Question 5 Explanation:
Given data:
\begin{aligned} d=200 \mathrm{mm}&=0.2 \mathrm{m} \\ \therefore \qquad A=\frac{\pi}{4} d^{2}&=\frac{3.14}{4} \times(0.2)^{2}\\ &=0.0314 \mathrm{m}^{2} \\ f &=0.0225 \\ L &=500 \mathrm{m} \\ Q &=0.2 \mathrm{m}^{3} / \mathrm{s} \\ also \qquad Q &=A V\\ \therefore \qquad 0.2&=0.0314 \times V\\ or \qquad V&=6.369 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} \end{aligned}
We know that the Darcy's formula, head loss due to friction,
\begin{aligned} h_{f} &=\frac{f L V^{2}}{2 g d} \\ &=\frac{0.0225 \times 500 \times(6.369)^{2}}{2 \times 9.81 \times 0.2} \\ &=116.29 \mathrm{m} \text { of oil } \end{aligned}

Question 6 |
For an opaque surface, the absorptivity (\alpha), transmissivity (\tau) and reflectivity (\rho) are related by the equation:
\alpha +\rho =\tau | |
\rho +\alpha +\tau =0 | |
\alpha +\rho =1 | |
\alpha +\rho =0 |
Question 6 Explanation:
For any surface
\alpha+\tau+\rho=1
But for opaque surface, transmissivity (\tau)=0
\therefore \quad \alpha+\rho=1
\alpha+\tau+\rho=1
But for opaque surface, transmissivity (\tau)=0
\therefore \quad \alpha+\rho=1

Question 9 |
A solid disk of radius r rolls without slipping on a horizontal floor with angular velocity \omega and angular acceleration \alpha. The magnitude of the acceleration of the point of contact on a disc is
zero | |
r\alpha | |
\sqrt{(r\alpha )^{2}+(r\omega ^{2})^{2}} | |
r\omega |
Question 9 Explanation:

Motion of body can be expressed as sum of pure rotational and pure translation.
For no slip condition.
Translational acceleration of centre of mass (a)
=\alpha r
Velocity of centre of mass (v)=\omega r
Pure rotational II Pure translation

Now superimposing the two motions.

Linear acceleration of bottom point
=\alpha r-\alpha r+r \omega^{2}
Velocity of bottom point =\omega r-\omega r=0
\therefore Net acceleration of bottom point =r \omega^{2}
