SECTION-II (MULTIPLE ANSWER(S) CORRECT TYPE)

This section contains 10 multiple choice questions. Each question has 4 choices (A), (B), (C)
and (D) for its answer, out which ONE OR MORE is/are correct.
(+4, –2)
Partial Marks: +1 For darkening a bubble corresponding to each correct option. Provided
NO incorrect option is darkened. In all other cases, minus (–2) mark will be awarded in these
parts.
For Example: If (A), (C) and (D) are all the correct options for a question, darkening all these
three will result in +4 marks; darkening only (A) and (D) will result in +2 marks; and
darkening (A) and (B) will result in –2 marks, as a wrong option is also darkened.

6. A solid sphere moves at a terminal velocity of 20 m/s in air at a place where g = 9.8 m/s2. Neglect
buoyant force of air. The sphere is taken in a gravity free hall having air at the same pressure and
pushed down at a speed of 20 m/s -
(A) Its initial acceleration will be 9.8 m/s2 downward
(B) Its initial acceleration will be 9.8 m/s2 upward
(C) The magnitude of acceleration will decrease as the time passes
(D) None

6. (BC)
In gravity free space, the sphere will only experience viscous force. At terminal velocity viscous
force had a magnitude equal to mg. Hence in gravity free space, the initial acceleration will be
9.8 m/s2 upwards. Since speed will decrease, so magnitude of acceleration will also decrease and
eventually it will stop.

7. A container of width 2a is filled with a liquid. A thin wire of mass per unit length µ is gently placed
on the middle of the surface as shown in the figure. As a result the liquid surface is depressed by a
distance y. The surface tension of liquid is given by

g g
(A)   (B)  
2 cos  2sin 
ga ga
(C) If y << a, then   (D) If y << a, then  
2y y
7. (BC)
Let σ be the surface tension of the liquid and l be the length of the wire.
Weight of wire is W  lg and force due to surface tension is f = σl.
The forces acting on the wire are shown in figure,

The horizontal components f cos  cancel each other but he vertical components f sin  add up.
Therefore, for equilibrium, we have
2 f sin   W
or 2l sin   lg
ga
or   ... 1
2 sin 
It is clear from the diagram that
y
tan  
a
If y << a, angle θ will be very small and tan θ = sin θ where θ is in radian. Thus
y
sin   ...  2 
a
Using (2) in (1), we get
ga

2y
Hence the correct choices are (B) and (C).

8. n drops of a liquid, each with surface energy E, join to form a single drop. What happens?

CENTERS: MUMBAI / DELHI /AKOLA /KOLKATA /NASHIK / PUNE / GHAZIABAD / BOKARO / DUBAI # 4
 (A) Some energy will be released in the process.
(B) Some energy will be absorbed in the process.
(C) The energy released or absorbed will be E (n – n2/3).
(D) The energy released or absorbed will be nE[2 2/3 – 1].

8. (AC)
Let S = surface tension = surface energy per unit area,
r = radius of each small drop, R = radius of a single drop.
4 4
n  r 3  R 3 n or R  rn1/3
3 3
Initial surface energy = Ei = n × 4r2 × S = nE.
Final surface energy = Ef = 4R2 S = 4r2 n2/3. S = n 2/3 E.
So, energy released = Ei – Ef = E(n – n 2/3).

10. Consider two soap bubbles of different radii connected to each other via a tube with a valve. As soon
as the valve is opened, select the correct statements :
(A) Air flows from smaller bubble to bigger bubble
(B) Air flows from bigger bubble to smaller bubble
(C) Pressure inside the smaller bubble increases
(D) Pressure inside the smaller bubble decreases.
10. (AC)
Air flows from higher pressure to lower pressure.
Since smaller bubble has higher excess pressure air flows from smaller bubble to bigger bubble.
Hence smaller bubble becomes even smaller and hence pressure increases.
