2) This question paper has three sections. Section A, Section B and
Section C.
3) Section A contains three questions of two marks each, section B
contains eight questions of three marks each, Section C contains one
case based study question of five marks.
4) There is no overall choice. However an internal choice has been given
in one question of two marks and two questions of three marks. You
have to attempt only one of the choices in such questions.
5) You may use log tables if necessary but use of calculator is not allowed.

SECTION A

Q1) What is the basic condition for the motion of a particle to be in

S.H.M ?
Q2) A steel wire 0.72 m long has a mass of 5.0*10^-3 kg. If the wire is
under a tension of 60 N, what is the speed of transverse waves on the
wire?
Q3) What are beats? What is beat frequency?
OR
What is the essential condition for the formation of beats. A
tuning fork of unknown frequency gives 4 beats with a tunif fork of
frequency 319 Hz. It gives the same number of beats on filing.Find the
unknown frequency.

SECTION B
Q4) What is meant by elastic potential energy ?.Derive the expression
for the potential energy of a stretched wire.
Q5)Derive an expression for the excess pressure inside a liquid drop.
OR
 Derive an expression for the rise of liquid in a capillary tube and show
that the height of the liquid column is inversely proportional to the
radius of the tube.
Q 6.) A 0.2 kg of mass hangs at the end of a spring. When 0.02 kg more
mass is added to the end of the spring, it stretches by 7cm more. If the
0.02 kg mass is removed, what will be the period of vibration of the
system.
OR
The pan attached to a spring balance has a mass of 1kg. A weight of
2kg when placed on the pan stretches the spring by 10cms. What is the
frequency with which the empty pan will oscillate.
Q 7.)Name the different modes of heat transfer.
Explain why ice is packed in saw dust.
Q 8.)Applying the first law of thermodynamics , obtain the relation
between the two specific heats of a gas.
Q 9.)Show that the average K.E of a gas molecule is directly
proportional to the temperature of the gas. Hence give the kinetic
interpretation of temperature.
Q10.)Show that for small oscillations the motion of a simple pendulam
is simple harmonic. Derive an expression for its time period.
Q11.)What is latent heat?Give its S.I unit.Explain latent heat of fusion
and latent heat of vapourisation.

SECTION C
Q12.) Case Study: Bernoulli's Principle
Bernoulli's principle is valid for any fluid, it is especially important
to fluids moving at a high velocity. Its principle is the basis of
venturi scrubbers, thermo compressors, aspirators, and other
devices where fluids are moving at high velocities. The sum of
pressure (potential energy) and kinetic energy in any system is
constant i.e., energy is conserved if frictional losses are ignored.
Thus, when a fluid flows through areas of different diameters,
there is a change in velocity. The change in velocity leads to a
change in kinetic energy and so the pressure changes as well. A
decreased pipe diameter means an increase in velocity and kinetic
energy and a decrease in pressure.
 Bernoulli’s Principle is a consequence of conservation of
1
(a) Velocity
(b) Momentum
(c) Energy
(d)Mass
A fluid is flowing through a horizontal pipe. When the pipe is constricted, then,
2
(a) Velocity increases and pressure decreases
(b) Velocity decreases, pressure increases
(c) Both velocity and pressure increase
(d)Both velocity and pressure decrease
In which of the following types of flow is the Bernoulli’s theorem strictly applicable?
3
(a) Streamlined and rotational
(b) Turbulent and irrotational
(c) Turbulent and irrotational
(d)Streamlined and irrotational
4 The weight of an aero plane flying in air is balanced by
(a)Upthrust of the air which will be equal to the weight of the air having the same volume as the plane
(b) Force due to the pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the wings, created by
different air speeds on the surface
(c) Vertical component of the thrust created by air currents striking the lower surface of the wings
(d) Force due to the reaction of gases ejected by the revolving propeller
5 The Working of an atomizer depends upon
(a) Bernoulli's theorem
(b) Boyle's law
(c) Archimedes principle
(d) Newton's law of motions
