projected up the plane with some initial speed along the incline. Coefficient of friction between
block and the plane is µ. Block moves up the plane and comes to rest after time t1. Then it
again starts sliding down and reaches the bottom in further time t2.

Q34 Case Study 4
Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers,
and material elements sliding against each other.[2] There are several types of
friction:

• Dry friction is a force that opposes the relative lateral motion of two solid
surfaces in contact. Dry friction is subdivided into static friction ("stiction")
between non-moving surfaces, and kinetic friction between moving surfaces.
With the exception of atomic or molecular friction, dry friction generally
arises from the interaction of surface features, known as asperities (see
Figure 1).
• Fluid friction describes the friction between layers of a viscous fluid that
are moving relative to each other.[3][4]

• Lubricated friction is a case of fluid friction where a lubricant fluid

separates two solid surfaces.[5][6][7]

• Skin friction is a component of drag, the force resisting the motion of a

fluid across the surface of a body.
• Internal friction is the force resisting motion between the elements making
up a solid material while it undergoes deformation.[4]
When surfaces in contact move relative to each other, the friction between the
two surfaces converts kinetic energy into thermal energy (that is, it
converts work to heat). This property can have dramatic consequences, as
illustrated by the use of friction created by rubbing pieces of wood together to
start a fire. Kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy whenever motion with
friction occurs, for example when a viscous fluid is stirred. Another important
consequence of many types of friction can be wear, which may lead to
performance degradation or damage to components. Friction is a component of
the science of tribology.
Friction is desirable and important in supplying traction to facilitate motion on
land. Most land vehicles rely on friction for acceleration, deceleration and
changing direction. Sudden reductions in traction can cause loss of control and
accidents.
Friction is not itself a fundamental force. Dry friction arises from a combination
of inter-surface adhesion, surface roughness, surface deformation, and surface
contamination. The complexity of these interactions makes the calculation of
friction from first principles impractical and necessitates the use of empirical
methods for analysis and the development of theory.
Friction is a non-conservative force – work done against friction is path
dependent. In the presence of friction, some kinetic energy is always
transformed to thermal energy, so mechanical energy is not conserved.
(i) What type of friction comes into play when substance goes
on deformation?
(ii) What term used for supply of friction during motion on land?
(iii) Friction is component of the science of ……….?
OR
(iv) Is it correct to say that friction is fundamental force?
Q35
4

A geostationary satellite is an earth-orbiting satellite, placed at an altitude of

approximately 35,800 kilometers (22,300 miles) directly over the equator, that
revolves in the same direction the earth rotates (west to east). At this altitude,
one orbit takes 24 hours, the same length of time as the earth requires to rotate
once on its axis. The term geostationary comes from the fact that such a satellite
appears nearly stationary in the sky as seen by a ground-based observer. BGAN,
the new global mobile communications network, uses geostationary satellites.

A single geostationary satellite is on a line of sight with about 40 percent of the

earth's surface. Three such satellites, each separated by 120 degrees of longitude,
can provide coverage of the entire planet, with the exception of small circular
regions centered at the north and south geographic poles. A geostationary
satellite can be accessed using a directional antenna, usually a small dish, aimed
at the spot in the sky where the satellite appears to hover. The principal
advantage of this type of satellite is the fact that an earthbound directional
antenna can be aimed and then left in position without further adjustment.
Another advantage is the fact that because highly directional antennas can be
used, interference from surface-based sources, and from other satellites, is
minimized.
Geostationary satellites have two major limitations. First, because the orbital
zone is an extremely narrow ring in the plane of the equator, the number of
satellites that can be maintained in geostationary orbits without mutual conflict
(or even collision) is limited. Second, the distance that an electromagnetic
(EM) signal must travel to and from a geostationary satellite is a minimum of
71,600 kilometers or 44,600 miles. Thus, a latency of at least 240 milliseconds is
introduced when an EM signal, traveling at 300,000 kilometers per second
(186,000 miles per second), makes a round trip from the surface to the satellite
and back.
There are two other, less serious, problems with geostationary satellites. First,
the exact position of a geostationary satellite, relative to the surface, varies
slightly over the course of each 24-hour period because of gravitational
interaction among the satellite, the earth, the sun, the moon, and the non-
terrestrial planets. As observed from the surface, the satellite wanders within a
rectangular region in the sky called the box. The box is small, but it limits the
sharpness of the directional pattern, and therefore the power gain, that earth-
based antennas can be designed to have. Second, there is a dramatic increase in
background EM noise when the satellite comes near the sun as observed from a
receiving station on the surface, because the sun is a powerful source of EM
energy. This effect, known as solar fade, is a problem only within a few days of
the equinoxes in late March and late September. Even then, episodes last for
only a few minutes and take place only once a day.
In recent years, low earth orbit (LEO) satellite systems have become popular.
This type of system employs a fleet or swarm of satellites, each in a polar orbit
at an altitude of a few hundred kilometers. Each revolution takes between 90
minutes and a few hours. Over the course of a day, such a satellite comes within
range of every point on the earth's surface for a certain period of time. The
satellites in a LEO swarm are strategically spaced so that, from any point on the
surface, at least one satellite is always on a line of sight. The satellites thus act as
moving repeaters in a global cellular network. A LEO satellite system allows the
use of simple, non-directional antennas, offers reduced latency, and does not
suffer from solar fade. These facts are touted as advantages of LEO systems over
geostationary satellites
(i) For what the term BGAN is used?
(ii) What is limitation of geostationary satellite?
(iii) For what the LEO is used?
OR
(iv) What distance to and from the satellite, EM signal has to
travel?

[K], luminous intensity [cd], and amount of substance [mol]. The dimensions of a physical
quantity are the powers (or exponents) to which the base quantities are raised to represent that
quantity. Note that using the square brackets [ ] round a quantity means that we are dealing
with ‘the dimensions of’ the quantity. In mechanics, all the physical quantities can be written
in terms of the dimensions [L], [M] and [T]. For example, the volume occupied by an object
is expressed as the product of length, breadth and height, or three lengths. Hence the
dimensions of volume are [L] × [L] × [L] = [L3].

3. Which of the following quantity is dimensionless

OR
4. Which of the following is not an application of dimensional analysis
(a) conversion of one system of units into units of other systems
(b) to check the dimensional balance of an equation
(c) to established the relationship among various physical quantities
(d) to find the value of the dimensional constant
Q 35. Kelvin-Planck statement: No process is possible whose sole result is the absorption
of heat from a reservoir and the complete conversion of the heat into work.
Clausius statement: No process is possible whose sole result is the transfer of heat from a
colder object to a hotter object. It can be proved that the two statements above are completely
equivalent.
A thermodynamic process is reversible if the process can be turned back such that both the
system and the surroundings return to their original states, with no other change anywhere
else in the universe. a reversible process is an idealized motion. A process is reversible only if
it is quasi-static (system in equilibrium with the surroundings at every stage) and there are no
dissipative effects. For example, a quasi-static isothermal expansion of an ideal gas in a
cylinder fitted with a frictionless movable piston is a reversible process.
The free expansion of a gas is irreversible. The combustion reaction of a mixture of petrol
and air ignited by a spark cannot be reversed. Cooking gas leaking from a gas cylinder in the
kitchen diffuses to the entire room. The diffusion process will not spontaneously reverse and
bring the gas back to the cylinder. The stirring of a liquid in thermal contact with a reservoir
will convert the work done into heat, increasing the internal energy of the reservoir. The
process cannot be reversed exactly; otherwise, it would amount to conversion of heat entirely
into work, violating the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Irreversibility is a rule rather an
exception in nature.

1. what is an irreversible process ?

2. which physical quantity is defined by the first law of thermodynamics?
3. write two necessary conditions required to achieve reversible process?
OR
4. Explain how Kelvin-Planck and Clausius statements are complementary to each
other?

Variation of g with height: Let g0h be the acceleration due to
gravity at a point B at a height h above the earth’s surface

If h << R, then using Binomial Expansion, we get

Thus, from Eqn. (3), we conclude that acceleration due to gravity

decreases with height.

24 According to Newton the change in pressure & volume in air is an 2
𝑝
isothermal process.Therefore, he calculated, 𝑣 = √𝜌 on
substituting the require value he found, the velocity of sound was
not in close agreement with the observation value. Then Laplace
pointed out the error in Newton’s formula. According to Laplace
the change in pressure and volume is an adiabatic process. So he
Ƴ𝑟
calculated the value of sound as, 𝑣 = √ 𝜌 on putting require value
he found velocity of sound as 332m/s very closed to observed
theory.
25 We know that in any position for a displacement of y from the 2
mean position, the K.E. and P.E. are given by the expressions:
Ek = 1/2 mω2 (r2 – y2) ….(1)
Ep = ½ mω2y2 …..(2)
Where m = mass of the particle
y = displacement from the mean position
ω = its angular frequency
r = amplitude of oscillation of the particle
Now for Ek = Ep, we get

26 Path of a projectile is parabolic 1+1+1 3

Let the body be projected with velocity u inclined at angle θ with
the horizontal. The horizontal and vertical components of velocity
and acceleration are
Ux, ax, and Uy, ay where
ux = u cos θ, Uy = u sin θ, ax = 0, ay = -g
where g is the acceleration due to gravity.

The coordinates of O are (0, 0). Considering horizontal motion,

The position of the body after time t has coordinates (x, y) where
x (t) = Xo + ux t + 1/2 ax × t2

Substituting for various factors

x(t) = 0 + u cos θ . t + 0
x(t) = u cos θ t

Equation of trajectory:
Substituting for t from eq. (1) in eq. (2), we get

This is an equation of a parabola. Thus, the path of a projectile is a

parabola.

Maximum height attained: At the maximum height, the vertical

component of velocity becomes O (zero). Now using the equation
of motion

Time of flight of the projectile: The projectile after completing its

flight returns back to the same horizontal level from which it was
projected. Therefore, the vertical displacement in the whole flight
is zero. Considering vertical motion.
Therefore, either T = 0 or u sin θ – 12 g T = 0
T = 0 corresponds to the initial (starting) position,

Equation gives the total time of flight This is twice the time for
maximum height.

OR
It states that if two vectors can be represented completely (i.e. both
in magnitude and direction) by the two adjacent sides of a
parallelogram drawn from a point then their resultant is represented
completely by its diagonal drawn from the same point.

Proof: Let P and Q be the two vectors represented completely by

the adjacent sides OA and OB of the parallelogram OACB s.t.
OA−→− = P, OB−→− = Q
or
| OA−→− | = |P|, | OB−→− | = |Q|

θ = angle between them = ∠AOB

If R be their resultant, then it will be represented completely by the

diagonal OC through point O s.t. OC = R
The magnitude of R: Draw CD ⊥ to OA produced,
 eqn. (vii) gives the magnitude of R.

The direction of R: Let β be the angle made by R with P

∴ in rt. ∠d ΔODC,

27 The motion of a car on a banked road taking into account the 3

friction between the tires and the road.
The following forces act on the car:

1. Its weight mg acting vertically downwards.

2. Reaction R of the road acts at an angle θ to the
verticle.
3. The force of friction between the tires and the road
acts along the road inwardly.

Let us resolve f and R into rectangular components along with

horizontal and vertical directions as shown in the figure.
 Necessary centripetal force required for motion around the circular
path i.e.

R sin θ + f cos θ = mv2r ….(5)

Dividing (5) by (4), we get

Dividing on L.H.S. by R cos θ in numerator and denominator, we

get

Equation (6) gives the maximum speed for safely negotiating a

curve on a banked road.

28 Principle: This device uses Pascal’s law. It is an arrangement used 3

to multiply force. It consists of two cylinders C and C’ of different
areas of cross-section fitted with frictionless pistons connected to
each other with a pipe.

Action: In hydraulic lift greater force is generated using a smaller

force.
Let a, A = area of cross-section of smaller and bigger cylinders
respectively,
 f = force applied on the smaller piston.
P = pressure applied on the liquid f
∴ P = fa
According to Pascal’s law, the same pressure is transmitted to the
larger piston.
If F be the force transmitted to the larger piston, then

Thus a heavy load placed on the larger piston is lifted easily.

29 Basic assumptions of Kinetic Theory of Gases 3

Consider a perfect gas is filled in cubical vessel of side ‘l’ as shown

below,

By assumptions of kinetic theory of gases, the gas molecules are

constantly moving in all possible direction with all possible
velocities. Therefore they possess momentum thus exerts pressure
on wall of container.
N= number of molecules of gas.
m=mass of each molecule of gas.
M=Nm= Total mass of gas.
A= l2= Area of face of cube.
V= l3= Volume of cube.
ρ=M/V= Density of gas.
Imagine that the gas molecules are moving in XYZ co-ordinate
axes with different velocities C1, C2…CN. Let u1,v1,w1 are the
components of velocity C1 along X, Y and Z axes respectively.
Consider a gas molecule of mass m is moving along X axis with
velocity u1.Then its initial momentum is given as,
initial momentum=mu1
The gas molecule will collide on wall of container and moves in
opposite direction with velocity – u1, therefore the final momentum
of gas molecule is,
final momentum=-mu1
The Change in momentum of gas molecule per unit collision
= Final momentum- Initial momentum.
= -mu1– mu1
= -2 mu1
∴ The Change in momentum of gas molecule per unit collision = |-
2 mu1 |
∆P = 2 mu1 ……….(1)
The distance travelled by gas molecule during this collision is ‘2l’
with velocity u1.
∴ Time taken by molecule during this collision,
t = 2l/u_1 ……………(2)
Then according to Newton’s second law, force exerted by this
molecule is given as,
∴f1 = change in momentum)/time
This is an expression for the pressure exerted by the gas when
contained in a vessel.
OR
Boyle’s law: It states that P ∝ 1V if T = constant.
Derivation: We know from the kinetic theory of gases that
 Here R = constant
If T = constant, then PV = constant
Charles’ law: It states that for a given mass of a gas, the volume of
the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the
gas if pressure is constant
i. e. V ∝ T.
Derivation: We know that
PV = 1/3MC2= 1/3mNC2
where N = Avogadro’s no.
Also, we know that mean K..E. of a molecule is

If P = constant, then V ∝ T. Hence proved.

30 Progressive waves: 3

1. The disturbance travels onward. It is1 handed over

from one particle to the next.
2. Energy is transported in the medium along with the
propagation of waves.
3. Each particle of the medium executes S.H.M. with
the same amplitude.
4. No particle of the medium is permanently at rest.
5. Changes in pressure and density are the same at all
points of the medium.
Stationary waves:

1. The disturbance is confined to a particular region and

there is no onward motion.
2. No energy is transported in the medium.
3. All the particles of the medium except at nodes
execute S.H.M. with different amplitude.
4. The particles of the medium at nodes are at rest.
5. The changes of pressure and density are maximum at
nodes and minimum at antinodes.

31 (a) 2+3 5
(b) m = 0.02 kg, M = 100 kg, v = 80 ms-1, V = ?

OR
(a)
Following are the laws of friction:
1. The direction of the force of friction is always opposite to the
direction of relative motion i.e. motion of the body over the surface
of another body.

It can be seen easily that if a ball is rolled on the floor, it will be

stopped after traveling through some distance if no other force is
applied to it. This is because the force of friction that comes into
play opposes the motion and slows down the ball which finally
comes to rest.

2. The force of friction always acts tangentially along the surfaces

of contact of the two bodies.

3. The magnitude of the limiting friction (F) is always directly

proportional to the normal reaction (R) between the two surfaces
i.e.
F∝R
or
F = μR

If we take two bodies of masses m1 and m2 s.t. m1 > m2. We apply

forces F1 and F2 which just move these bodies on a surface. We
find that F1 > F2. The body of mass m presses the surface by a force
m1g, and the surface exerts normal reaction R1 on it equal to m1g.
Thus F1 ∝ R1 or F ∝ m1g.
Similarly F2 ∝ R2
 4. The force of friction depends on the nature of smoothness or the
state of polishing of the surfaces in contact.

Let us have a wooden plank on which blocks of wood, copper, and

glass of the same mass are placed. These are pulled by a spring
balance. We find that spring balance shows different readings for
just starting the motion.
Hence we conclude that friction depends on the nature of the
surfaces in contact.

5. The force of friction is independent of the area of the surface of

contact of two bodies as long as the normal reaction is constant.

The force applied to slide the body is the same but the contact area
is different for the wooden block placed on a wooden plank.

(b)

32 (a) It states that the work done on a body is equal to the change in 5
its kinetic energy.
i.e. W = change in kinetic energy
Proof: Let m = mass of a body moving in a straight line with a
constant initial velocity u.

Let F = force applied on it at point A to B so that its velocity is V at

B.
If dx = small displacement from P to Q
and a = acceleration produced in the body, then
F = ma
If dw be the work done from P to Q, then
If W = total work done from A to B, then

(b)

Here, for collision to happen, V1>V2

velocity of approach =U1−U2 [velocity w.r.t]

velocity of separation =V2−V2 [vel.w.r.t]

As we know,
Coefficient of restitution (e) =vel.of approach /vel.of seperation

∴e=U1−U2V2−V1........(1)

and, e=1 for elastic collision.

1=U1−U2V2−V1

U1−U2=V2−V1.

So,

velocity of approach=velocity of separation

(Or any other method)

OR
(a) It states that energy can neither be created nor can be destroyed
but it can be changed from one form of energy into another i.e.
total energy = constant.
Proof: Let a body of mass m be lying at rest at point A at a height h
above the ground. Let it be allowed to fall freely and reaches a
point B after falling through a distance x and it finally hits the
ground at point C. Let v and V be its velocities at points B and C
respectively.
∴ AB = x and BC = h – x

At point A: u = 0
∴ K.E. = 0
P.E. = mgh
If E be the total energy of the body, then
E = K.E. + P.E. = 0 + mgh
or
E = mgh …. (i)
At point B: using the relation,

At point C: Here, v = vc, a = g, s = h

Thus, from (i), (ii), and (iii), it is clear that total energy at points A,
B, and C is the same. It is purely P.E. at A and purely K.E. at point
C.

(b)
Consider a spring of natural length ‘L’ & spring constant ‘k’ its
length is increased by xo. Elastic potential energy of stretched
spring will be equal to total work done by the spring in regaining
its original length.

If in the process of regaining its natural length, at any instant

extension in the spring was x then force applied by spring is
F = kx
If spring normalizes its length by elementary distance dx opposite
to x under this force then work done by spring is
dW = F. (-dx) . Cos0
(force applied by spring F and displacement –dx taken opposite to
extension x are in same direction)
dW = -kxdx
Total work done by the spring in regaining its original length is
obtained in integrating dW from x0 to 0
0
W = ∫-kxdx
x0
0
or, W = -k[x2/2]
x0
or, W = - k ( 0 /2 - x02/2)
2

or, W = -k (0 - x02/2)

or, W = 1/2 kxo2

This work was stored in the body in the form of elastic potential
energy. E.P.E = 1/2 kxo2
 (Or any other method)

33 (a) It states that 5

Proof: Imagine an incompressible and non-viscous liquid flowing

through a pipe AB of varying cross¬sectional area as shown in Fig.
It enters from A and leaves

Let a1 and a2 be its area of the cross-section at A and B respectively

such that a1 > a2.
P1 and P2 be the pressures due to liquid at ends A and B
respectively such that P1 > P2 as the liquid flows from high to low
pressure.
Also, let v1 and v2 be the velocities of the liquid at A and B
respectively.
ρ = density of the liquid,
m = mass of liquid flowing per second from A to B.

Work done per second on the liquid at end A

= pressure × area × velocity
= P1a1v1 …. (ii)
and work done per second by the liquid at end B
= P2a2v2 …. (iii)
∴Net work done per second on the liquid by the pressure energy in
moving the liquid from A to B
When m flows in one second from end A to B, its height increases
from h1 to h2, and velocity increases from v1 to
v2.
∴ increase in potential energy / second from end A to B
= mgh2 – mgh1 …. (v)
∴ increase in K.L. second from end A to B

∴ According to the work-energy theorem, work done by pressure

energy/second = increase in (K.E. + P.E.) per second

(b) Velocity gradient dv/dx=25 s-1

η=120 poise= 12 deca poise
F=-ηXdv/dx X A=6 N
OR

(a) Let r = radius of a capillary tube immersed in a liquid

like water having surface tension T.
θ = angle of contact
ρ = density of liquid
R = radius of the meniscus
P = atmospheric pressure
Let h = height up to which the liquid rises in the capillary tube.
Let A and B be two points in the capillary tube where A is just
above the meniscus and B is just below it. Now the pressure on the
convex side is less than that on the concave side.
Pressure at A = P
Pressure at B = P – 2TR

The liquid rises in the capillary tube so that pressure at points D

and E which lie at the same horizontal level in the liquid become
equal.
 i.e. Pressure at E = Pressure at D = P
∴ Pressure at E = Pressure at B + Pressure due to liquid column of
height h

To calculate R: Let O be the center of curvature of the liquid

meniscus.
∴ θ = angle of contact
Now in rt. angled ΔOQL
