*Q.1 A block M hangs vertically at the bottom end of a uniform rope of constant mass per unit length. The top
ad
end of the rope is attached to a fixed rigid support at O. A transverse wave pulse (Pulse 1) of wavelength
0 is produced at point O on the rope. The pulse takes time TOA to reach point A. If the wave pulse of
wavelength 0 is produced at point A (Pulse 2) without disturbing the position of M it takes time TAO to
reach point O. Which of the following options is/are correct?

[A] The time TAO = TOA

[B] The velocities of the two pulses (Pulse 1 and Pulse 2) are the same at the midpoint of rope.

*Q.2 A human body has a surface area of approximately 1 m2. The normal body temperature is 10 K above the
surrounding room temperature T0. Take the room temperature to be T0 = 300 K. For T0 = 300 K, and the
value of  T04 =460 Wm-2 (where  is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant). Which of the following option is/are
correct?
[A] The amount of energy radiated by the body in 1 second is close to 60 Joules.
[B] If the surrounding temperature reduces by a small amount T0 <<T0, then to maintain the same body
temperature the same (living) human being needs to radiate W = 4 T03 T0 more energy per unit
time.
E - (1) Plutus Academy

[C] Reducing the exposed surface area of the body (e.g by curling up) allows humans to maintain the same
body temperature while reducing the energy lost by radiation.
[D] If the body temperature rises significantly then the peak in the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation
emitted by the body would shift to longer wavelengths.
Sol. C
 Heat radiated by body remains unchanged even after change in room temperature.
 Energy lost by the radiation depends upon the surface area.
 From Wien’s law mT = constant

Conjugate base of HClO4 has four canonical structures.

Equation of chord having mid point (h, k) is T = S1

* Q.44 The sides of a right angled triangle are in arithmetic progression. If the triangle has area 24, then what is the
length of its smallest side ?
Pl
Sol. 6
Let sides be a – d, a, a + d, (d > 0)
 a2 + (a – d)2 = (a + d)2
 a = 4d
 sides are 3d, 4d, 5d
As area is 24

* Q.45 For how many values of p, the circle x2 + y2 + 2x + 4y  p = 0 and the coordinate axes have exactly three
common points ?
Sol. 2
x2 + y2 + 2x + 4y – p = 0
(x + 1)2 + (y + 2)2 = p + 5
 p + 5 = 4 (when it touches the x-axis)
p = –1

charging continues for time T >> RC). In the process some dissipation (ED) occurs across the resistance R. The
amount of energy finally stored in the fully charged capacitor is EC.
