 This section contains SEVEN questions.

 Each question has FOUR options (A), (B), (C) and (D). ONLY ONE of these four options is
correct.
 For each question, darken the bubble corresponding to the correct option in the ORS.
 For each question, marks will be awarded in one of the following categories:
Full Marks : +3 If only the bubble corresponding to the correct option is
darkened.
Zero Marks : 0 If none of the bubbles is darkened.
Negative marks : –1 In all other cases.

1. A chain of length L is placed on a horizontal surface as shown in figure. At any instant X is the
length of chain on rough surface and the remaining portion lies on smooth surface. Initially X = 0. A
horizontal force P is applied to the chain (as shown in figure). In the duration X changes from X = 0
to X = L for chain to move with constant speed -

(A) The magnitude of P should increase with time
(B) The magnitude of P should decrease with time
(C) The magnitude of P should increase first and then decrease with time
(D) The magnitude of P should decrease first and then increase with time
1. (A)
For chain to move with constant speed P needs to be equal to frictional force on the chain as the
length of chain on the rough surface increases. Hence the friction force fK = µK N increases.

shown. The mercury comes out from this hole with speed v equal to –

Here,  is the density of mercury.

11. A block A (5 kg) rests over another block B (3 kg) placed over a smooth horizontal surface. There is
friction between A and B. A horizontal force F1 gradually increasing from zero to a maximum is
applied to A so that the blocks move together without relative motion. In the second case a
horizontal force F2 gradually increasing from zero to a maximum is applied to B so that the blocks
move together without relative motion. Then

12. A ladder AB is supported by a smooth vertical wall and rough horizontal floor as shown. A boy
starts moving from A to B slowly. The ladder remains at rest, then pick up the correct statement(s) :

(A) Magnitude of normal reaction by wall on ladder at point B will increase.

(B) Magnitude of normal reaction by wall on ladder at point B will decrease.
(C) Magnitude of normal reaction by floor on ladder at pointAwill remain unchanged.
(D) Magnitude of friction force by floor on ladder at pointAwill increase.
12. (ACD)
Let m and M be mass of man and ladder. From FBD normal reaction at A is N1
= (m + M)g which remains constant. Net torque on man + ladder is zero about
B. If x decreases then torque of mg about B will decrease. Hence f must
increase.

A large tank of cross-section area A contains liquid of density  . A cylinder of density  4 and
length  and cross- section area a (a<<A) is kept in equilibrium by applying an external vertically
downward force as shown in the figure. The cylinder is just submerged in liquid. At t = 0 the external
force is removed instantaneously. Assume that water level in the tank remains constant.
