Questions 15 and 16 are Case Study based questions and are compulsory. Attempt any 4 sub

15. Q.15 In daily life, a body is said to be elastic if a large deformation produced or strain is produced 4
on applying given stress on it. In physics, elasticity is the property of the material of a body by
virtue of which it opposes any change in its size or shape when stress is applied on it. Due to
repeated stress and strain, spring of spring balance loses the elastic behavior. The spring of such a
balance takes longer time to recover its original configuration. During long use, a bridge suffers
alternating strains continuously. Consequently, the elastic strength of the bridge gets reduced.
After a long time, the bridge develops elastic fatigue and therefore there occurs a permanent
change in its structure.
(i) Elasticity means………………………….
a) Large deformation b) loss of strength
c) property of regaining the original shape d) not regaining the shape
(ii) A spring balance does not give correct reading when it has been used for a long time.
a) Not branded b) due to elastic fatigue
c) Rusting d) made up of alloy
(iii) Which is more elastic?
a) Rubber b) iron
c) Steel d) none of these
(iv)The bridges are declared unsafe after long use because---------
a) New one to build b) it may collapse due to elastic fatigue
c) old is gold so no need to build new d) due to increase in vehicles
(v) Rubber is………………………….
a) Elastic b) plastic
c) Elastomer d) none of these

16. Q16. Any motion repeating over and over at regular intervals of time is called periodic motion. If 4
it is back and forth as well, it is called vibratory or oscillatory or harmonic. Uniform circular
motion is an example of simple harmonic motion. S. H. M can be represented by X= A sin (wt+
φ) or X=A cos (wt+ φ) or combination of both. If we take an example X= 10sin (20t+0.5), where
 displacement is measured in meters and time in seconds, we can find different parameters related
to S. H.M just by comparing with the above equation.
