A rod of weight $$w$$ is supported by two parallel knife edges $$A$$ and $$B$$ and is in equilibrium in a horizontal position. The knives are at a distance $$d$$ from each other. The centre of mass of the rod is at distance $$x$$ from $$A.$$ The normal reaction on $$A$$ is
A
$$\frac{{wx}}{d}$$
B
$$\frac{{wd}}{x}$$
C
$$\frac{{w\left( {d - x} \right)}}{x}$$
D
$$\frac{{w\left( {d - x} \right)}}{d}$$
Answer :
$$\frac{{w\left( {d - x} \right)}}{d}$$
As the weight $$w$$ balances the normal reactions.
So, $$w = {N_1} + {N_2}\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right)$$
Now balancing torque about the $$COM,$$
i.e. anti-clockwise momentum = clockwise momentum
$$ \Rightarrow {N_1}x = {N_2}\left( {d - x} \right)$$
Putting the value of $${N_2}$$ from Eq. (i), we get
$$\eqalign{
& {N_1}x = \left( {w - {N_1}} \right)\left( {d - x} \right) \cr
& \Rightarrow {N_1}x = wd - wx - {N_1}d + {N_1}x \cr
& \Rightarrow {N_1}d = w\left( {d - x} \right) \cr
& \Rightarrow {N_1} = \frac{{w\left( {d - x} \right)}}{d} \cr} $$

A certain number of spherical drops of a liquid of radius $$'r'$$ coalesce to form a single drop of radius $$'R'$$ and volume $$'V'.$$ If $$'T'$$ is the surface tension of the liquid, then :
A
energy $$ = 4VT\left( {\frac{1}{r} - \frac{1}{R}} \right)$$ is released
B
energy $$ = 3VT\left( {\frac{1}{r} + \frac{1}{R}} \right)$$ is absorbed
C
energy $$ = 3VT\left( {\frac{1}{r} - \frac{1}{R}} \right)$$ is released
D
energy is neither released nor absorbed
Answer :
energy $$ = 3VT\left( {\frac{1}{r} - \frac{1}{R}} \right)$$ is released
As surface area decreases so energy is released.
Energy released $$ = 4\pi {R^2}T\left[ {{n^{\frac{1}{3}}} - 1} \right]\,\,\left( {{\text{where}}\,R = {n^{\frac{1}{3}}}r} \right)$$
$$\eqalign{
& = 4\pi {R^3}T\left[ {\frac{1}{r} - \frac{1}{R}} \right] \cr
& = 3VT\left[ {\frac{1}{r} - \frac{1}{R}} \right] \cr} $$

Water is flowing through a horizontal tube having cross-sectional areas of its two ends being $$A$$ and $$A'$$ such that the ratio $$\frac{A}{{A'}}$$ is 5. If the pressure difference of water between the two ends is $$3 \times {10^5}\,N{m^{ - 2}},$$ the velocity of water with which it enters the tube will be (neglect gravity effects)
195.
The adjacent graph shows the extension $$\left( {\Delta l} \right)$$ of a wire of length $$1m$$ suspended from the top of a roof at one end with a load $$W$$ connected to the other end. if the cross-sectional area of the wire is $${10^{ - 6}}{m^2},$$ calculate the Young’s modulus of the material of the wire
196.
A $$2m$$ long rod of radius $$1\,cm$$ which is fixed from one end is given a force of $$8\,N.$$ The longitudinal strain developed will be [take $$\gamma = 2.5 \times {10^{11}}N/{m^2}$$ ]
197.
A horizontal tube has different cross sections at points $$A$$ and $$B.$$ The area of cross section are $${a_1}$$ and $${a_2},$$ respectively, and pressures at these points are $${p_1} = \rho g{h_1}$$ and $${p_2} = \rho g{h_2},$$ where $$\rho $$ is the density of liquid flowing in the tube and $${h_1}$$ and $${h_2}$$ are heights of liquid columns in vertical tubes connected at $$A$$ and $$B.$$ If $${h_1} - {h_2} = h,$$ then the flow rate of the liquid in the horizontal tube is
A
$${a_1}{a_2}\sqrt {\frac{{2gh}}{{a_1^2 - a_2^2}}} $$
B
$${a_1}{a_2}\sqrt {\frac{{2g}}{{h\left( {a_1^2 - a_2^2} \right)}}} $$
Let $${a_1}$$ and $${a_2}$$ be cross sectional areas and $${v_1}$$ and $${v_2}$$ the velocities of liquid flow at $$A$$ and $$B.$$ If $${p_1}$$ and $${p_2}$$ are pressures of liquid recorded by manometer, then
$$\eqalign{
& {p_1} + \frac{1}{2}pv_1^2 = {p_2} + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 \cr
& \Rightarrow {p_1} - {p_2} = \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2\left( {\frac{{v_2^2}}{{v_1^2}} - 1} \right) \cr} $$
By equation of continuity, $${a_1}{v_1} = {a_2}{v_2}$$
Also, $${p_1} - {p_2} = h\rho g$$
Substituting these values, we have
$${v_1} = \sqrt {\frac{{2gh}}{{\frac{{a_1^2}}{{a_2^2}} - 1}}} $$
Rate of flow of liquid is $${a_1}{v_1} = {a_2}{a_2}\sqrt {\frac{{2gh}}{{a_1^2 - a_2^2}}} $$

Two wires $$A$$ and $$B$$ of same material and of equal length with the radii in the ratio $$1 : 2$$ are subjected to identical loads. If the length of $$A$$ increases by $$8\,mm,$$ then the increase in length of $$B$$ is
199.
Figure shows a liquid flowing through a tube at the rate of $$0.1\,\,{m^3}/s.$$ The tube is branched into two semicircular tubes of cross - sectional area $$\frac{A}{3}$$ and $$\frac{2A}{3}.$$ The velocity of liquid at $$Q$$ is (the cross-section of the main tube is $$A = {10^{ - 2}}{m^2}$$ and $${v_P} = 20\,m/s$$ )
200.
Two rods $$A$$ and $$B$$ of the same material and length have their radii $${r_1}$$ and $${r_2}$$ respectively. When they are rigidly fixed at one end and twisted by the same couple applied at the other end, the ratio $$\left( {\frac{{{\text{Angle of twist at the end of }}A}}{{{\text{Angle of twist at the end of}}\,B}}} \right)$$ is
A
$$\frac{{r_1^2}}{{r_2^2}}$$
B
$$\frac{{r_1^3}}{{r_2^3}}$$
C
$$\frac{{r_2^4}}{{r_1^4}}$$
D
$$\frac{{r_1^4}}{{r_2^4}}$$
Answer :
$$\frac{{r_2^4}}{{r_1^4}}$$
Couple per unit angle of twist, $$C = \frac{{\pi \eta {r^4}}}{{2\ell }}$$
$$\therefore $$ Couple $$\tau = C\theta = \frac{{\pi \eta {r^4}\theta }}{{2\ell }}$$
Here $$\eta ,\ell ,C\,\& \,\tau $$ are same. So, $${r^4}\theta = {\text{constant}}$$
$$\therefore \frac{{{\theta _1}}}{{{\theta _2}}} = \left( {\frac{{r_2^4}}{{r_1^4}}} \right)$$
