How much water, a pump of $$2\,kW$$ can raise in one minute to a height of $$10\,m,$$ take $$g = 10\,m/{s^2}$$ ?
A.
1000
B.
1200
C.
100
D.
2000
Answer :
1200
Solution :
$$\eqalign{
& P = \frac{W}{t}.\,{\text{Here,}}\,P = 2\;kW = 2000\;W. \cr
& W = Mgh = M \times 10 \times 10 = 100M \cr
& {\text{and}}\,\,t = 60\,s. \cr} $$
This gives, $$M = 1200\,kg$$
Its volume = 1200 litre as 1 litre of water contains $$1\,kg$$ of its mass.

A particle of mass $$m$$ is moving in a circular path of constant radius $$r$$ such that its centripetal acceleration $${a_c}$$ is varying with time $$t$$ as $${a_c} = {k^2}r{t^2}$$ where $$k$$ is a constant. The power delivered to the particles by the force acting on it is:
A.
$$2\pi m{k^2}{r^2}t$$
B.
$$m{k^2}{r^2}t$$
C.
$$\frac{{\left( {m{k^4}{r^2}{t^5}} \right)}}{3}$$
A spring of force-constant $$k$$ is cut into two pieces such that one piece is double the length of the other. Then the long piece will have a force-constant of-
