6.A large closed compartment containing gas is moving with some acceleration in horizontal directon. Neglect effect of gravity. Then the pressure in the compartment is [1999-2 marks]
a)same every where
b)lower in the front side
c)lower in the rear side
d) lower in the upper side
Ans.(b) Let the closed compartment containing gas move with horizontal acceleration a, along posi-tive side of x-axis. A pressure therefore acts on gas particles towards right. In the form of action, gas particles exert a pressure on the wall of the compartment towards right. In the form of reac-tion the wall exerts pressure on gas towards left. Hence the pressure is reduced on the front side.

JEE Main Previous Year Papers Questions With Solutions Physics Properties of Matter-9
a)l decreases and h increases
b)l increases and h decreases
c)both l and h increase
d)both l and h decrease
Ans.(d) When the coin falls from the top of block into water, the block moves upwards because now the weight of floating body becomes less.Hence / decreases.When the coin is on the block, an equal weight of water is displaced. Let V2 be volume of water when the coin falls into water. An equal volume of water is displaced. Let V1 be volume of water which Is equal to volume of the coin/body itself.Density of water < Density of coin. Hence ft will decrease. Thus both l and h decrease.

14.A glass tube of uniform internal radius (r) has a valve separating the two identical ends. Initially, the valve is in a tightly closed position. End 1 has a hemispherical soap bubble of radius R. End 2 has sub-hemispherical soap bubble as shown in figure. Just after opening the valve, [2008]
JEE Main Previous Year Papers Questions With Solutions Physics Properties of Matter-16
a)air from end 1 flows towards end 2. No change in the volume of the soap bubbles
b)air from end 1 flows towards end 2. Volume of the soap bubble at end 1 decreases
c)no change occurs
d)air from end 2 flows towards end 1. Volume of the soap bubble at end 1 increases
Ans.(b) We know that excess pressure in a soap bubble is inversely proportional to its radius. The soap bubble at end 1 has small radius as compared to the soap bubble at end 2 (given). Therefore excess pressure at 1 is more. As the valve is opened, air flows from end 1 to end 2 and the volume of soap bubble at end 1 decreases.

17.The spring balance A reads 2 kg with a block m suspended from it. A balance B reads 5 kg when a beaker with liquid is put on the pan of the balance. The two balances are now so arranged that the hanging mass is inside the liquid in the beaker as shown in the figure. In this situation [1985-2 marks]
JEE Main Previous Year Papers Questions With Solutions Physics Properties of Matter-20
a)the balance A will read more than 2 kg
b)the balance B will read more than 5 kg
c)the balance A will read less than 2 kg and B will read more than 5 kg
d)the balance A and B will read 2 kg and 5 kg respectively.
Ans.(b), (c) When the hanging mass is inside the liq¬uid, the liquid will apply an upthrust on the mass. Hence the balance A will read less than 2 kg. Infact m loses a weight when dipped in a liquid. An upthrust acts on block m.By reaction, an equal force will be exerted on the liquid contained in beaker in the downward direction.Hence g will read more than 5 kg.Hence (b) and (c) both are correct.
Infact (b) is contained in (c). So it is adequate to say that (c) holds good.

When liquid medicine of density p is to put in the eye, it is done with the help of a dropper. As the bulb on the top of the dropper is pressed, a drop forms at the opening of the dropper. We wish to estimate the size of the drop. We first assume that the drop formed at the opening is spherical because that requires a minimum increase in it surface energy.

60.A block of ice with a lead shot embedded in it is floating on water contained in a vessel. The temperature of the system is maintained at 0°C as the ice melts. When the ice melts completely the level of water in the vessel rises. [1986-3 marks]
Ans.False The level of water, in the vessel, falls. Melting of ice-block merely by it self, does not cause any change in level of water on which it floats.
Lead shot, embedded in ice block, floats on water. The change in level of water will be due to this lead shot which initially floats but finally sinks into water when ice-block melts, v Mass of floating lead-shot = Mass of water dis¬placed = M

62.A 0.1 kg mass is suspended from a wire of negli­gible mass . The length of the wire is 1 m and its cross-sectional area is 4.9 x lO-7 m2. If the mass is pulled a little in the vertically downward direction and released, it performs simple harmonic motion of angular frequency 140 rad S-1. If the Young’s modulus of the material of the wire is n x lO9 Nm-2, the value of n is
