The two thigh bones (femurs), each of cross-sectional area \(10~\text{cm}^2\) support the upper part of a human body of mass \(40~\text{kg}.\) The average pressure sustained by the femurs is:
1. \(0.2\times 10^{5}~\text{Nm}^{-2}\)
2. \(2\times10^{5}~\text{Nm}^{-2}\)
3. \(20\times10^{5}~\text{Nm}^{-2}\)
4. \(20\times10^{6}~\text{Nm}^{-2}\)
Pressure on a swimmer \(10\) m below the surface of a lake is:
(Atmospheric pressure= \(1.01\times10^{5}\) Pa, density of water = \(1000\) kg/m3 and \(g=10\) m/s2)
1. \(5\) atm
2. \(4\) atm
3. \(2\) atm
4. \(3\) atm
1. | \(8~\text{km}\) | 2. | \(5~\text{km}\) |
3. | \(7~\text{km}\) | 4. | \(6~\text{km}\) |
1. | \(4.12\times 10^{4}~\text{N}\) | 2. | \(4.12\times 10^{5}~\text{N}\) |
3. | \(5.12\times 10^{5}~\text{N}\) | 4. | \(5.12\times 10^{4}~\text{N}\) |
Two syringes of different cross-sections (without needles) filled with water are connected with a tightly fitted rubber tube filled with water. Diameters of the smaller piston and larger piston are \(1.0~\text {cm}\) and \(3.0~\text{cm}\) respectively. Force exerted on the larger piston when a force of \(10~\text N\) is applied to the smaller piston:
1. \(80~\text N\)
2. \(90~\text N\)
3. \(10~\text N\)
4. \(20~\text N\)
1. | \(0.67~\text{cm}\) | 2. | \(6.7~\text{cm}\) |
3. | \(67~\text{cm}\) | 4. | \(6.3~\text{cm}\) |
