Let us suppose you have two blocks and you do not know what material they are made of. The volume of one block is `30cm^(3)` while the other is `60cm^(3).` The second block is heavier than the first. Based on this information, can you tell which of the two block is denser ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No, we cannot say which of the two blocks is denser, because any one of the quantiy i,e., either volume or weight must be same.

Two coils each of 100 turns are held at right angles such that one lies in the vertical plane with their centres coinciding. The radius of the vertical coil is 20 cm and that of the horizontal coil is 30 cm. How would you neutralize the magnetic field of the earth at their common centre ? What is the current to be passed through each coil? Horizontal component of earth's magnetic induction =3.49 xx 10^(-5) T and angle of dip = 30^@

Let us consider different squares of sides 2, 3, 4 and 5cm, Find the areas of the squares and fill the table. What do you observe? Do you find any change in the area of the square with a change in its side? Further, find the area of a square to the length of its side. Is the ratio same? Obviously not. :.

  • Two strings of the same material and the same area of cross-section are used in sonometer experiment. One is loaded with 12kg and the other with 3 kg. The fundamental frequency of the first string is equal to the first overtone of the second string. If the length of the second string is 100 cm, then the length of the first string is

    A
    30 cm
    B
    200 cm
    C
    100 cm
    D
    50 cm

  • The f-block consists of the two series lanthanoids and actinoids. Because Lanthanum closely resembles the Lanthanoids. The Lanthanoid resemble one another more closely than do the members ofordinary transition elements in any series. They have only one stable oxidation state. The chemistry of the actinoids is on the other hand, much more complicated. The complication arises partly owing to the occurance ofa wide range of oxidation states in these elements and partly because their radioactivity creates special problems in their study Wrong statement of the following is

    A
    Atomic radius of Lanthanoids decreases steadilyfrom Ce to Lu
    B
    The sheilding of a 4f electron by another is less than one d-electron by another with increase in nuclear charge along the series
    C
    Identical radii of Zr and Hf is a consequence of Lanthanoide contraction
    D
    `Ce^(+4)` is a strong oxidising agents

    B
