Dear students
Most students tend to take it easy after the board examinations of Class X. The summer
vacations immediately after Class X are a great opportunity for the students to race ahead of
other students in the competitive world of IITJEE, where less than 2% students get selected
every year for the prestigious institutes.
Some students get governed completely by the emphasis laid by the teachers of the school in
which they are studying. Since, the objective of the teachers in the schools rarely is to equip the
student with the techniques reqired to crack IITJEE, most of the students tend to take it easy in
Class XI. Class XI does not even have the pressure of board examinations.
So, while the teachers and the school environment is often not oriented towards the serious
preparation of IITJEE, the curriculum of Class XI is extremely important to achieve success in
IITJEE or any other competitive examination like AIEEE.
The successful students identify these points early in their Class XI and race ahead of rest of
the competition. We suggest that you start as soon as possible.
In this booklet we have made a sincere attempt to bring your focus to Class XI and keep your
velocity of preparations to the maximum. The formulae will help you revise your chapters in a
very quick time and the motivational quotes will help you move in the right direction.
Hope you’ll benefit from this book and all the best for your examinations.

(i) The viscous force between two layers of area A having velocity gradient (dv/dx) is given by: F = –
ηA (dv/dx), where η is called coefficient of viscosity
(i) In SI system, η is measured I Poiseiulle (Pl) 1Pl = 1Nsm–2 = 1 decapoise. In egs system, the unit
of η is g/cm/sec and is called POISE
(ii) When a spherical body is allowed to fall through viscous medium, its velocity increases, till the sum
of viscous drag and upthrust becomes equal to the weight of the body. After that the body moves
with a constant velocity called terminal velocity.
(iii) According to STOKE’s Law, the viscous drag on a spherical body moving in a fluid is given by: F =
6πηr v, where r is the radius and v is the velocity of the body.
2 r 2 (ρ − σ ) g
(iv) The terminal velocity is given by: v T =
9 η
where ρ is the density of the material of the body and σ is the density of liquid
(v) Rate of flow of liquid through a capillary tube of radius r and length l
π pr 4 p p
V= = =
8ηl 8ηl/πr 4 R
where p is the pressure difference between two ends of the capillary and R is the fluid resistance
(=8 ηl/πr4)
(vi) The matter which possess the property of flowing is called as FLUID (For example, gases and
liquids)
(vii) Pressure exerted by a column of liquid of height h is : P = hρg (ρ = density of the liquid)
(viii) Pressure at a point within the liquid, P = P0 + hρg, where P0 is atmospheric pressure and h is the
depth of point w.r.t. free surface of liquid
(ix) Apparent weight of the body immersed in a liquid Mg’ = Mg – Vρg
(x) If W be the weight of a body and U be the upthrust force of the liquid on the body then
(a) the body sinks in the liquid of W > U
(b) the body floats just completely immersed if W = U
(c) the body floats with a part immersed in the liquid if W < U

(viii) If mechanical work W produces the same temperature change as heat H, then we can write:
W = JH, where J is called mechanical equivalent of heat
(ix) The heat absorbed or given out by a body of mass m, when the temperature changes by ∆T is: ∆Q
= mc∆T, where c is a constant for a substance, called as SPECIFIC HEAT.
(x) HEAT CAPACITY of a body of mass m is defined as : ∆Q = mc
(xi) WATER EQUIVALENT of a body is numerically equal to the product of its mass and specific heat
i.e., W = mc

called LATENT HEAT

pressure and Cv = specific heat at constant volume]. Molar specific heats of a gas are: Cp = Mcp
and Cv = Mcv, where M = molecular weight of the gas.

STUDY TIPS
• Combination of Subjects
Study a combination of subjects during a day i. e. after studying 2–3 hrs of mathematics
shift to any theoretical subject for 2 horrs. When we study a subject like math, a
particular part of the brain is working more than rest of the brain. When we shift to a
theoretical subject, practically the other part of the brain would become active and the
part studying maths will go for rest.
• Revision
Always refresh your memory by revising the matter learned. At the end of the day you
must revise whatever you’ve learnt during that day (or revise the previous days work
before starting studies the next day). On an average brain is able to retain the newly
learned information 80% only for 12 hours, after that the forgetting cycle begins. After
this revision, now the brain is able to hold the matter for 7 days. So next revision should
be after 7 days (sundays could be kept for just revision). This ways you will get rid of the
problem of forgetting what you study and save a lot of time in restudying that topic.
