLT^-1 4. **Moment of force (Torque tau)**: tau = F r implies [tau] = textMLT^-2 cdot textL = textML^2textT^-2 Since [P] neq [tau], Statement II is false. ### Pattern Recognition Planck's constant can always be paired with angular momentum units (Joule-seconds), while moment of force matches work/energy footprints, not translational momentum. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Units and Measurements
