A 100 W bulb together with its power supply is suspended from a sensitive balance. Find the change in the mass recorded after the bulb remains on for 1 year .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given : Bulb is 100 Watt = 100J/s
So, 100 J is expended in 1 sec.
Hence total energy expended in 1 year
` = 100 xx 3600 xx 24 xx 365 `
` 315360000J`
Change in mass recorded ` Total energy / c^(2) = 315360000 / 9 xx 10^(16) `
` = 3.504 xx 10^(8) xx 10^(-16) kg `
` = 3.5 xx 10 ^(-8) kg `

The lower plate of a parallel plate capacitor is supported on a rigid rod. The upper plate is suspended from one end of a balance. The two plates are joined together by a thin wire and subsequently disconnected. The balance is then counterpoised. Now a voltage V = 5000 volt is applied between the plates. The distance between the plates is d = 5 mm and the area of each plate is A =100 cm^(2) . Then find out the additional mass placed to maintain balance. [All the elements other than plates are massless and nonconducting]

A solid cylindrical pulley of mass m and radius R = 10 cm is hinged about its horizontal axis of symmetry. A light spring is wrapped around it, and small block of mass 'm' is suspended from the string. Now the block is lefted vertically by a distance h = 1.8 m and released. Just after the string becomes taut again, find the angular velocity of the cylinder in rad/s (Take g = 10 m//sec^(2) )
