MEASUREMENT AND UNITS & DIMENSIONS

Synopsis :
1. Every measurement has two parts. The first is a number (n) and the next is a unit (u). Q = nu. Eg : Length of an object = 40 cm. 2. The number expressing the magnitude of a physical quantity is inversely proportional to the unit selected. 3. If n1 and n2 are the numerical values of a physical quantity corresponding to the units u1 and u2, then n1u1 = n2u2. Eg : 2.8 m = 280 cm; 6.2 kg = 6200 g 4. The quantities that are independent of other quantities are called fundamental quantities. The units that are used to measure these fundamental quantities are called fundamental units. 5. There are four systems of units namely C.G.S, M.K.S, F.P.S and SI 6. The quantities that are derived using the fundamental quantities are called derived quantities. The units that are used to measure these derived quantities are called derived units. 7. The early systems of units : Fundamental Quantity Length Mass Time System of units C.G.S. centimetre Gram second M.K.S. Metre Kilogra m Second F.P.S. foot pound second

8. Fundamental and supplementary physical quantities in SI system (Systeme Internationale dunits) : Physical quantity Length Mass Time Electric current Intensity of light Quantity of substance Supplementary quantities: Plane angle Solid angle radian steradian rad sr Unit Metre kilogram second ampere candela mole Symbol m kg s A K cd mol

Thermodynamic temperature kelvin

SI units are used in scientific research. SI is a coherent system of units. 13. A coherent system of units is one in which the units of derived quantities are obtained as multiples or submultiples of certain basic units. SI system is a comprehensive, coherent and rationalised M.K.S. Ampere system (RMKSA system) and was devised by Prof. Giorgi. 1

Measurement and Units & $ dimensions 14. Metre : A metre is equal to 1650763.73 times the wavelength of the light emitted in vacuum due to electronic transition from 2p10 state to 5d5 state in Krypton86. But in 1983, 17th General Assembly of weights and measures, adopted a new definition for the metre in terms of velocity of light. According to this definition, metre is defined as the distance travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299, 792, 458 of a second. 15. Kilogram : The mass of a cylinder of platinumiridium alloy kept in the International Bureau of weights and measures preserved at Serves near Paris is called one kilogram. 16. Second : The duration of 9192631770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of caesium133 atom is called one second. 17. Ampere : The current which when flowing in each of two parallel conductors of infinite length and negligible crosssection and placed one metre apart in vacuum, causes each conductor to experience a force of 2x107 newton per metre of length is known as one ampere. 18. Kelvin : The fraction of 1/273.16 of the thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water is called kelvin. 19. Candela : The luminous intensity in the perpendicular direction of a surface of a black body of area 1/600000 m2 at the temperature of solidifying platinum under a pressure of 101325 Nm2 is known as one candela. 20. Mole : The amount of a substance of a system which contains as many elementary entities as there are atoms in 12x103 kg of carbon12 is known as one mole. 21. Radian : The angle made by an arc of the circle equivalent to its radius at the centre is known as radian. 1 radian = 57o17l45ll. 22. Steradian : The angle subtended at the centre by one square metre area of the surface of a sphere of radius one metre is known as steradian. 23. The quantity having the same unit in all the systems of units is time. 24. Angstrom is the unit of length used to measure the wavelength of light. 1 = 1010 m. 25. Fermi is the unit of length used to measure nuclear distances. 1 fermi = 1015 metre. 26. Light year is the unit of length for measuring astronomical distances. 27. Light year = distance travelled by light in 1 year = 9.4605x1015 m. 28. Astronomical unit = Mean distance between the sun and earth = 1.5x1011 m. 29. Parsec = 3.26 light years = 3.084x1016 m 30. Barn is the unit of area for measuring scattering crosssection of collisions. 1 barn = 1028 m2. 31. Chronometer and metronome are time measuring instruments. 32.

Measurement and Units & $ dimensions Note : The following are not used in SI system. deca 101 deci 101 hecta 102 centi 102 Full names of the units, even when they are named after a scientist should not be written with a capital letter. Eg : newton, watt, ampere, metre. Unit should be written either in full or in agreed symbols only. Units do not take plural form. Eg : 10 kg but not 10 kgs, 20 w but not 20 ws 2 A but not 2 As No full stop or punctuation mark should be used within or at the end of symbols for units. Eg : 10 W but not 10 W. Dimensions of a physical quantity are the powers to which the fundamental units are raised to obtain one unit of that quantity. The expression showing the powers to which the fundamental units are to be raised to obtain one unit of a derived quantity is called the dimensional formula of that quantity. If Q is the unit of a derived quantity represented by Q = MaLbTc, then MaLbTc is called dimensional formula and the exponents a,b and c are called the dimensions. Dimensional Constants : The physical quantities which have dimensions and have a fixed value are called dimensional constants. Eg : Gravitational constant (G), Plancks constant (h), Universal gas constant (R), Velocity of light in vacuum (C) etc. Dimensionless quantities are those which do not have dimensions but have a fixed value. a) Dimensionless quantities without units. Eg : Pure numbers, e, sin cos tan . etc., b) Dimensionless quantities with units. Eg : Angular displacement radian, Joules constant joule/calorie, etc., Dimensional variables are those physical quantities which have dimensions and do not have fixed value. Eg : velocity, acceleration, force, work, power etc. Dimensionless variables are those physical quantities which do not have dimensions and do not have fixed value. Eg : Specific gravity, refractive index, coefficient of friction, Poissons ratio etc. Dimensional formulae are used to a) verify the correctness of a physical equation, b) derive relationship between physical quantities and c) to convert the units of a physical quantity from one system to another system. Law of homogeneity of dimensions : In any correct equation representing the relation between physical quantities, the dimensions of all the terms must be the same on both sides. Terms separated by + or must have the same dimensions. A physical quantity Q has dimensions a, b and c in length (L), mass (M) and time (T) respectively, and n1 is its numerical value in a system in which the fundamental units are L1, M1 and T1 and n2 is the numerical value in another system in which the fundamental units are L2, M2 and T2 respectively, then

ERRORS AND SIGNIFICANT FIGURES


ACCURACY, PRECISION OF INSTRUMENTS AND ERRORS IN MEASUREMENT :

The measured value of a physical quantity is usually different from its true value. The result of every measurement by any measuring instrument is an approximate number, which contains some uncertainty. This uncertainty is called error. 2. Every calculated quantity which is based on measured values also has an error. We distinguish between two terms accuracy and precision. 3. The accuracy of a measurement is a measure of how close the measured value is to the true value of the quantity. Precision tells us to what resolution or limit the quantity is measured. 4. In general, the errors in measurement can be broadly classified as (a) systematic errors and (b) random errors. 5. Systematic errors : The systematic errors are those errors that tend to be in one direction, either positive or negative. Some of the sources of systematic errors are : a) Instrumental errors that arise from the errors due to imperfect design or calibration of the measuring instrument, etc. For example, in a Vernier calipers the zero mark of vernier scale may not coincide to the zero mark of the main scale, or simply an ordinary metre scale may be worn off at one end. b) Imperfection for experimental technique or procedure. For example, to determine the temperature of a human body, a thermometer placed under the armpit will always give a temperature lower than the actual value of the body temperature. c) Personal errors that arise due to an individuals bias, lack of proper setting of the apparatus of individuals, carelessness in taking observations without observing proper precautions, etc. For example, if you, by habit, always hold your head a bit too far to the right while reading the position of a needle on the scale, you will introduce an error due to parallax. 6. Random errors : The random errors are those errors, which occur irregularly and hence are random with respect to sign and size. These can arise due to random and unpredictable fluctuations in experimental conditions (e.g. unpredictable fluctuations in temperature, voltage supply). 7. Least count error : a) The least count error is the error associated with the resolution of the instrument. For example, a vernier calipers has a least count as 0.001 cm. It occurs with both systematic and random errors. The smallest division on the scale of the measuring instrument is called its least count. b) Systematic errors can be minimized by improving experimental techniques, selecting better instruments and removing personal bias as far as possible. c) Random errors are minimized by repeating the observations several times and taking the arithmetic mean of all the observations. The mean value would be very close to the true value of the measured quantity. 8. Absolute Error, Relative Error and Percentage Error : a) Suppose the values obtained in several measurements are a1, a2, a3 an. The arithmetic mean of these values is taken as the best possible value of the quantity under the given conditions of measurement as : amean = (a1 + a2 + a3 + ... + an ) / n (or)
amean =

Measurement and Units & $ dimensions


The magnitude of the difference between the true value of the quantity and the individual

measurement value is called the absolute error of the measurement. This is denoted by |t| (As we do not know the true value of a quantity, let us accept the arithmetic mean of all measurements as the true value of the measured quantity). Then the absolute errors in the individual measurement values are a1 = amean a1 ; a2 = amean a2 ; ; an = amean an. The arithmetic errors may be positive in certain cases and negative in some other cases. b) The arithmetic mean of all the absolute errors is taken as the final or mean absolute error of the value of the physical quantity a. It is represented by amean. Thus, amean = ( |a1| + |a2| + |a3| + + |an| ) / n =

| a | / n
i i =1

If we do a single measurement, the value we get may be in the range amean amean. i.e. a = amean amean. or amean amean a amean + amean. This implies that any measurement of the physical quantity a is likely to lie between

(amean + amean) and (amean amean) c) Instead of the absolute error, we often use the relative error or the percentage error (a). The relative error is the ratio of the mean absolute error amean to the mean value amean of the quantity measured. Relative error = amean / amean. When the relative error is expressed in percent, it is called the percentage error (a) Thus, Percentage error a = (amean / amean) 100% 9. Combination of Errors : If we do an experiment involving several measurements, we must know how the errors in all the measurements combine. a) Error of a sum or a difference : Suppose two physical quantities A and B have measured values A A, B B respectively where A and B are their absolute errors. We wish to find the error Z in the sum Z=A+B We have by addition, Z Z = (A A) + (B B). The maximum possible error in Z = Z = A + B For the difference Z = A B, we have Z Z = (A A) (B B) = (A B) A B. or Z = A B The maximum value of the error Z is again A + B. When two quantities are added or subtracted, the absolute error in the final result is the sum of the absolute errors in the individual quantities. b) Error of a product or a quotient : Suppose Z = AB and the measured values of A and B are A A and B B. Then Z Z = (A A) (B B). 10

Measurement and Units & $ dimensions = AB B A A B A B. Dividing LHS by Z and RHS by AB we have, 1 (Z / Z) = 1 (A / A) (B / B) (A / A) (B / b). Z = Z / Z = (A / A) + (B / B) When two quantities are multiplied or divided, the fractional error in the result is the sum of the fractional errors in the multipliers. c) Error due to the power of a measured quantity : Z = A2, then Z / Z = (A / A) + (A / A) = 2 (A / A) If Z = Ap Bq / Cr, then Z / Z = p (A / A) + q (B / B) + r (C / C) The fractional error in a physical quantity raised to the power is the power times the fractional error in the individual quantity.

SIGNIFICANT FIGURES :

10. Every measurement involves errors. Thus, the result of measurement should be reported in a way that indicates the precision of measurement. 11. Normally, the reported result of measurement is a number that includes all digits in the number that are known reliably plus the first digit that is uncertain. The reliable digits plus the first uncertain digit are known as significant digits or significant figures. 12. If we say the period of oscillation of a simple pendulum is 1.62 s, the digits 1 and 6 are reliable and certain, while the digit 2 is uncertain. Thus, the measured value has three significant figures. The length of an object reported after measurement to be 287.5 cm has four significant figures, the digits 2, 8, 7 are certain while the digit 5 is uncertain. 13. Then a length of 16.2 cm means l = 16.20 0.05 cm, i.e. it lies between 16.15 cm and 16.25 cm. 14. A choice of change of different units does not change the number of significant digits or figures in a measurement. a) For example, the length 2.308 cm has four significant figures. But in different units, the same value can be written as 0.02308 m or 23.08 mm or 23080 m.
The example gives the following rules :

i) All the non-zero digits are significant. ii) All the zeros between two non-zero digits are significant, no matter where the decimal point is, if at all. iii)If the number is less than 1, the zeros on the right of decimal point but to the left of the first non-zero digit are not significant. (In 0.002308, the underlined zeros are not significant) iv) The terminal or trailing zeros in a number without a decimal point are not significant. v) (Thus 123 m = 12300 cm = 123000 mm has three significant figures, the trailing zeroes being not significant). However, you can also see the next observation. vi) The trailing zeros in a number with a decimal point are significant. (The numbers 3.500 or 0.06900 have four significant figures each). b) There can be some confusion regarding the trailing zeros. Suppose a length is reported to be 4.700 m. It is evident that the zeros here are meant to convey the precision of measurement and are, therefore, significant. (If these were not, it would be superfluous to write them explicitly, the reported measurement would have been simply 4.7 m). 4.700 m = 470.0 cm = 4700 mm = 0.004700 km. Since the last number has trailing zeroes in a number with no decimal, we would conclude erroneously from observation (1) above that the 11

Measurement and Units & $ dimensions number has two significant figures, while infact it has four significant figures and a mere change of units cannot change the number of significant figures. c) To remove such ambiguities in determining the number of significant figures, the best way is to report every measurement m scientific notation (in the power of 10). In this notation, every number is expressed as a 10b, where a is a number between 1 and 10, and b is any positive or negative exponent of 10. 4.700 m = 4.700 102 cm 4.700 103 mm = 4.700 103 km
Thus, in the scientific notation, no confusion arises about the trailing zeros in the base number a. They are always significant.

d) The scientific notation is ideal for reporting measurement. But if this is not adopted, we use the rules adopted in the preceding example : i) For a number greater than 1, without any decimal, the trailing zeros are not significant. ii) For a number with a decimal, the trailing zeros are significant. 15. Rules for Arithmetic Operations with Significant Figures : a) The result of a calculation involving approximate measured values of quantities (i.e. values with limited number of significant figures) must reflect the uncertainties in the original measured values. b) It cannot be more accurate than the original measured values themselves on which the result is based. In general, the final result should not have more significant figures than the original data from which it was obtained. Thus, if mass of an object is measured to be, say, 4.237 g (four significant figures) and its volume is measured to be 2.51 cm3, then its density, by mere arithmetic division, is 1.68804780876 g/cm3 upto 11 decimal places. c) It would be clearly absurd and irrelevant to record the calculated value of density to such a precision when the measurements on which the value is based, have much less precision. The following rules for arithmetic operations with significant figures ensure that the final result of a calculation is shown with the precision that is consistent with the precision of the input measured values : i) In multiplication or division, the final result should retain as many significant figures as are there in the original number with the least significant figures. Density =
4.237g 2.51 cm3 = 1.69g cm3

Similarly, if the speed of light is given as 3.00 108 ms1 (three significant figures). ii) In addition or subtraction, the final result should retain as many decimal places as are there in the number with the least decimal places. iii) For example, the sum of the numbers 436.32 g, 227.2 g and 0.301 g by mere arithmetic addition, is 663.821 g. iv) But the least precise measurement (227.2 g) is correct to only one decimal place. The final result should, therefore, be rounded off to 663.8 g. v) Similarly, the difference in length can be expressed as : 0.307 m 0.304 m = 0.003 m = 3 103 m. vi) They do not convey the precision of measurement properly. For addition and subtraction, the rule is in terms of decimal places. 16. Rounding off the Uncertain Digits : 12

PDF Watermark Remover DEMO : Purchase from www.PDFWatermarkRemover.com to remove the waterma

Measurement and Units & $ dimensions a) The result of computation with approximate numbers, which contain more than one uncertain digit, should be rounded off. b) Preceding digit is raised by 1 if the insignificant digit to be dropped (the underlined digit in this case) is more than 5, and is left unchanged if the latter is less than 5. c) But what if the number is 2.745 in which the insignificant digit is 5. Here the convention is that if the preceding digit is even, the insignificant digit is simply dropped and, if it is odd, the preceding digit is raised by 1. 17. Rules for Determining the Uncertainty of Number in Arithmetic Operations : a) The uncertainty or error in the measured value, as already mentioned, is normally taken to be half of the least count of the measuring instrument. The rules for determining the uncertainty of number in arithmetic operations can be understood from the following examples. i) If the length and breadth of a thin rectangular sheet are measured as 16.2 cm and 10.1 cm respectively, there are three significant figures in each measurement. It means that the true length l may be written as l = 16.20 0.05 cm = 16.20 cm 0.3% Similarly, the breadth b may be written as b = 10.10 0.05 cm = 10.10 cm 0.5% To determine the uncertainty of the product of two (or more) experimental values, we often following a rule that is founded upon probability. If we assume that uncertainties combine randomly, we have the rule : When two or more experimentally obtained numbers are multiplied, the percentage uncertainty of the final result is equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of the percentage uncertainties of the original numbers. Following the square root of the sum of the squares rule, we may write for the product of length l and breadth b as l b = 163.62 cm2 (0.3%)2 + (0.5%)2 = 163.62 cm2 0.6% = 163.62 1.0 cm2 l b = 163.62 1.0 cm2 b) If a set of experimental data is specified to n significant figures, a result obtained by combining the data will also be valid to n significant figures. i) However, if data are subtracted, the number of significant figures can be reduced. ii) For example : 12.9 g 7.06 g, both specified to three significant figures, cannot properly be evaluated as 5.84 g but only as 5.8 g, as uncertainties in subtraction or addition combine in a different fashion (smallest number of decimal places rather than the number of significant figures in any of the number added or subtracted). c) The fractional error of a value of number specified to significant figures depends not only on n but also on the number itself. i) For example, the accuracy in measurement of mass 1.02 g is 0.005 g whereas another measurement 9.89 g is also accurate to 0.005g. ii) The fractional error in 1.02 g is = ( 0.005 / 1.02) 100% 0.5% iii) On the other hand, the fractional error in 9.89 g is = ( 0.005 / 9.89) 100% 0.05% iv) Finally, remember that intermediate results in a multi-step computation should be calculated to one more significant figure in every measurement than the number of digits in the least precise measurement. 13

Measurement and Units & $ dimensions v) Theses should be justified by the data and then the arithmetic operations may be carried out; otherwise rounding errors can build up. For example, the reciprocal of 9.58, calculated (after rounding off) to the same number of significant figures (three) is 0.104, but the reciprocal of 0.104 calculated to three significant figures is 9.62. However, if we had written 1/9.58 = 0.1044 and then taken the reciprocal to three significant figures, we would have retrieved the original value of 9.58. iv) This example justifies the idea to retain one more extra digit (than the number of digits in the least precise measurement) in intermediate steps of the complex multi-step calculations in order to avoid additional errors in the process of rounding off the numbers.

ELEMENTS OF VECTORS 1. Scalar : A physical quantity having only magnitude but not associated with any direction is called a scalar. eg: time, mass, distance, speed, work, energy, power, pressure, temperature, electric current, gravitational potential, pole strength, magnetic flux, entropy, electric capacity, velocity of light, large angular displacement, electric charge, etc. Scalars are added and subtracted by algebraic method. Vector : A physical quantity having magnitude as well as associated direction and which obeys vector laws is called a vector. eg: displacement, velocity, acceleration, force, momentum, impulse, moment of force, small angular displacement, angular velocity, angular acceleration, magnetic moment, dipole moment, current density, intensity of electric field or magnetic field, shearing stress, weight, centrifugal force, infinitesimally small area, etc. Vectors are completely described by a number with a unit followed by a statement of direction. Angle can be considered as vector if it is small. Large angles can not be treated as vectors as they do not obey laws of vector addition. Surface area can be treated both as a scalar and a vector. A is magnitude of surface n area which is a scalar. This area is enclosed by a closed curve as shown if n is a unit vector normal to the surface, we can write A n as a vector. Surface area is a vector. [If the four fingers of right hand curl along the direction of arrow of enclosing curve, thumb indicates direction of area vector] Tensor is a physical quantity which will have different values along different directions. e.g. Moment of inertia, stress. A vector is represented by a directed line segment. The length of the line segment is proportional to the magnitude of the vector. The magnitude or modulus of a vector (| r | or r) is a scalar. Electric current, velocity of light has both magnitude and direction but they do not obey the laws of vector addition. Hence they are scalars. Equal vectors : Two vectors are said to be equal if they have the same magnitude and direction irrespective of their initial points. Negative vectors : A and A are vectors having the same magnitude and opposite direction. A is called the negative of A . Proper vector : A vector whose magnitude is not zero is known as proper vector. Null Vector (Zero Vector): It is a vector whose magnitude is zero and direction is unspecified. Examples: a) Displacement after one complete revolution. b) Velocity of vertically projected body at the highest point Parallel vectors : Vectors in the same direction are called parallel vectors. Antiparallel vectors : Vectors in opposite direction are called antiparallel vectors. Like vectors or co-directional vectors : The vectors directed in the same direction, irrespective of their magnitudes are called co-directional vectors or like vectors.

22. Position vector : The vector which is used to specify the position of a point P P with respect to some fixed point O is represented by OP and is known as the position vector of P with respect to O. 23. Real Vector or Polar Vector: If the direction of a vector is independent of O the coordinate system., then it is called a polar vector. Example: linear velocity, linear momentum, force, etc., 24. Pseudo or axial vectors : Axial vectors or pseudo vectors are those whose direction is fixed by convention and reverses in a mirror reflection. Cross product of two vectors gives an axial vector. eg : Torque, angular velocity, etc. 25. A vector remains unchanged when it is moved parallel to itself. 26. If m is a scalar and A a vector, then m A is a vector. Its magnitude is m times that of magnitude of A . Its direction is the same as that of A , if m is positive and opposite if m is negative,
P = mV ; F = ma ; F = Eq ; F = mB . If m is zero, m A is a null vector.

27. Vector multiplication obeys commutative law when multiplied by a scalar. s A = A s where s is scalar. 28. Vector multiplication obeys associative law when multiplier by a scalar i.e. m(n A )=mn A (m, n are scalars) 29. Vector multiplication obeys distributive law when multiplied by a scalar. s( A + B )=s A +s B . ADDITION OF VECTORS: 30. Addition of vectors is also called resultant of vectors. 31. Resultant is a single vector that gives the total effect of number of vectors. Resultant can be found by using a) Triangle law of vectors b) Parallelogram law of vectors c) Polygon law of vectors 32. Two vectors can be added either by triangle law or parallelogram law of vectors. R =P+Q 33. Triangle law : If two vectors are represented in magnitude and direction by the two sides of a triangle taken in order, then the third side taken in the reverse order Q P represents their sum or resultant in magnitude as well as in direction. 34. Parallelogram law : If two vectors P and Q are represented by the two sides of a parallelogram drawn R from a point, then their resultant is represented in magnitude and direction by Q the diagonal of the parallelogram passing through that point. R = P 2 + Q 2 + 2PQ cos 24

Magnitude of resultant Angle between forces ( ) 0 2F 60 3F 90 2F 120 F 180 0 Minimum number of equal vectors to give a zero resultant is 2. The minimum number of unequal vectors to give a zero resultant is 3. There are three laws of addition of vectors. a) Commutative law: A + B = B + A b) Associative law: A + (B + C) = (A + B) + C c) Distributive law: m(A + B) = mA + mB where m is a scalar. If the number of vectors is more than two, polygon law of vectors is D used. Polygon law : If a number of vectors are represented by the sides of a polygon taken in the same order, the resultant is represented by the R closing side of the polygon taken in the reverse order.

KINEMATICS
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. The branch of physics that deals with the motion of a body due to the application of force is called mechanics. Mechanics is divided into two branches namely dynamics and statics. The branch of mechanics that deals with the state of rest of a body is called statics. The branch of mechanics that deals with the state of motion of a body is called dynamics. Dynamics is classified into kinematics and kinetics. Kinematics is the study of motion which relates to the motion of bodies without reference to either the mass or the force causing it. Kinetics is the study of motion which relates to the action of forces causing the motion and the mass that is moved. A body is said to be at rest if its position remains constant with respect to its surroundings or frame of reference. A body is said to be in motion if its position is changing with respect to its surroundings or frame of reference.

10. The line joining the successive positions of a moving body is called its path. The length of the path gives the distance travelled by the body. 11. Displacement is the directed line segment joining the initial and final positions of a moving body. It is a vector. 12. If every particle of a moving body traverses the same distance along parallel paths, which may be straight or curved, while the body is moving, then the motion of the body is called translatory motion. 13. When the path traversed by each particle of a body is a straight line, then its motion is said to be rectilinear. 14. When the path traversed by the particles are parallel paths, then the motion is said to be curvilinear. SPEED : 15. Speed of a body is the rate at which it describes its path. Its SI unit is ms1. 16. Speed is a scalar quantity. 17. Speed =
distance travelled . time taken

18. A body is said to be moving with uniform speed if it has equal distances in equal intervals of time, however small these intervals may be. 19. A body is said to be moving with non uniform speed if it has unequal distances in equal intervals of time or equal distances in unequal intervals of time, however small these intervals may be. 20.

Velocity is a vector quantity. 28. A body is said to be moving with uniform velocity, if it has equal displacements in equal intervals of time, however small these intervals may be. 29. For a body moving with uniform velocity, the displacement is directly proportional to the time interval. 30. If the direction or magnitude or both of the velocity of a body change, then the body is said to be moving with non-uniform velocity. 31. Average velocity =

35. Velocity of a particle is uniform if both its magnitude and direction remains unchanged. 36. Velocity of a body changes when magnitude or direction or both change. 37. Acceleration : a. If the velocity of a body changes either in magnitude or in direction or both, then it is said to have acceleration. b. For a freely falling body, the velocity changes in magnitude and hence it has acceleration. c. For a body moving round a circular path with a uniform speed, the velocity changes in direction and hence it has acceleration. d. For a projectile, whose trajectory is a parabola, the velocity changes in magnitude and in direction, and hence it has acceleration. e. The acceleration and velocity of a body need not be in the same direction. eg : A body thrown vertically upwards. f. If equal changes of velocity takes place in equal intervals of time, however small these intervals may be, then the body is said to be in uniform acceleration.

DYNAMICS
Synopsis : NEWTONS LAWS OF MOTION : 1. Momentum is the quantity of motion possessed by a body by virtue of which it can set other bodies in motion by collision. 1 2. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity ( P = mv ). SI unit is kg ms . It is a vector having the same direction as that of velocity. 3. In finding the change in momentum, vector subtraction must be used. 4. If a ball of mass m moving with a speed v strikes a wall at right angle to it and rebounds with the same speed, then the change in momentum is 2mv. 5. If a body of mass m thrown vertically upwards with a velocity u returns to the starting point, then the change in its momentum is 2mu. 6. If a ball of mass m moving with a velocity u is struck by a bat and retraces its path with a velocity v, then the change in momentum is m(v + u). 7. Newtons first law of motion : Every body continues to be in the state of rest or of uniform motion unless it is compelled by an external force to change that state. i.e., the momentum of a body remains constant as long as no external force acts on it. 8. The first law of motion leads to the concepts of force and inertia. 9. Inertia is the tendency of a body to preserve its state of rest or of uniform motion along a straight line in the absence of any external force 10. The three types of inertia are: i) inertia of rest ii) inertia of motion and iii) Inertia of direction 11. Inertia of rest: The inability of a body to change its state of rest by itself is called inertia of rest. Eg: When a bus at rest starts suddenly passengers fall back 12. Inertia of motion: the inability of a body to change its uniform motion by itself is called as inertia of motion. Eg: when a bus in uniform motion suddenly stops , the passengers fall forward. 13. Inertia of direction: The inability of a body to change its direction of motion by itself is called inertia of direction. Eg: When a bus takes a turn passengers will be pressed outwards. 14. Force is that which changes or tends to change the state of rest or of uniform motion of a body along a straight line. 15. Newtons second law of motion : The rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the impressed force and takes place in the direction of force. 16. The second law of motion gives the direction and magnitude of force.

a) Average force exerted by tube on water is dAv2 b) Force required to hold the tube in a fixed position = dAv2 c) If the water traveling horizontally strikes a vertical wall normally and then flows down along the wall, the normal force exerted on the wall is dAv2. d) In the above case if water rebounds with the same speed, force exerted on the wall is 2dAv2 e) In the above case if water strikes the surface at angle with the normal and reflects with the same speed, force exerted on the wall is 2dAv2 Cos. 25. If a gun fires n bullets each of mass m per second each with a velocity u, the force F necessary to hold the gun is F = mnu. 26. A very large force acting for a short interval of time is called impulsive force. Eg : Blow of a hammer on the head of a nail. 27. The impulse of a force is defined as the product of the average force and the time interval for which it acts. Impulse J = FAV t = m v - m u Impulse momentum theorem = F dt=m v m u

in a time t2, then F1t1 = F2t2. The gravitational force that acts on a body is called its weight (W = mg). It is a vector always pointing in a vertically downward direction. A bird is in a wire cage hanging from a spring balance when the bird starts flying in the cage, the reading of the balance decreases. In the above case, if the bird is in a closed cage or air - tight cage and it hovers in the cage, the reading of the spring balance does not change. In the above case for a closed cage if the bird accelerates upward reading of the balance is R = Wbird + ma, where m is the mass of the bird and a its acceleration. If a block of mass m hangs at the end of a massless string and the string is pulled up, the tension in string is T = m (g + a) if the block accelerates in the upward direction. T = m (g - a) if the block is accelerated in the downward direction. T = mg if the block is moved up or down with uniform speed. When a man stands on a weighing machine, the weighing machine measures the normal force between the man and the machine. When the man and the weighing machine are at rest relative to the earth, reading of the weighing machine is N = mg = Weight of the man. N is also called apparent weight. Man inside an elevator: a) Elevator accelerates up: Cable a Relative to earth N-mg=ma N (M = mass of man) m Apparent weight=N=m(g+a) Tension in the cable mg T = (Melevator + Mman) (g + a) Same effect is felt when elevator retards while going down. b) Elevator accelerates downward: Cable a Relative to earth mg-N=ma N Apparent weight=N=m(g-a) m Tension in the cable T = (Melevator + Mmam) (g - a) mg Same effect is felt when elevator goes up and retards. If elevator falls freely (cable breads) N = 0 i.e. apparent weight of in a free fall = 0 Man inside an artificial satellite a) An artificial satellite orbiting the earth in a circular orbit is a freely falling body because its centripetal acceleration is equal to the acceleration due to gravity in that orbit. With a car at rest, mark the position of the stationary pendulum bob on the table under it, with the car in motion a) If the bob remains over the mark only when the car is moving in a straight line at a constant speed. (inertial frame of reference) b) If the car is gaining or losing the speed or is negotiating a bend, the bob moves from its mark and the car is a non-inertial frame. If you put a ball at rest on a rotating merry-go round, no identifiable force acts on the ball but it does not remain at rest, it is non - inertial reference frame.

44. Newtons first and third laws are only special cases of second law. 45. Thrust is the total force applied on a given area. It is measured as the product of pressure and the

area on which the pressure is applied.


46. In nature forces always occur in pairs (action and reaction) 47. When a body exerts a force on another body, the second body exerts a force on the first body of the

same magnitude but in opposite direction. 48. If we tie one end of a string to any point of a body and pull at the other end of the string, we exert a force on the body. Such a force exerted by means of a string is called tension. 49.

COLLISIONS
Synopsis:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Collision is an interaction between two or more bodies in which sudden changes of momenta take place. e.g. : Striking a ball with a bat. Newtons third law of motion leads to the law of conservation of momentum (momentum can neither be created nor destroyed). The momentum of a system m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2 remains constant so long as no external forces act on it. Rocket, jet plane, etc. work on the law of conservation of linear momentum. When a bullet of mass m is fired from a gun of mass M with a velocity v, then the gun recoils with a velocity mv/M. When a shot is fired from a gun, the momentum of the shot and the momentum of the gun are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. K.E. of gun : K.E. of bullet = mass of bullet : mass of gun. The velocity of a bullet is determined by ballistic pendulum. When a shot of mass m with a velocity v gets embedded in a block of mass M free to move on a smooth horizontal surface, then their common velocity = mv/(m+M). A bullet of mass m moving with a velocity v strikes a block of mass M hanging vertically. After striking, the bullet gets embedded in the block and both rise to a height h. Then the velocity of the bullet is given by the formula v = m + M

11. When a moving shell explodes, its total (vector sum) momentum remains constant but its total kinetic energy increases. 12. If the velocities of colliding bodies before and after infact are confined to a straight line, it is called head on collision or one dimensional collision. 13. Elastic collisions : 1. Both kinetic energy and linear momentum are conserved. 2. Total energy is constant. 3. Bodies will not be deformed. 4. The temperature of the system does not change. e.g. Collisions between ivory balls; molecular, atomic and nuclear collisions. 14. Perfect elastic collisions : 1. Two bodies of equal masses suffering one dimensional elastic collision, exchange their velocities after collision. i.e., if m1 = m2 then v1 = u2 and v2 = u1. 2. If a body suffers an elastic collision with another body of the same mass at rest, the first is stopped dead, whereas the second moves with the velocity of the first. i.e, if m1 = m2 and u2 = 0 then v1 = 0; v2 = u1. 3. When a very light body strikes another very massive one at rest, the velocity of the lighter body is almost reversed and the massive body remains at rest. i.e., if m2 >> m1 and u2 = 0, then v1 = u1 and v2 = 0. 4. When a massive body strikes a lighter one at rest, the velocity of the massive body remains practically unaffected where as the lighter one begins to move with a velocity nearly double as much as that of the massive one. i.e., if m1 >> m2 and u2 = 0, then v1 = u1 and v2 = 2u1. 5. When m1, m2 are moving with velocities u1, u2 and v1, v2 before and after collisions, then 79

Temperature changes. 5. The bodies may be deformed. 6. The bodies may stick together and move with a common velocity after collision 7. If the bodies collide and move together after collision; the collision is perfectly inelastic. 8. Two bodies collide in one dimension.

CENTRE OF MASS
Synopsis :
1.

Every particle is attracted towards the centre of the earth by the force of gravity and the centre of gravity of a body is the point where the resultant force of attraction of the weight of the body acts.

2.

Centre of mass : If a system of parallel forces proportional to the masses of the various particles of a body are assumed to act on it, their resultant passes through a fixed point, irrespective of the direction of the parallel forces and that point is called centre of mass.

3.

In a uniform gravitational field, the centre of mass of the body and the centre of gravity coincide with each other.

4.

For small bodies (compared to the size of the earth) the centre of gravity and the centre of mass coincide.

5.

If two particles of masses m1 and m2 are at distances x1 and x2 from the origin and xcm is the position of the centre of mass of the system, then
x cm = m 1x 1 + m 2 x 2 m1 + m 2

FRICTION

Synopsis :
When a body is in motion over another surface or when an object moves through a viscous medium like air or water or when a body rolls over another, there is a resistance to the motion because of the interaction of the object with its surroundings. Such a resistance force is called force of friction. 2. Friction is a result of molecular interaction. According to modern view, the cause of friction is largely due to atomic and molecular forces between the two surfaces at the point of contact. TYPES OF FRICTIONAL FORCE : 3. STATIC FRICTION : The frictional force, which is effective before motion starts between two planes in contact with each other, is known as static friction. Note: 1) Static frictional force is a self adjusting one. 2) The maximum frictional force when the body is ready to start is called limiting frictional force. 4. DYNAMIC FRICTION: The frictional force, which is effective when two surfaces in contact with each other are in relative motion with respect to each other, is known as dynamic friction. 5. ROLLING FRICTION: The frictional force, which is effective when a body rolls or rotates on a surface, is known as rolling friction.

called the coefficient of static friction. It depends upon the nature

of the surfaces in contact and their state of roughness. l 8. The angle between R and the resultant of R and F (i.e., R and R ) is called the angle of friction . Tan = 9. Characteristics of static friction: 1

Friction a) s between two given surfaces is independent of the normal force between the two surfaces. b) s > 0, it can also be greater than one, but in most of the cases it is less than one c) If s is the angle of limiting friction between two surfaces tan s = s When one body moves over the other, the force of friction acting between the two surfaces is called kinetic friction. The force of kinetic friction is independent of the area of the surfaces in contact and is proportional to the normal reaction Fk R. Fk = k .R Where k is coefficient of kinetic friction. When one body moves over another body, the coefficient of friction is less than limiting coefficient of friction and is called the coefficient of kinetic friction. Fk is independent of the velocity of sliding provided the velocity is low. When a body rolls over another, the frictional force developed is called rolling frictional force and the corresponding coefficient of friction is called coefficient of rolling friction (r). Rolling friction: a) Rolling friction comes into play when a body such as a wheel rolls on a surface. b) Rolling friction arises out of the deformation of the two surfaces in contact with each other. c) Greater the deformation greater is the rolling frictional force. d) The rolling frictional force is inversely proportional to the radius of the rolling body. e) The rolling frictional force between two given surfaces is lesser than kinetic and limiting frictional forces. f) If R is the coefficient of rolling friction R < k < s for a given pair of surfaces. g) Ball bearings are used in machinery parts because rolling friction is least. h) Radial tyres used in cars reduce rolling friction. When lubricants or viscous liquids are introduced between the surfaces of two solids in contact, they reduce frictional forces because intermolecular forces in liquids are much weaker than those in solids. Pulling a block or roller a) If the pulling force is such that F cos<fs, (fs is limiting friction) the block will be at rest and the force of friction between block and the surface is f = F cos N F sin f mg b) The normal force is N = mg - F sin c) Force needed to just slide the body is F=

ROTATORY MOTION
Synopsis :
CIRCULAR MOTION :

1. In translatory motion, every particle travels the same distance along parallel paths, which may be straight or curved. Every particle of the body has the same velocity and acceleration. 2. In rotatory motion, the body rotates about a fixed axis. Every particle of the body describes a circular path and centres of concentric circles lie on the axis of rotation. Every particle of the body undergoes the same angular displacement. But linear velocities of rotating particles differ depending upon their radii of rotation. 3. When a particle describes a circular path, the line joining the centre of the circle and the position of the particle at any instant of time is called the radius vector. 4. As the particle moves round the circle, the radius vector rotates (like the hands of a clock). The angle described by the radius vector in a given interval of time is called the angular displacement. 5. Angular displacement is a vector passing through the centre and directed along the perpendicular to the plane of the circle whose direction is determined by right hand screw rule (It is a pseudo vector). 6. Angular displacement is measured in radians or turns. 7. The rate of change of angular displacement is called angular velocity ().
= 2 = rads 1 or rpm; 1 rpm = rads 1 t 60 30 .

8. Angular velocity is a vector lying in the direction of angular displacement. 9. Linear velocity ( V ) = r . 10. Rate of change of angular velocity is called angular acceleration (). Unit is rads2. . 11. Linear acceleration = radius angular acceleration. a = r . 12. Resultant acceleration a = where ar = radial acceleration and aT = tangential acceleration. 13. Angular displacement ( ), angular velocity () and angular acceleration () are pseudo vectors. 14. For a body rotating with uniform angular acceleration, the following equations hold good. i) ii)

Rotatory Motion 16. When a body is moving in a circular path with uniform speed, then the acceleration experienced by the body, along the radius of the circle and directed towards the centre is called normal or radial or centripetal acceleration and is equal to where n is the number of revolutions per second. 17. The force which makes a body move round a circular path with uniform speed is called the centripetal force. This is always directed towards the centre of the circle. 18. If the direction of a force of constant magnitude applied on a body is always at right angles to the direction of its motion, then it describes a circular path with a uniform speed and its kinetic energy remains constant. 19. For a body moving round a circular path with uniform speed, the time period of and frequency n revolution T revolutions per second.

20. Centripetal force 21. A body moving round a circular path with uniform speed experiences an inertial or pseudo force which tends to make it go away from the centre. This force is called the centrifugal force and this is due to the inertia of the body. 22. Centrifugal force = centripetal force (but these are not action and reaction). 23. No work is done by centripetal force. 24. The kinetic energy of the body revolving round in a circular path with uniform speed is E. If F is the required centripetal force, then
F= 2E r

25. Uses of centrifugal forces and centrifugal machines. i) Cream is separated from milk (cream separator) ii) Sugar crystals are separated from molasses. iii) Precipitate is separated from solution. iv) Steam is regulated by Watts governer. v) Water is pumped from a well (Electrical pump). vi) Hematocentrifuge, Grinder, Washing machine, etc. 26. The angle through which a cyclist should lean while taking sharp turnings is given by the
v2 = Tan 1 rg relation .

27. Safe speed on an unbanked road when a vehicle takes a turn of radius r is v = rg where = coefficient of friction. 28. The maximum speed that is possible on curved unbanked track is given by g = v2h/ar where h = height of centre of gravity and a = half the distance between wheels. 29. After banking of a road, the weight W of the vehicle, the normal N W reaction N and the centripetal force F form a vector triangle (or) h F centripetal force is the resultant of W and N. Angle of banking is L given by tan = v2/rg and the height of banking is given by h = L sin where L is the width of the road. If is very small, then

Iz = Ix + Iy 49. Parallel axes theorem : The moment of inertia of any rigid body about any axis is equal to the moment of inertia of the same body about a parallel axis passing through its centre of mass plus the product of the mass of the body and square of the distance between the parallel axes.

BC Q R lies outside AB and is nearer to the greater force Law of parallel forces : If a system of coplanar parallel forces acting on a rigid body keep it in equilibrium, then 1) the sum of like parallel forces is equal to the sum of unlike parallel forces or the algebraic sum of the forces is zero and 2) the sum of clockwise moments is equal to the sum of anticlockwise moments or the algebraic sum of the moments at a point is zero. (This is known as principle of law of moments) When the resultant external torque on a system is zero, the angular momentum of the system remains constant. I11 = I 2 2 == constant. Circus acrobats, divers and ballet dancers take advantage of this principle. When polar ice cap melts, the duration of the day increases.

GRAVITATION
Synopsis :
1. All forces in nature can be classified under three categories depending upon their relative strengths. They are (i) gravitational force, (ii) electromagnetic force and (iii) nuclear force. 2. Fundamental forces of the universe: a) Gravitational Force: i) It is the weakest of all the forces but has the longest range. ii) It is because of attraction between particles due to the property of mass. iii) Since it is a weak force, the force effects are considerable only when the interacting objects are massive. iv) It provides the large scale structure for the universe. b) Electromagnetic force: i) It is a strong force between two charged particles and has a long range. ii) It acts through electric and magnetic fields. iii) It can be attractive as well as repulsive. iv) According to quantum field theory electromagnetic force between two charges is mediated by exchange of Photons. c) Nuclear force: i) They are a short range, strong force of attraction between nucleons, which provides stability to the nucleons. ii) It is the strongest of all the fundamental forces and has a range of 1 fermi = 1015 m. 3. a) Order of Range Range of Gravitational force > Range of Electromagnetic force > Range of nuclear force. b) Order of strength: Nuclear force > Electromagnetic force > Gravitational force 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. The ratio of relative strengths of nuclear, electromagnetic and gravitational forces is 1 : 1015 : 1035. Aryabhat in his famous book "Aryabhatiyam" suggested that earth is a solid sphere and it spins around itself. In Rigveda, paths of planets in solar system were suggested to be elliptical. In "Thaithireeya Aruna Patham", existence of several solar systems moving under the influence of a great central force was suggested. The geocentric theory was proposed by Ptolemy. According to this theory, all the planets revolve round the earth in circular orbits, the earth being at the centre. The heliocentric theory was proposed by Copernicus. According to this theory, all the planets revolve round the Sun in circular orbits, the Sun being at the centre. 10. Keplers laws confirm the heliocentric theory.

Gravitation 11. Keplers first law of motion (Law of orbits) : All the planets revolve round the Sun in elliptical orbits with the Sun at one of the foci. 12. Planets are nine in number which revolve round the Sun and have self rotation. The order of the planets revolving round the Sun as we move away from the Sun is Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. 13. Jupiter is the biggest planet and Mercury is the smallest planet. 14. The planet which is nearest to the Earth is Venus. 15. The moon is the satellite of the earth. Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon is 1.6 ms2 or 1/6 that of the earth. 16. Mercury and Venus have no satellites, Earth and Pluto have each one satellite, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune have 2, 16, 22, 12 and 6 satellites respectively. 17. Keplers second law : (Law of areas) : The radius vector joining a planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal intervals of time. (I = constant). This law is a direct consequence of the law of conservation of angular momentum. a) A planet moves fastest when it is nearest to the Sun (perihelion or perigee) and moves slowest when it is farthest from the sun (aphelion or apogee). b) The line joining the sun and the earth sweeps out equal areas is equal intervals of time i.e. a real velocity is constant. c) A real velocity is
dA L = dt 2m dA 1 2 = r dt 2

L is the angular momentum of the planet of mass m in the given orbit.

d) Kepler's second law is a consequence of law of conservation of angular momentum e) According to second law a planet moves faster when it is nearer to sun and moves slower when it is far a way from the sun. f) According to II law Vmax rmin = Vmin rmax III law: Law of Periods: f) Square of the period of any planet (T2) about the sun is proportional to cube of the mean distance (R3) of the planet from the sun.
2 T1 2 T2

T2 R3 or T2/ R3 = constant.

3 R1

R3 2

g) According to third law, as the distance of the planet increases, duration of the year of the planet increases. h) Kepler's laws supported heliocentric or Copernicus theory. 18. The period of revolution of the moon round the earth is equal to the period of its self rotation. 19. Newtons law of universal gravitation : Every two bodies in the universe attract each other with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. 20. If m1 and m2 are the masses of two bodies and d is the distance between them, the gravitational force of attraction F which each exerts on the other is given by

Gravitation
G m1m 2 d2

F=

where G is called universal gravitational constant and is equal to 6.671011 Nm2kg2.

21. G was first accurately determined by Cavendish. It is a scalar quantity. 22. Properties of gravitational force: a) The gravitational force of attraction between two particles from an action and reaction pair, ie equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. b) Gravitational force is a central force i.e. it acts along the line joining the two particles. c) Gravitational force between two particles is independent of the properties of intervening medium. d) Gravitational force between two particles is independent of the presence of other particles. e) Principle of superposition: If a no. of particles interact with each other, the net force acting on a given particle is the vector sum of the forces acting upon it, due to its interaction with each of the other particles. f) They are long range attractive forces. 23. If two identical spheres each of radius r are kept in contact with each other, the gravitational force F between them is proportional to r4. 24. If two identical spheres each of radius r are separated by a certain distance and the distance between the spheres is maintained constant, the gravitational force F between them is proportional to r6. 25. Newton's third law of motion do not apply when (i) velocities of moving bodies are comparable to velocity of light and (ii) gravitational fields are very strong, e.g. gravitational field between objects whose masses are greater than the mass of sun. 26. Universal law of gravitation cannot explain the reason for gravity between objects and force of attraction between two bodies even when they are not in physical contact. GM 4 RG 2 27. The relation between g and G is given by g = R = 3 where M is the mass of the planet, R is its radius and is the mean density of the planet. 28. The value of g near the equator is 9.78 ms2 and near the poles it is equal to 9.83 ms2 and is zero at the centre of the earth. 29. Variations of g are due to i) shape of the earth (Pear shaped, more flattened at the Spole than at the Npole), ii) Spin of the earth, iii) Latitude, iv) Altitude and v) Local conditions. 30. Shape : Earth is flat at the poles and some what bulky at the equator. The polar radius is lesser than the equatorial radius by 21 km. Hence g is greater at the polar regions than at the equatorial region. 31. Latitude : i) Because of the spin of the earth, more centrifugal force acts on bodies near the equator. Hence g value is less at the equator.
2 2 ii) Variation of g due to rotation of the earth is given by g1 = g R cos where = latitude angle, =

angular velocity of earth. iii) The angular velocity of rotation of the earth is 7.27105 rads1. The linear velocity of a body at the equator is 0.465 kms1. iv) Spin of the earth does not affect the value of g at the poles. v) If the earth stops spinning, g increases slightly near the equator. vi) If the earth shrinks without change in its mass, g increases. 3

Gravitation vii) The reduction in value of g at the equator is 0.034 ms2 due to the rotation of earth. ( R2 = 0.034) viii) If the earth spins at 17 times the present speed, g becomes zero at the equator. ix) Isograms are the lines joining the places of equal g on the earth. x) With the help of isograms, mineral deposits and mineral oils are located. xi) Etova balance, Gradiometer, Gravimeter are the instruments which are used to measure even the slightest variations in g. 32. Altitude : i) As the height from the surface of the earth increases, the value of g decreases.
gR 2 2h 2 =g(1 R ) approximately or gh = (R + h) exactly.

ii) If g is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth and gh at a height h above the earth, then gh

33. Depth : i) As the depth from the surface of the earth increases, the value of g decreases. d ii) If d is the depth below the surface, then gd = g(1 R ). 34. Graph of variation of g with distance from the centre of earth: g depth Altitude distance from centre of earth

d=R

35. g above the earths surface is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the centre of the earth. 36. The value of g at the centre of the earth is zero. 37. The necessary centripetal force for a satellite is provided by the gravitational attraction of the earth. 38. According to 'field concept' a mass particle modifies the 'space' around it in someway and sets up a gravitational field. 51. Gravitational field strength is the force experienced by unit mass in the gravitational field. It is a vector. Its magnitude is equal to the value of g. GM
2 I= R

52. Propagation of gravitational fields : a) According to Einstein, gravity is because of distortion of space time due to the presence of matter i.e. Space time is curved because of the presence of matter b) According to General theory of relativity whenever mass particles are accelerated, the gravitational field around them changes and they are said to produce gravitational waves, which are ripples in Space time. c) It is difficult to detect gravitational waves, but there are observational consequences such as near a pulsar, Black hole or when a massive star undergoes a gravitational collapse. 4

Gravitation d) According to quantum theory all fields are quantum in nature including gravity. According to quantum theory of gravity, gravitational force between two mass particles is mediated by a particle called graviton. e) A graviton has zero rest mass, travels with the velocity of light, therefore gravitational field propagates with the velocity of light. 53. Evolution of stars, cold stars (white dwarf Neutron stars) and Black holes: Life cycle of a star: a) A star is formed when, a large amount of interstellar gas, mostly H2 and He, starts to collapse on itself due to the gravitational attraction between the gas atoms or molecules. b) As the gas contracts it heats up due to atomic collisions. c) As the gas continues to contract, the collision rate increases to such an extent, that the gas becomes very hot, and the gas atoms are stripped off their electrons, and the matter is in a completely ionized state, containing bare nuclei and electrons. Such a state of matter is called plasma state. d) Under the conditions specified above, the bare nuclei have enough energy to fuse with each other (Nuclear fusion). Hydrogen nuclei fuse in such a manner to form Helium with a release of a large amount of energy in the form of radiation. e) The radiation emitted in this process is mostly emitted in the form of visible light, UV light, IR light etc., from its outer surface. This radiation is what causes the star to shine, which makes them visible (Ex. Sun and other visible stars) f) The star at this stage is halted from gravitational collapse (contraction) since the gravitational attraction of matter in it, towards the centre of the star is balanced by the out ward radiation pressure. A star will remain stable like this for millions of years, until it runs out of nuclear fuel such as H2 and He. g) The more massive a star is, faster will be the rate at which it will use its fuel because greater energy is required to balance the greater gravitational attraction, owing to greater mass i.e. massive stars burn out quickly. h) When the nuclear fuel is over, i.e. when the star cools off, the radiation pressure is not sufficient to halt the gravitational collapse. The star then begins to shrink with tremendous increase in the density. The star eventually settles into a white dwarf, Neutron star or a Black hole depending upon its initial mass. 54. Formation of white dwarfs: a) For a star to become a white dwarf, initial mass must be less than ten solar masses. (M < 10 Ms where Ms is the mass of the sun) b) As the star collapses after cooling off, the radiation emitted due to fusion of remaining H2 nuclei at the outer edge of the core, causes the lighter outer mantle of the star to expand to several times its original diameter. Such an expanding star is called a "Red Giant" c) After several millions of years., the H2 fuel is exhausted and the material from the outer mantle of the Red giant is down off and the remaining core left over, which is very dim is called white dwarf. d) A white dwarf is barely visible and has a mass of less than 1.4 Ms. e) Chandrashekar limit: The maximum mass that a white dwarf can have is called Chandrashekar limit, which is 1.4 Ms. A white dwarf cannot have a mass greater than 1.4 Ms. f) The volume of a white dwarf is about 10-6 times the volume of the original star.

PDF Watermark Remover DEMO : Purchase from www.PDFWatermarkRemover.com to remove the waterma

Gravitation g) In the white dwarf stage further gravitational collapse is halted due to the balance between repulsion of electrons and gravitational attraction. The repulsion between electrons is called degenerate electron pressure or degeneracy pressure. h) The degeneracy pressure is because all the lower available quantum energy states, is filled up by electrons. The pauli exclusion principle prevents further filling up of these energy states. This causes the remaining electrons to fill up higher energy levels causing the required effect. In the white dwarf there is complete break down of atomic structures. i) Matter in a white dwarf has a very high density. A white dwarf having the mass of the sun has approximately one sixth of the earth. j) If the mass is greater than 1.4 Ms, the degenerate electron pressure between electrons will not be able to halt further gravitational collapse. The star than collapses into a neutron star or a black hole. 55. Formation of Neutron Stars: a) For a star to become a neutron star, its initial mass must be greater than ten solar masses. (M>10Ms) b) As a star with initial mass > 10Ms cools off the large mass of the star causes it to contract abruptly and the temperature of the core rises over 100 billion degrees and when out of fuel it explodes violently. The explosion flings most of the star matter into space and is called a supernova. A supernova explosion is very bright and outshines the entire light from the galaxy. c) The mass of the matter left behind is greater than 1.4 Ms. d) If the mass of the left over matter is between 1.4 Ms and 3 Ms Neutron stars evolve. e) When the mass of the left over matter lies in the range 1.4 Ms and 3 Ms, the repulsion between electrons will not be sufficient to stop gravitational collapse. Under such conditions, the protons and electrons present in the star combine to form neutrons. After the formation of neutrons, the outward degeneracy pressure between neutrons prevents further gravitational collapse, and the matter left over is the Neutron star. f) Neutron star, has a definitely much larger than a white dwarf and has a radius of about 20 kms. g) Neutron stars are also called pulsars, because they emit regular pulses of radio waves. h) Neutron stars are not visible. 56. Formation of black holes: a) Black holes are objects in space, whose gravitational field is so strong that even light cannot escape from it. We cannot see black holes because light emitted by them, would not reach us, however its gravitational effect, will be felt by other objects. b) The possible existence of a black hole was first pointed out by John Michell (1783). c) The phrase black hole was first coined by John wheeler. d) Karl Schwarzschild predicted the existence of a dense object into which other objects could fall, but out of which no object or even light could ever come out. He predicted a magic sphere around this dense object through which nothing can move outwards. The radius of this sphere is known as Schwarzschild radius (Rs).
2GM

Schwarzchild radius is R =

Gravitation e) Any object would be a black hole if and only all of its mass is inside a sphere with a radius equal to Schwarzchild radius. At the Schwarzchild radius escape velocity is equal to the speed of light. This boundary is called the event horizon. f) Any event that occurs, within the event horizon cannot be observed from outside it. g) Black holes have infinitely large density. The matter present inside is called singularity. h) Any object, even light, present within the event horizon will be sucked into the black hole i) Stars turn into black holes, when the mass of the remaining matter after a supernova explosion is greater than 3Ms. The initial mass being greater than 10Ms. j) When the mass of the remaining star is greater than 3Ms even the degeneracy pressure between neutrons cannot prevent, the gravitational collapse and Black holes are formed. k) Evidences for existance of black holes i) Cygnus XI is a binary star, which contains a visible star moving around an unseen compansion and which emits X rays. It is they believed that the unseen companion is a black hole, which sucks off matter from the visible star. As the matter moves towards the Black hole it gets very hot (about 100 billion degrees) and emits X - rays. ii) Quasars (Quasi Stellar radio sources): Are very distant objects which emit powerful radio waves. A Quasar is an entire galaxy under going a gravitational collapse, due to the presence of a super massive black hole at the galactic center. 57. Formation of black holes:

Massive Star (energy source (hydrogen) decreases) Red giant stage (material particles blown off) White dwarf stage (Chandrasekhar limit exceeded) Super nova (further core collapse) Neutron star (further core collapse) Black hole

Non - Inertial frames: a) Frames of reference in which Newton Laws are not applicable. b) Pseudo Force: Force acting on an object relative to an observer in a non - inertial frame, without any interaction with any other object of the universe. c) Pseudo force exist for observers only in non - inertial frames, such forces have no existence relative to an inertial frame. d) If a is the acceleration of a non - inertial frame.

The centrifugal force is given by r . (V = speed of object relative to inertial frame) 63. Inertial mass and gravitational mass: a) Inertial mass (m1): The inertial mass of a body is the ratio of the force acting on the body to the acceleration produced by the force. b) It is difficult to measure inertial mass. c) Gravitational Mass (mg) : If is the ratio of the gravitational force acting on a body to the acceleration due to gravity. d) Gravitational mass can be measured using spring balance and common balance e) Inertial and gravitational mass of a body are equal. 64. PRINCIPLE OF EQUIVALENCE: When experiments are conducted in inertial and non inertial frames under the same conditions, give the same results, the frames are to be identical. This is the principle of equivalence. 8

SIMPLE HARMONIC MOTION


Synopsis :
1. 2. The motion that repeats itself after regular intervals of time is called periodic motion. If a particle in the periodic motion moves to and fro over the same path, the motion is said to be vibrating or oscillating. e.g. : Oscillations of the balance wheel of a watch, stretched violin string, loaded spring etc., 3. Damped Oscillations: Many oscillating bodies do not move back and forth between precisely fixed limits, because frictional dissipate the energy of motion. Such oscillations are called damped oscillations. Ex: Stretched violin string soon stops vibratory. 4. Equilibrium Position: the point at which no net force acts on the oscillating body is known as equilibrium position or Mean position. i) At the Mean position displacement of the body is Minimum. ii) At the Mean position velocity of the body is Maximum. iii) At the Mean position acceleration of the body is Minimum. iv) At the mean position P. E. of the body is Minimum. v) At the Mean position K.E. of the body is Maximum 5. Extreme Position: the point at which maximum force acts on the oscillating body is known as Extreme Position. i) At the extreme position displacement of the body is maximum. ii) At the extreme position velocity of the body is minimum. iii) At the extreme position acceleration of the body is maximum. iv) At the extreme position P. E. of the body is maximum v) At the extreme position K. E. of the body is minimum. 6. If a particle moves along a straight line with its acceleration directed towards a fixed point in its path and the magnitude of the acceleration is directly proportional to the displacement from its equilibrium position, then it is said to be in simple harmonic motion. 7. 8. 9. If the to and fro motion is along a straight line it is called linear SHM. If the displacement is measured in terms of angles then it is called angular SHM. A particle in SHM has (a) variable displacement, (b) variable velocity, (c) variable acceleration and (d) variable force. Examples for linear SHM are 1. Vertical oscillations of a loaded spring. 2. Oscillations of a paper boat on water waves. 3. Vibrations of a tuning fork. 4. Oscillations of a simple pendulum with small amplitude etc. 10. Examples for angular SHM are i) The oscillations of a freely suspended magnet in the earths magnetic field. ii) Oscillations of a torsional pendulum. iii) Oscillations of a balancing wheel in a watch. 11. The time taken for one complete vibration or oscillation is called time period (T). 12. The number of oscillations or vibrations made per second is called frequency (n). 13. The maximum displacement of the particle measured from the equilibrium position is called amplitude (r or). 1

Simple Harmonic Motion 14. Phase: Phase at any instant is that which gives the state of the vibrating particle with respect to time in a specified direction with reference to a fixed point (Mean position) Ex: (1) If the phase is zero, ie., the particle is crossing the mean position. (2) If the phase is /2 ie., the particle is at the extreme position. 15. The initial phase at t = 0 of a particle in S. H. M. is called phase constant or epoch (). Ex: If Y = A sin (t + /4) at t = o = /4 16. Representation of S. H. M.: The motion of a particle executing periodic motion along a circular path is not simple harmonic motion. But the foot of the perpendicular dropped from the instantaneous position of a particle, executing periodic motion along any diameter is simple harmonic motion. In general the simple harmonic motion is represented as Y = A sin (w t + ) Y = instantaneous displacement A = Amplitude Wt + = phase; is called initial phase. i) If the motion starts from Mean Position = 0 ii) If the motion starts from the extreme position = /2 17. Simple harmonic motion can be expressed by periodic functions like Asint, Acos t, or combination of these functions. Y = A sin wt + B cos t 18.

CHARACTERISTICS OF S. H. M. 19. Instantaneous displacement: The distance of the particle from mean position in a particular direction at any instant of time is known as instantaneous displacement. It is given by Y = A sin (t + ) If the particle starts from Mean position, = 0 then i) Y = 0, at Mean position ii) Y = A at extreme position A iii) Y = at = t = 30 = /6 or after a time interval t = T/12 sec. 2 A iv) Y = at = t = 45 = /4 or t = T/8 sec. 2 v) Y =

ELASTICITY
Synopsis :
1. 2. Deforming force : The external force acting on a body on account of which its size or shape or both change is defined as the deforming force. Restoring force : The force which restores the size and shape of the body when deformation forces are removed is called restoring force. Deforming force and restoring force are not action reaction pair. Restoring force opposes the change in the size and shape of a body. 3. 4. Rigid body : A body whose shape and size cannot be changed however large the applied force is called rigid body. There is no perfectly rigid body in nature. Elasticity : The property of a body by virtue of which it regains its original size and shape immediately after the deformation forces are removed is called elasticity. Elasticity is a molecular phenomenon. It is because of cohesive forces. 5. 6. 7. Elastic body : A body which shows elastic behaviour is called elastic body. E.g. steel, rubber. Quartz is very nearly perfectly elastic body. Plastic body : A body which does not show elastic behaviour is called plastic body. E.g. putty, clay, mud, wax, lead, dough, chewing gum, butter wax etc. Out of the given materials, a body in which it is more difficult to produce strain is more elastic. OR The body which requires greater deforming force to produce a certain change in dimension is more elastic. a) steel is more elastic than rubber b) glass is more elastic than rubber c) water is more elastic than air d) springs are made of steel but not of copper because steel is more elastic than copper. 8. 9. By the process of hammering or rolling the body elasticity increases. By the process of annealing, the elastic property of a body is reduced. in making pendulum clocks) 11. FACTORS EFFECTING ELASTICITY : a. Effect of temperature : In general as the temperature increases the elastic property of a material decreases. b. Effect of impurities : Addition of impurity to metal may increase or decrease the elasticity. If the impurity has more elasticity than the material to which it is added, it increases the elasticity. If the impurity is less elastic than the material it decreases the elasticity. 12. Stress : The restoring force developed per unit area of cross-section of the deformed body is called stress. Restoring force F Stress = = Cross sec tional area A N dyne Unit= , , pascal m 2 cm 2

10. For invar steel (Fe-64%, Ni-36%) the elastic property is constant irrespective of change in temperature. (used

Elasticity iii) Pressure is a scalar, while stress is a tensor.


Stress is of three types :

i) Longitudinal stress : If the restoring forces are perpendicular to the area of cross-section and are along the length of the wire, the stress is called longitudinal stress. During longitudinal stress, the body undergoes change in length but not in shape and volume. ii) Tangential stress (or shearing stress) : If the restoring forces are parallel to the surface, the stress is called shearing stress. iii) Bulk stress (or volume stress) : If a body is subjected to equal forces normally on all the faces, the stress involved is called bulk stress. 14. Strain : The deformation produced per unit magnitude is called strain. change in length e = a) longitudinal strain = original length l b) shearing strain = = =

c) Bulk strain=

d) Transverse strain or lateral strain change in radius r = = original radius r e) shearing strain = 2 x longitudinal strain f) bulk strain = 3 x longitudinal strain g) longitudinal strain : shearing strain : bulk strain = 1:2:3 Shear strain is equivalent to two equal longitudinal elongation and compressional strains in mutually perpendicular directions. The maximum value of the stress within which the body regains its original size and shape is called elastic limit. 15. Hookes law : Within the elastic limit of a body, stress is directly proportional to strain. stress = E = constant strain dyne newton , SI : or pascal Unit of E : CGS : 2 cm m2 i) ii) Within the proportionality limit stress-strain graph is a straight line passing through the origin.

Upto this limit, Hookes law is obeyed. The smallest value of stress which produces a permanent change in the body is called elastic limit. If the wire is loaded beyond the elastic limit, a stage is reached where the wire begins to flow with no increase in the load and this point is called yield point. Beyond the yield point, if the load is increased further the extension increases rapidly and the wire becomes narrower and finally breaks. The point at which the wire breaks is called breaking point. Maximum stress required to break the wire is called ultimate tensile strength. The capacity of a material to withstand large stresses without permanent set is called resilience. The wire regains its original length if the elastic limit is not exceeded. The wire does not obey Hookes law between the proportionality limit and elastic limit. But wire regains its original length when the load is removed. A permanent set (OP) is produced in the wire beyond elastic limit. The stress required to reach the breaking point is called breaking stress. If the gap between elastic limit and breaking point (BD) of a metal is large, it is called a ductile metal. If the wire breaks soon after exceeding limit, the metal is said to be brittle. (If the gap BD is small).

17. Types of moduli of elasticity : There are three moduli of elasticity. 1) Young modulus Y 2) Rigidity modulus n 3) Bulk modulus K 1)
Youngs modulus : Youngs modulus is the ratio of longitudinal stress to longitudinal strain within the

elastic limit of a body.

SURFACE TENSION
Synopsis :
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. The properties of a surface are quite different from the properties of the bulk material. A molecule well inside a body is surrounded by similar particles from all sides. But a molecule on the surface has particles of one type on one side and of different type on the other side. The attractive forces between the molecules of a substance are called cohesive forces. The attractive forces between the molecules of a different substances are called adhesive forces. A molecule of water well inside the bulk experiences cohesive forces but a molecule at the surface experiences both cohesive and adhesive forces. This asymmetric force distribution is responsible for surface tension. The maximum distance upto which the cohesive force between two molecules exists is called the molecular range and of the order 109 m or 1 nm. An imaginary sphere drawn around a molecule with a radius of molecular range is called the sphere of influence of that molecule. Intermolecular force of attraction varies inversely as the eighth power of the intermolecular distance. The surface of the liquid behaves like a stretched rubber sheet. Surface tension is due to cohesion between the molecules of the liquid. Surface tension is the force per unit length of a line drawn on the liquid surface and acting perpendicular to it. F S.I unit is N/m. T= l Force required to pull a circular ring of radius r from the surface of water of surface tension T is F=4rT. Force required to pull a rectangular plate of length l and thickness t from the surface of water of surface tension T is F = 2(l + t)T. Force required to pull a circular disc of radius R with hole of radius r from the surface of water of surface tension T is F=2 (R + r)T. A slide is suspended from one arm of a balance and is counter balanced. Now the slide is lowered into a beaker of water until it just touches the surface of water. If m is the additional mass to keep the balance beam mg . Where l is length and t is thickness of slide. horizontal, then T = 2(l + b) When a cylindrical glass tube is closed at one end and it is made heavy such that it floats in the vertical 2rT + mg . position. If the depth of heavy end is h below liquid surface, then h = r 2 dg Drops of liquid of density d1 are floating half immersed in a liquid of density d2. If the surface tension of liquid is 3T . T, then the radius of the drop will be r = (2d1 d2 )g

17. A molecule in the surface has greater potential energy than a molecule well inside the liquid. The extra energy that a surface layer has is called the surface energy. 18. Surface tension of a liquid is also equal to the surface energy per unit surface area. Unit is J/m. 19. Surface energy is defined as the quantity of work done in increasing the surface area of the liquid through unity (also equal to the surface tension of liquid) work energy surface energy = = area area 20. Work done = surface tension x increase in surface area. 21. At constant temperature, liquid surface does not obey Hookes law, and surface tension is independent of the surface area. 22. The free liquid surface tries to attain minimum surface area. This is the reason for a free liquid drop (like rain drop) to attain a spherical shape. 23. The work done (W) in blowing a soap bubble of radius r is W = 8r2T.

24. Work done in increasing the area of circular soap film from radius r1 to r2; W = 2T[r22 r12 ] .

Surface tension
2 2 25. Work done in increasing the radius of a bubble from r1 to r2 is given by W = 8( r2 r1 )T. 26. When a number of small liquid drops coalesce to form a large drop, energy is released (since surface area decreases). 27. Energy is required to break a liquid drop into smaller drops (since surface area increases). 28. The work done by an agent to split a liquid drop of radius R into n identical drops is W = 4R2T(n1/31) where T is surface tension. 29. The amount of energy evolved when n droplets of a liquid of radius r combine to form a large drop is E = 4r2T(nn2/3). 30. n drops each of radius r combine to form a big drop of radius R. Then the work done (or) the energy expended is 4T(nr 2 R2 ) . 31. Factors influencing surface tension : a) Temperature : Usually it decreases with increase of temperature. When temperature of liquid increases K.E. of its molecules also increase. Hence cohesive forces between the molecules become weak. At critical temperature the interface between liquid and its vapour disappear and so surface tension of a liquid becomes zero. The surface tension of molten cadmium and molten copper increases with increase of temperature. Surface tension of a liquid is zero at its boiling point. b) Impurities : If the liquid surface is contaminated by impurities, its surface tension decreases. e.g. when oil or kerosene is sprayed on water surface, its surface tension decreases. Mosquito breed floating on water can be destructed using this technique. Surface tension increases when an inorganic substance (highly soluble) is dissolved in water. e.g. When NaCl, ZnSO4 are dissolved, surface tension of water increases. Surface tension decreases when an organic substance is dissolved (weakly soluble) in water. e.g. When soap is mixed with water surface tension decreases. Surface tension of soap solution is about 32 dy cm1. 32. Of all liquids, mercury has maximum surface tension. 33. Angle of contact : It is the angle between the tangent drawn at the point of contact of a solid and liquid and the surface of solid within the liquid. 34. The angle of contact may assume any value between 0 and 180. 35. The angle of contact depends on solid-liquid pair, temperature and impurities. 36. The angle of contact is not altered by the amount of inclination of solid object in the liquid. 37. is independent of manner of contact i.e. glass plate in a liquid or liquid drop on a plate or liquid in a solid vessel. 38. Angle of contact increases with increase in temperature. 39. For pure water and glass, the angle of contact is zero. 40. Angle of contact decreases on adding soluble impurity, detergent and wetting agent to a liquid. 41. For mercury and glass, angle of contact is about 140 ~. 139C. 42. (a) For Ag and H2O angle of contact is 90. (b) For ordinary water lies between 8 and 18. (c) Angle of contact of chromium with water is as high as 160. 43. If a liquid wets the solid, then the angle of contact is less than 90 and if the liquid doesnt wet the solid, then the angle of contact is greater than 90. 44. Angle of contact in case of solid, liquid and air in contact :

a) If T2 is greater than T3, cos will be positive i.e., will be less than 90. b) If T2 is less than T3, cos will be negative i.e., will be between 90 and 180. c) If T2>T1+T3, there will be no equilibrium, and the liquid will spread over the solid. Capillarity : The property of rise or depression of the liquid due to surface tension in a tube is known as capillarity. Oil ascends in a wick due to capillarity. Flow of ink through a nib is due to capillarity. A painters brush under water has its hair spread but on withdrawal from water they adhere to each other due to surface tension. Ploughing of land brings moisture to the top by capillary action. The addition of a detergent decreases the surface tension and angle of contact. Wetting agents are used in detergents in order to clean clothes. The addition of a water proofing agent like waxy substance to a liquid increases angle of contact. If the angle of contact () is acute ( < 90), there will be capillary rise. e.g. : water in glass capillary. If the angle of contact () is obtuse ( > 90), there will be capillary depression. e.g. : mercury in capillary. If the angle of contact is 90, there will be neither rise nor fall. e.g. : water in silver capillary. Rise of liquid in tubes of insufficient length : If a liquid can rise upto a height h in the tube but its total length outside the water surface is less than h the liquid will not overflow out of the tube. Instead of it, the liquid will rise to the top of the tube. Excess pressure in a drop of liquid of radius r is given by P = 2T/r. Excess pressure in a soap bubble of radius r is given by P = 4T/r. Excess pressure inside a soap bubble present in a liquid P = 2T/r, where r is radius and T is surface tension. If the surface be curved in two directions and radii of the two curvatures be r1 and r2 respectively the total difference of pressure on the two sides of the surface will be 1 1 given by P= T + . r1 r2
r1 r2

61. Pressure difference across a surface film :

a) When free surface of the liquid is plane (fig a), the surface tension acts horizontally and its normal component is zero, thus no extra pressure is communicated to the inside or outside. b) When free surface is convex, the forces due to surface tension acting on both sides of a line on the surface have components acting downwards which gives excess pressure inside the liquid. c) Similarly when free surface is concave, the pressure inside the liquid is decreased. d) Thus there is always an excess pressure on the concave side. 62. In case of concave meniscus the pressure below the meniscus is lesser than above it by 2T p p . r

64. The spherical surface of the liquid in the tube is called meniscus. 65. If the adhesive force is large compared with cohesive force, the liquid has concave meniscus upwards. e.g. water and glass tube.

66. If the adhesive force is less than cohesive force, the liquid has a convex meniscus. e.g. mercury and glass tube. 67. Shape of liquid meniscus in a capillary tube : For a liquid molecule at P, force of adhesion Fa acts at right angles to the tube at the point P, force of cohesion Fc acts at an angle of 45 to the vertical. The resultant force on it will be the resultant of these two forces of adhesion and cohesion. a) When Fc= 2Fa , i.e., the cohesive force is 2 times the adhesive force the molecules of the liquid are neither raised nor lowered and the liquid surface remains flat or plane (fig a) b) When Fc< 2Fa , i.e., the cohesive force is less than 2 times the adhesive force, the molecules of (b) (a) the liquid near the walls of the tube are raised up against the tube making the liquid surface concave upwards as in the case of water.

If the radii of the two limbs of a U tube are r1 and r2, then the difference between the levels of a liquid poured in 2T 1 1 (here r2 > r1), d is density and T is surface tension of the liquid. it is h = dg r1 r2

72. If a vessel has a small hole of radius r at its bottom then the maximum height of water that can be filled into it 2T so that it does not leak out through the hole is h = . rdg 73. Jurins law : According to Jurins law, inversely the height of the liquid (h) risen in capillary tube is proportional to the radius (r) rh = constant 74. A graph between h and r is a rectangular hyperbola. 75. If a liquid rises to a height h in a capillary tube and the tube is inclined at an angle to the vertical, the length of the liquid column inside the tube increases but the vertical height to which the liquid rises remains the same. h L= where L = length of the liquid column inside the tube. cos 76. If a capillary tube is dipped in water in a satellite, the water level will rise to the full length of the tube. 77. For the liquids of low surface tension wetting property is more. 78. Critical temperature : The temperature at which surface tension of the liquid becomes zero is known as critical temperature. 79. In case of molten copper and molten cadmium T increases with increase of temperature. 80. Surface tension of liquid metals is very very high. 81. ST of a liquid is zero at its boiling point.

Surface tension
82. Over small ranges of temperature, the surface tension of a liquid decreases linearly with the rise of temperature. 83. T=To(1 t) where T is surface tension at tC, To is the surface tension at 0C and is the coefficient of surface tension. 84. When two soap bubbles of radii a and b coalesce under isothermal condition, the resultant bubble has a radius R such that R = a2 + b2 . 85. If two soap bubbles of radii a and b coalesce (a > b), then the radius of curvature of the interface between the ab two bubbles will be . ab 86. A spherical soap bubble of radius r1 is formed inside another of radius r2. The radius of the single soap bubble which maintains the same pressure difference as inside the smaller and outside the larger soap bubble rr is 1 2 . r + r 1 2 87. If a small drop of water is squeezed between two plates so that a thin layer of large area is formed, then the pressure inside the water layer is less than the pressure on the plates. The force pushing the two plates together is given by F = excess pressure area of the layer. 2T F= area d where d = thickness of layer. 2Tm 88. If m is mass of water drop, F = ( - density of water). d2 89. When two soap bubbles of different sizes are in communication with each other, the air passes from the smaller one to the larger one and the larger one grows at the expense of the smaller one. i.e., size of smaller bubble decreases and that of larger bubble increases. This is because excess pressure inside the smaller bubble (smaller radius) is greater than that in the larger bubble (greater radius). 90. Energy required to raise a liquid in a capillary tube: When a capillary tube is depressed vertically into a liquid which wets the walls of the tube, there is a rise of the liquid inside the tube. The energy required to raise the liquid in the capillary tube is obtained from the surface energy of the air glass surface.

FLUID MECHANICS
Synopsis :
FLUID STATICS 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. A substance which can flow is known as fluid. Hence the term includes both liquids and gases. The study of fluids at rest is called fluid statics. Solids are incapable of flow because the intermolecular forces are very strong. Hence solids possess a definite shape and volume. The intermolecular forces are weak in liquids. Hence liquids do not possess a definite shape but take the shape of the container. In the case of gases, the intermolecular forces are practically non-existent. Therefore gases possess neither a definite shape nor a definite volume. Density of a homogeneous substance is defined as the ratio of its mass to its volume. In other words density is the mass per unit volume. m Mathematically, d= , where d=density, m=mass and v=volume v S.I unit of density is kgm3. 7. 8. 9. Specific gravity of a material is defined as the ratio of its density to that of water at 4oC It is a mere number and has no units. It is also known as relative density. Specific gravity of a substance can be said to be numerically equal to its density in grams/c.c. If equal volumes of two liquids of densities d1 and d2 are mixed together, then the density d of the mixture is d=
d1 + d 2 2

10. If equal masses of two liquids of densities d1 and d2 are mixed together, then the density d of the resultant mixture is 2d1d 2 d= d1 + d 2 11. Pressure is defined as the ratio of the normal force acting on the area on which the force acts. F P= where P=pressure, F=normal component of force and A = area on which force acts. A S.I unit of pressure is pascal (Pa). Pressure is a scalar quantity. Fluid Pressure : 12. The pressure due to a liquid column of height h and density d is given by P = hdg where g = acceleration due to gravity This is called gauge pressure. 13. The pressure exerted by the atmospheric air at any point is equal to the weight of air contained in a column of unit cross sectional area and extending up to the top of the atmosphere. This is called atmospheric pressure. Often it is expressed interms of the height of an equivalent mercury column (in a barometer).

Fluid Mechanics 14. The total pressure P acting at the bottom of an open liquid column of height h and density d is given by P=Pa+hdg where Pa=atmospheric pressure 15. The total pressure P is called absolute pressure. 16. Absolute pressure=Gauge pressure + Atmospheric pressure 17. Atmospheric pressure=1.013105 Pa =1.013106 dynes/cm2 =76 cm of Hg =760 torr = 1.013 bar 18. If h is the difference in heights of mercury in the two limbs of a manometer, then the gauge pressure=hdg and the total pressure = hdg + atmospheric pressure 19. In a U-tube or Hares apparatus, if h1 and h2 are the heights of water and liquid columns (in balancing h method) respectively, then the specific gravity of the liquid= 1 . h2 20. A sphygmomanometer is a type of blood pressure gauge commonly used by physicians. 21. Pascals law : When ever pressure is applied on any part of a fluid contained in a vessel, it is transmitted undiminished and equally in all directions. 22. The Bramahs press works on the principle of Pascals law. It is used to compress cotton bales, extract oil from seeds and drill holes in large metal sheets. 23. If in a hydraulic press (Bramahs press), the area of the smaller and larger pistons are a and A and a force f is applied on the smaller piston, then the force F developed on the larger piston is given by F = fA . a

24. If we take n containers each having the same base area and each containing the same liquid to the same height h, the pressure acting on the bases of each container is equal. This is known as
hydrostatic paradox or Massons paradox.
1 hdg . 2

25. The pressure acting on the walls of a container having liquid in it is given by 26. The pressure at a point in a liquid is same in all directions.

27. Archimedes principle: When a body is immersed wholly or partially in a fluid at rest, the fluid exerts an upward force on the body equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body. 28. The loss of weight (W) of a solid when immersed in a liquid is given by W=vdg where v=volume of the displaced liquid, d=density of the liquid and g=acceleration due to gravity. 29. From Archimedes principle i) relative density of solid = weight of solid in air loss of weight of solid in water ii) relative density of a liquid = loss of weight of sinker in liquid loss of weight of sinker in water 30. Some applications of Archimedes principle are i) hot air (or helium) balloon

Fluid Mechanics

ii) determination of purity of precious metals like gold, silver etc. iii) submarines, etc. 31. The upward force is called the buoyant force or force of buoyancy. 32. Buoyant force depends on the volume of the displaced liquid and not on the volume of the body. 33. Buoyant force depends on the density of the liquid and not on the density of the body. 34. When a body is immersed in a fluid, when i) if the weight of the body (W) is more than the upthrust (WI) i.e., W>WI, the body will sink. ii) if the weight of the body (W) is equal to upthrust (WI) i.e., W=WI, the body will float, the whole if its volume being inside the liquid and iii) if the weight of the body (W) is less than the upthrust (WI) i.e., W<WI, the body will float with a part of it being outside the liquid. 35. The buoyant force acts vertically upwards through the center of gravity of the displaced liquid. 36. The center of gravity of the displaced liquid is called center of buoyancy. 37. When a body floats the vertical line joining the center of buoyancy and the center of gravity of the body is called central line. 38. When a floating body is slightly disturbed, the point where the vertical line from the center of buoyancy intersects the central line is called meta center. 39. If the meta center lies above the center of gravity, the body will remain in stable equilibrium. 40. If the meta center lies below the center of gravity, the body will be in unstable equilibrium. 41. If the meta center coincides with the center of gravity, the body will be in neutral equilibrium. 42. When a solid of density floats in a liquid of density d, then the volume fraction of solid immersed in liquid is given by Vi= where Vi=volume fraction of the solid inside the liquid. d Vo=1Vi where Vo=volume fraction of the solid outside the liquid. 43. When an ice block floating on water melts, the level of water remains the same. 44. If a floating piece of ice contains an air bubble, the level of water does not change when the ice metals. 45. If a floating ice block contains a piece of cork embedded inside, there is no change in the level of water when the ice melts. 46. A floating block of ice contains a piece of lead. The level of water decreases when the ice melts. 47. When a block of ice floating on a liquid denser than water melts, there is an increase in the level of the liquid. 48. When a block of ice floating on a liquid whose density is less than that of water melts, there is a decrease in the level of the liquid. 49. A man is sitting in a boat which is floating in a pond. If the man drinks some water from the pond, the level of the water remains the same. 50. A boat carrying a number of stones is floating in a water tank. If the stones are unloaded into the water, the water level in the tank decreases. 51. A hydrometer is used to measure the density of a liquid directly. 52. A lactometer is used to determine the purity of milk.

53. The study of fluids in motion is called fluid dynamics. 54. Fluids flow from one place to other because of pressure differences. 55. Streamline flow : The flow of a liquid is said to be streamlined or orderly if the particles of the liquid move along fixed paths known as streamlines and velocity of the particles passing one after the other through a given point on a streamline remains unchanged in magnitude as well as direction at that point. 56. Streamline in flow is also called laminar flow or steady flow. 57. A streamline in general follows the shape of the tube through which the liquid flows. Thus it may be straight or curved. 58. Steady flow or streamline flow : i) Streamline flow is that flow in which every particle flows along the path of its preceding particle. ii) The path taken by a particle in a flowing fluid is called its line of flow. iii) The tangent at any point on the line of flow gives the direction of motion of that particle at that instant. iv) Streamlines may be straight or curved. v) Two streamlines cannot intersect each other. vi) There is no radial flow in the tube. vii) The mass of fluid entering the tube in unit time is equal to the mass of fluid leaving the tube in unit time. viii) Pressure over any cross-section is constant. ix) The velocity at any point of the liquid remains the same throughout the time for which the flow is maintained. x) The energy supplied to the fluid for maintaining its flow is mainly used in overcoming the viscous drag between different layers. 59. Tube of flow : A bundle of streamlines having the same velocity of fluid elements over any crosssection perpendicular to the direction of flow is known as tube of flow. 60. Turbulent flow : If the velocity of a point of a fluid varies in time it is called turbulent flow. In turbulent flow the liquid flows in a disorderly fashion growing eddies and vortices. 61. Rate of flow : The rate of flow of a liquid is the volume of a liquid that flows across any cross-section in unit time and is given by volume 3 m /s Q= time Q=AV where A is the area of cross-section of the tube V is velocity of the liquid 62. Principle of continuity : In case of steady flow of incompressible and non viscous fluid through a tube of non-uniform cross-section, the product of the area of cross-section and the velocity of the flow is same at every point in the tube. A V =constant A1V1=A2V2 It is called equation of continuity 63. Equation of continuity represents the law of conservation of mass in case of moving fluids.

64. Total energy of a liquid : The total energy at any point in a flowing liquid is of three kinds. (a) potential energy, (b) kinetic energy, (c) pressure energy. a) Potential energy : The energy possessed by a liquid by virtue of its height above some arbitrary level is called potential energy. Potential energy of mass m of the liquid=mgh Potential energy per unit mass m=gh b) Kinetic energy : The energy possessed by a liquid by virtue of its motion is called kinetic energy. 1 Kinetic energy per unit mass= v 2 2 c) Pressure energy : The energy possessed by a liquid by virtue of the pressure acting on it is called pressure energy. Pressure energy in volume dw = PdV P Pressure energy per unit mass = Where is density of liquid. 65. Bernoullis theorem : If an ideal fluid (non viscous, incompressible) is in streamline flow in a tube of non uniform cross-section the sum of the pressure energy, kinetic energy and potential energy at any point per unit mass or per unit volume is constant.

Applications of Bernoullis theorem :

66. Torricellis theorem : The velocity of efflux of a liquid through an orifice (small hole) of a vessel is equal to the velocity acquired by a freely falling body from a height which is equal to that of liquid level from the orifice.
V = 2gh

67. Time taken by the efflux liquid to reach the ground is given by 2(H h) H t= g 68. Horizontal range of liquid is given by

Dynamic Lift :

72. The upward lift experienced by a body in motion when immersed in a fluid is called dynamic lift. 73. The dynamic lift experienced by a body when it is in motion in air is called aerodynamic lift. 74. Lift on an Aircraft wing : Aeroplane wings are so designed (i.e., streamlined) the velocity of air flow above the wing is higher than the velocity of air flow under the wing. This difference of air speeds, in accordance with Bernoullis principle, creates pressure difference, due to which an upward force called dynamic lift acts on the plane. Dynamic lift=pressure difference x area of the wing =(P2P1) A 1 2 2 = V2 V1 xA 2

75. Magnus effect : When spinning ball is thrown, it deviates from its usual path in flight. This effect is called Magnus effect and plays an important role in tennis, cricket and soccer etc. 76. If the ball is moving from left to right and also spinning about a horizontal axis perpendicular to the direction of motion, then relative to the ball air will be moving from right to left. The resultant velocity of air above the ball will be v+r while below it vr. So in accordance with Bernoullis principle pressure above the ball will be less than below it. Due to this difference of pressure an upward force will act on the ball and hence the ball will deviate from its usual path. 77. If ball is thrown with back spin, the pitch will curve less sharply prolonging the flight. 78. If the spin is clockwise, the pitch will curve more sharply shortening the flight. 79. When wind blows over a house with high speed pressure on the roof will be less that of inside the house and so the roof is lifted and blown away by the wind. 80.

VISCOSITY :

82. When water flows in a uniform horizontal tube there is fall in pressure along the tube in the direction of flow. The reason for this fall in pressure is that force is required to maintain motion against friction. This friction is nothing but viscous forces of the liquid.
dx v

v+dv

83. When liquid flows, it can be assumed to be composed of different horizontal layers. The upper layer tries to drag forward due to cohesive forces between the molecules of adjacent layers) the lower layer increasing the velocity of lower layer whereas the lower layer tries to drag backward the upper layer decreasing the upper layers velocity. So there exists a velocity gradient perpendicular to the plane of liquid. 84. The velocity of the layers goes on decreasing as the depth increases and finally the deepest layer in contact with the horizontal surface is at rest. 85. Viscosity : The property of a fluid which opposes the relative motion between different layers is called viscosity. 86. Viscosity is the internal resistance or friction exhibited between the layers of a fluid. 87. Viscous force : (Newtons formula) The viscous force (F) acting tangentially on a layer of a fluid is dV directly proportional to the (i) surface area A of the layer, (ii) velocity gradient which is dx
perpendicular to the direction of flow. dV F= A dx This law is called Newtons law of viscous flow in streamline motion. The constant of proportionality is called the coefficient of viscosity. 88. Coefficient of viscosity : The viscous force acting tangentially on unit area of the liquid when there is a unit velocity gradient in the direction perpendicular to the flow is called the coefficient of viscosity. It is also called coefficient of dynamic viscosity.

Effect of temperature : In case of liquids, coefficient of viscosity decreases with increase of temperature as the cohesive forces decrease with increase of temperature. in momentum of molecules increases with increase of temperature. 92. Effect of pressure : a) For liquids the value of increases with increase of pressure. Viscosity of water decreases with increase of pressure. b) For gases, the value of increases with increase of pressure at low pressure. But a high pressure is independent of pressure. 93. The quality of fountain pen ink depends largely on its viscosity. The normal circulation of blood through our arteries and veins depends on the viscosity of blood. The shape of ship or the car is streamlined to minimize the effects of force of viscosity. 94. The cloud particles come down slowly and appear floating in space due to the viscosity of air. 95. The cause of viscosity in liquids is the cohesive forces among molecules whereas in gases it is due to diffusion.

THERMAL EXPANSION OF MATERIALS


EXPANSION OF SOLIDS
Synopsis : TEMPERATURE
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. The invention of thermometer and development of the concept of temperature mark the beginnings of the science of thermodynamics. The temperature of a body is a state which determines the direction of flow of heat or the degree of hotness of a body. Heat is the cause and temperature is the effect. A body at a higher temperature need not necessarily contain more heat. Two bodies at the same temperature may contain different amounts of heat. Two bodies containing the same amount of heat may be at different temperatures. The direction of flow of heat from a body does not depend on its heat content but depends on its temperature. In principle, any system whose properties change the temperature can be used as a thermometer. There are four scales of temperature. They are Celsius scale, Fahrenheit scale, Reaumer scale and Kelvin (or Absolute or thermodynamic temperature) scale. 10. The most fundamental scale of temperature called Kelvin scale is based on the laws of thermodynamics. 11. The melting point of ice at standard atmospheric pressure is taken as the lower fixed point. 12. The boiling point of water at standard pressure is taken as the upper fixed point. The upper fixed point is determined by using Hypsometer. 13. The distance between the lower and upper fixed points is divided into definite equal divisions. 14. Different scales of temperature. 15. The reading on one scale can be readily converted into corresponding one or the other by the relation K 273 C F 32 R = = = 100 100 180 80 16. If in a certain arbitrary scale of temperature, p is the lower fixed point and q is the upper fixed point, any temperature x in this scale can be converted to Celsius or Fahrenheit scale by using the formula x p F 32 C = = 100 q p 180 17. The differences of temperature on different scales can be converted using the formula K C F R = = = 100 100 180 80

18. Different types of thermometers and their ranges : Clinical thermometer Mercury t4hermometer Alcohol thermometer Hydrogen gas thermometer 95F to 110F

Platinum resistance thermometer 200C to 1200C Pyrometer very high temperatures 19. Advantages of mercury as a thermometric fluid. i) Mercury remains as a liquid over a wide range of temperature ii) Pure mercury can be readily and easily obtained. iii) Its vapour pressure at ordinary temperature is negligible. 1

iv) It has high conductivity and low thermal capacity. So it quickly attains the temperature of the body by taking a negligibly small quantity of heat. v) It does not wet glass and is opaque. 20. Of all the thermometers, gas thermometers are more sensitive because of their high volume expansion. They have the same scale for all gases. 21. Using a constant volume hydrogen thermometer,

23. To determine the maximum and minimum temperatures attained during a day at a place, Sixs maximum and minimum thermometer is used. 24. If X is any thermometric property such as pressure or volume or resistance which has values at 0, 100 X t X0 100. and t on any scale as X0, X100 and Xt, then t = X 100 X 0 25. Temperatures on the Celsius scale denoted by the symbol C (read degrees Celsius). Temperature changes and temperature differences on the Celsius scale are expressed in C (read Celsius degrees). For eg: 20C is a temperature and 20 C is a temperature difference. In general, all substances whether they are in the form of solids, liquids or gases expand on heating except water between 0C and 4C and some aqueous solutions. This is known as thermal expansion.
EXPANSION OF SOLIDS :

26. Solids expand on heating due to increased atomic spacing. 28. At any particular temperature, the atoms are in a specific state of vibration about a fixed point called as equilibrium position in the lattice. 29. As the temperature increases, the amplitude of vibration of the atoms increases. 30. If the lattice vibrations are purely harmonic the potential energy curve is a symmetric parabola and there is not thermal expansion. 31. If the lattice vibrations are anharmonic, the potential energy of an oscillator is an asymmetric function of its position and thermal expansion is observed. 32.

The numerical value of coefficient of linear expansion of a solid depends on the nature of the material and the scale of temperature used. 41. The numerical value of coefficient of linear expansion of a solid is independent of physical dimensions of the body and also on the unit of length chosen. 42. The increase in length or linear expansion of a rod depends on nature of material, initial length of rod and rise of temperature. 43.

The condition required for two rods of different materials to have the difference between the lengths always constant is L11=L22. 53. A hole in a metal plate expands on heating just like a solid plate of the same size. 54. A cavity of a solid object expands on heating just like a solid object of the same volume. 55. If a hollow pipe and a solid rod of same dimensions made of same material are heated to the same rise in temperature, both expand equally. 56. If a thin rod and a thick rod of same length and material are heated to same rise in temperature, both expand equally. 57. If a thin rod and a thick rod of same length and material are heated by equal quantities of heat, thin rod expands more than thick rod. 58. A rectangular metal plate contains a circular hole. If it is heated, the size of the hole increases and the shape of the hole remains circular. 59. A metal plate contains two holes at a certain distance apart from each other. If the plate is heated, the distance between the centers of the holes increases. 60. The change in the volume of a body, when its temperature is raised, does not depend on the cavities inside the body.
Applications of linear expansion :

63. Pyrex glass has low . Hence combustion tubes and test tubes for hating purpose are made out of it. 64. Invar steel (steel+nickel) has very low . So it is used in making pendulum clocks, balancing wheels and measuring tapes. (Composition of invar steel is 64% steel and 36% nickel). 65. Metal pipes that carry steam are provided with bends to allow for expansion. 66. Telephone wires held tightly between the poles snap in winter due to induced tensile stress as a result of prevented contraction. 67. Thick glass tumbler cracks when hot liquid is poured into it because of unequal expansion. 68. Hot chimney cracks when a drop of water falls on it because of unequal contraction. 69. A brass disc snuggly fits in a hole in a steel plate. To loosen the disc from the hole, the system should be cooled. 70. To remove a tight metal cap of a glass bottle, it should be warmed. 71. While laying railway tracks, small gaps are left between adjacent rails to allow for free expansion without affecting the track during summer. Gap to be left (l)=lt=expansion of each rail. 72. Concrete roads are laid in sections and expansion channels are provided between them. 73. Thermostat is a device which maintains a steady temperature. 74. Thermostats are used in refrigerators, automatic irons and incubators. 75. Thermostat is a bimetallic strip made of iron and brass. The principle involved is different materials will have different coefficients of linear expansion. 76. A bimetallic strip is used in dial-type thermometer. 77. If an iron ring with a saw-cut is heated, the width of the gap increases. 78. Barometric scale which expands or contracts measures wrong pressure.

EXPANSION OF LIQUIDS
20. Liquids expand on heating except water between 0C and 4C. 21. The expansion of liquids is greater than that of solids (about 10 times). 22. Liquids do not possess any definite shape and require a container to hold them. Hence only cubical expansion is considered. 23. Since heat effects both the liquid and the container the real expansion of a liquid cannot be detected directly. 24. For liquids there are two types of cubical expansion i) coefficient of apparent expansion (a) 5

Coefficient of apparent expansion of a liquid is the ratio of the apparent increase in volume per 1C rise of temperature to its initial volume. apparent increase in volume a = original volume x rise in temperatur e The unit of a is C1. 26. Coefficient of real expansion is the ratio between real increase in volume per 1C rise of temperature and the original volume of the liquid. real increase in volume r = original volume x rise in temperatur e
r = V2 V1 V1( t 2 t 1 )

The unit of r is C1. 27. r = a + vessel = a+3. 28. If v=+ve and r<v, a=ve, the level decreases continuously when heated. 29. If v=+ve and r=v; a=0, the level will not change when heated. 30. If v=+ve and r>v; a=+ve, the level first falls and then rise when heated. 31. If v=0; r=a, the level will increase continuously when heated. 32.

ANOMALOUS EXPANSION OF WATER :

40. When water at 0C is heated, its volume decreases upto 4C and from 4C its volume increases with the increase of temperature. This peculiar behaviour of water is called anomalous expansion of water. Due to the formation of more number of hydrogen bonds, water has anomalous expansion. 41. As the temperature increases from 0C to 4C, the density increases and as the temperature further increases the density decreases. Hence water has maximum density at 4C. 42. Specific volume is the volume occupied by unit mass. It is the reciprocal of density. As the temperature increases from 0C to 4C, the specific volume decreases and as the temperature further increases, the specific volume increases. 43. Hopes apparatus is used to demonstrate that water has maximum density at 4C. 44. Rubber shows anomalous expansion like water. 45. Dilatometer is used to prove anomalous expansion of water. 46. Aquatic animals are surviving in cold countries due to the anomalous expansion of water. 47. During winter, in cold countries, even if the temperature falls far below 0C, the water in the frozen lakes or seas at the bottom remains at 4C. 48. When water freezes, it expands and consequently water pipes burst in winter. 49. When water at 4C is filled to the brim of a beaker, then it over flows when it is either cooled or heated. 50. A beaker contains water at 4C and a piece of ice is floating on it. When the ice melts completely, the level of water increases. 51. When a solid is immersed in a liquid (which does not show anomalous expansion) its apparent weight increases with the increase of temperature. 52. If W is the weight of a sinker in water at 0C and W1 is weight in water at 4C, then W1<<W. 53. As the temperature of water is increased from 0C to 4C, the apparent weight of a body decreases. At 4C the apparent weight is minimum. On further heating the apparent weight increases. 54. Water has positive coefficient of expansion above 4C and negative coefficient below 4C. 55. At 4C the coefficient of expansion of water is zero. 56. A wooden block is floating in water at 0C. When the temperature of water is increased, the volume of the block below water surface decreases upto 4C and beyond 4C it increases. 57. In a mercury thermometer, the coefficient of apparent expansion of mercury can be determined by

EXPANSION OF GASES
1. 2. 3. 4. Pressure, volume and temperature are the three measurable properties of a gas. Change in one of these factors results in a change in the other two factors. Pressure of a gas is measured by manometer Bourden gauge for high pressures and Mcleod gauge for low pressures. These work on Boyles law. Volume of a gas is measured by a gas burette or on Eudiometer. A gas has neither unique shape nor unique volume. The gas completely occupies the vessel in which it is placed.

Synopsis:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Thermodynamics deals with the relation between heat energy and other forms of energy. The thermodynamics coordinates of a system which are also called state variables are pressure, volume and temperature which are inter dependent. The temperature of a system can be expressed as a function of pressure and volume is f(P, V)=T. Calorimetery is the study of the measurement of quantities of heat. Quantity of heat is the amount of molecular energy stored in a body. Calorie : The quantity of heat required by one gram of water to raise its temperature from 14.5C to 15.5C is called one calorie. British Thermal Unit : The amount of heat required by 1 Pound of water to raise its temperature by 1F is called one British thermal unit. Pound calorie : The amount of heat required by 1 Pound of water to raise its temperature by 1C is called one pound calorie. 1 pound calorie=453.6 calories 1 calorie=4.186 joule Heat Capacity : 9. The amount of heat required to produce a specified change of temperature is directly proportional to the mass of the material. 10. For a given mass of material, the amount of heat absorbed is directly proportional to the temperature increase. 11. The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of the whole body by 1C is called heat capacity or thermal capacity. Unit is J/K or Cal/C. dQ C= dT Calorimetry:

12. Specific heat : The quantity of heat required by one gram of a substance to raise its temperature by 1C is called its specific heat. or Heat capacity per unit mass. Unit is J/Kg-K or Cal/g-C. dQ s= mdT dQ = msdT 13. If m is the mass and s is the specific heat of the material of the body, then the thermal capacity = ms cal/C. 14. Of all solids and liquids, water has the highest specific heat or specific heat capacity. The value is 1 cal/g/C or 4200 J/kg/K. 15. The specific heat of lead is the least among solids. (i.e., 0.03 cal/g/C) 16. In liquids, mercury has least specific heat.

17. Of all solids, liquids and gases, hydrogen has the highest specific heat. It is equal to 3.5 cal/g/C. 18. Specific heat depends upon the nature of the substance and does not depend upon mass, volume and heat supplied. 19. Specific heat of copper Specific heat of ice Specific heat of steam Specific heat of lead = 0.1 cal/g/C. = 0.5 cal/g/C = 0.45 cal/g/C = 0.03 cal/g/C.

The water equivalent of a body is the number of grams of water which require the same amount of heat as the substance for the same rise of temperature. Unit is grams. Water equivalent=ms grams. 23. Water equivalent is numerically equal to heat capacity. 24. Latent heat (L) is the quantity of heat required by unit mass of a substance to change its state at a constant temperature. Unit of L is cal/g or J/kg. 25. Latent heat of fusion is the quantity of heat required by unit mass of a solid to melt it at its melting point. 26. The latent heat of ice is 80 cal/g or 3.35x105 J/kg. 27. Latent heat of vapourisation is the quantity of heat required by unit mass of a liquid to vapourise it at its boiling point. 28. The latent heat of steam is 540 cal/g or 2.26x106 J/kg. 29. Latent heat of vapourisation of water decreases with the increase of pressure (i.e., increase of boiling point). 30. The latent heat of steam at boiling point t is given by L=6000.06t. 31. Latent heat of vapourisation decreases with increase in temperature. 32. Latent heat of a substance becomes zero at critical temperature. 33. Latent heat depends on the nature of a substance and pressure. 34. During the change of state, the formula used to calculate the heat lost or heat gained is Q = mL. 35. When one gram of steam at 100C is mixed with one gram of ice at 0C, the resultant temperature will be 100C and mass of steam condensed will be 1/3 gram. 36. When one gram of ice is mixed with one gram of water at 80C, the resultant temperature will be 0C and the composition of mixture will be 2 grams of water. 37. Steam causes more burns than water at 100C. The reason is that steam while condensing to water at 100C gives out heat at the rate of 540 cal/g. 38. Calorific value of a fuel is the quantity of heat liberated when one gram of the fuel is burnt completely. Unit is cal/g or J/kg. It is determined by using Bomb calorimeter or Bell calorimeter. 39. Calorific value of a food stuff is the quantity of heat liberated when a unit mass of the food stuff is completely utilised by the body. Unit is cal/g or J/kg. 40. Steam is used in heat engines as working substance because of its high latent heat. 41. Heavy water is used as coolant in nuclear reactors because of its high specific heat.

42. In extinguishing fire hot water is preferred than cold water since hot water becomes vapour quickly and vapours do not allow fire.
LAW OF MIXTRUES (OR) CALORIMETRY PRINCIPLE :

43. If no heat is lost or gained otherwise, the quantity of heat gained by the cold body is equal to the quantity of heat lost by the hot body. This is called the principle of the method of mixtures. 44. The principle of method of mixtures is Heat lost = Heat gained. 45. Calorimeter is generally made up of copper because it has low specific heat and high conductivity and hence attains the temperature of contents quickly. 46. To calculate the heat gained or lost when there is no change of state, we use the formula Q=mst. 47. When three substances of different masses m1, m2 and m3 specific heats s1, s2, s3 and at different temperatures t1, t2 and t3 respectively are mixed, then the resultant temperature is m s t + m2s2 t 2 + m3 s3 t 3 t= 1 11 m1s1 + m 2 s 2 + m 3 s 3 48. When x gram of steam is mixed with y gram of ice, the resultant temperature is 80(8 x y ) t= (x + y)

HEAT ENGINES :
114. Heat engine is a device used to convert heat into mechanical work. 115. Heat engines are of two types namely internal combustion engine and external combustion engine. a) Internal combustion engine is an engine in which heat is produced in the engine itself. Ex : Otto engine and Diesel engine. b) In external combustion engine, heat is produced outside the engine. Ex : steam engine. 116. Heat engine absorbs a quantity of heat Q1 from a source, performs an amount of work W, and returns to the initial state after rejecting some heat Q2 to a sink. The working substance, which is a gas or liquid undergoes a cyclic thermodynamic process. The source is at a higher temperature than the sink. 117.

A decreases in T2 is more effective than an equal increase in T1 in increasing the efficiency. 122. The efficiency of engine depends upon the temperature of source and sink. 123. The efficiency of the engines working between same source and sink is same. 124. The efficiency of a reversible engine is independent of the nature of the working substance. 125.

Carnot theorem : No engine working between two given temperatures can be more efficient than a reversible engine working between the same two temperatures have the same efficiency, whatever may be the working substance. 127.

128. The Carnots cycle working in the opposite direction can perform the following two functions. i) It can further root the colder body. ii) It can further heat the hot body. a) When reversed heat engine is used to further cool the colder system the arrangment is called a
refrigerator.

b) When the reversed heat engine is used to further heat the hotter system it is known as Heat pump. 129. Principle of Refrigerator : a) It will absorb an amount of heat Q2 from the sink (contents of refrigerator) at lower temperature T2.

As heat is to be removed from the sink at lower temperature, an amount of work equal to Q1 Q2 is performed by the compressor of refrigerator and then it rejects the total heat Q to the same (atmosphere) through the radiator fixed at its back.

130. Coefficient of performance : The ratio of the quantity of heat removed per cycle from the contents of the refrigerator to the work done by the external agency to remove it is called co-efficient of performance of the refrigerator. It is denoted by . Q Q2 = 2 = w Q1 Q 2 =

TRANSMISSION OF HEAT
Synopsis :
1. 2. 3. 4. In general heat travels from one point to another whenever there is a difference of temperatures. Heat flows from a body at higher temperature to a lower temperature. Heat is transferred or propagated by three distinct processes, conduction, convection and radiation. Conduction : It is a process in which the heat energy is transferred from a particle to particle, without the particles leaving the mean positions but vibrating with amplitudes which depend on the temperature. For conduction the medium is actively involved. 5. The substances through which heat is easily conducted or for which the rate of conduction is large are good conductors of heat. All metals are good conductors of heat. In metals thermal conduction is due to vibration of the atoms and free electrons. 6. The substances which do not conduct heat easily are bad conductors. The substances like cork, wood, cotton, wool are bad conductors. Almost all gases and liquids (except mercury) are poor conductors of heat. The bad conductors do not have the free electrons, therefore, they cannot conduct heat. Whatever little heat they can conduct is by vibrations of the molecules. Coefficient of thermal conductivity : 7. In steady state, the amount of heat Q transmitted through a conductor is directly proportional to i) the temperature difference between the faces (21)C. ii) the area of the cross-section of the slab A. iii) the time of the flow of heat t. iv) inversely proportional to the distances between the two faces d. A(1 2 )t Q d KA(1 2 )t ; Q= d
Q 1 2 = t (d / KA ) Where K is a constant that depends upon the nature of the material of the rod and is known as coefficient of thermal conductivity. The value of K depends on temperature, increasing slightly with increasing temperature, but K can be taken to be practically constant through out a substance if the temperature difference between its ends is not too great. Coefficient of thermal conductivity is defined as the quantity of heat flowing per second across a cube of unit edge when its opposite faces have a temperature difference of 1C. Unit of K is cal/cm/s/C or Wm1K1. The dimensional formula of K is M1L1T3K1. Temperature gradient : Rate of change of temperature with distance is called temperature gradient. Thermal conductivity of a good conductor is determined by Searles apparatus or Forbes method. Thermal conductivity of a bad conductor is determined by Lees method. When conduction takes place through two layers of a composite wall with different thermal conductivities, then Q K 1A ( 1 ) K 2 A ( 2 ) ; = = t d1 d2
Q ( 1 2 )A = d1 d 2 t + K1 K 2

15. If two slabs of thicknesses d1 and d2 and of thermal conductivities K1 and K2 are placed in contact, then the combination behaves as a single material of thermal conductivity K and is given by d + d2 (d + d 2 )K 1K 2 K= 1 or K= 1 . d1 d 2 K 1d 2 + K 2 d1 + K1 K 2 16. If three slabs have the same length and have cross-sectional areas A1, A2, A3 respectively and when heat flows from the upper surface to the lower without loss of heat, then the equivalent conductivity K is given by K A + K2A2 + K3A3 K= 1 1 A1 + A 2 + A 3 17. The thermometric conductivity or diffusivity is defined as the ratio of the coefficient of thermal conductivity to the thermal capacity per unit volume of the material. m Thermal capacity per unit volume= s =s where is density of substance.

If different rods are connected in series, then heat flowing per second is same, i.e., H1=H2=H3 and the net thermal resistance R=R1+R2+R3+ 22. If different rods are connected in parallel, then the net resistance R is given by
1 R = 1 R1 + 1 R2 + 1 R3 + ....

23. Thermal resistivity is the reciprocal of thermal conductivity. 24. Ingen-Haux experiment is used to compare thermal conductivities of different materials. If L1 and L2 are the lengths of wax melted on rods of thermal conductivities K1 and K2, then

Convection : The transmission of heat from one part to another by the actual transfer of particles of matter is known as convection. 27. Although conduction does occur in liquids and gases also, heat is transported in these media mostly by convection.

Transmission of Heat

28. Convection is the natural way of heat transmission in fluids. The region of a fluid when heated expands, becomes less dense and rises to the other parts of the fluids there by carrying heat. 29. Convection is a quicker process than conduction. For convection molecules must be relatively free. 30. A wind is a convection current in the atmosphere caused by unequal heating. 31. Trade winds and monsoons are convection currents on a global scale. 32. Near sea shore after the sun rise, the direction of wind is from sea towards the land (sea breeze) and after the sun set the direction of wind is from the land towards the sea (land breeze). 33. Types of convection : Convection is of two types. a) free convection or natural convection b) forced convection 34. Free or natural convection takes place in the still fluid, in this process the motion of the fluid particles will be due to their getting heated by the hot body. e.g., hot air rises by natural convection. In general natural convection is a consequence of gravity and always takes place vertically carrying the heat upwards. 35. Forced convection takes place when steady stream of air is sent past the hot air. E.g., cool air from open window enters the room and sends the hot air through ventilators. RADIATION : 36. It is the process of transmission of heat from one place to another without any material medium. 37. It is a quick process than conduction and convection. 38. In this process medium is not heated. 39. Thermal radiation : The heat energy transferred between the objects without the help of any medium is known as thermal radiation or radiant energy. (or) Heat energy transferred by means of electromagnetic waves is thermal radiation. 40. Nature and properties of radiant energy : i) It consists of long wavelength electromagnetic radiation. ii) The wavelength of these waves is nearly 800 nm to 4,00,000 nm. iii) It occupies the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. iv) It can be transmitted through vacuum. v) These waves propagate in vacuum with a velocity 3x108 ms1 like light waves. vi) It obeys laws of reflection, refraction, interference, polarization and diffraction. vii) The intensity of radiant energy obeys inverse square law. 41. Detectors of radiant energy : i) To detect radiant energy Bolometer, thermopile, radiomicrometer, pyrometer are used. ii) By using surface Bolometer radiation coming from the surface of a body is measured. iii) By using linear Bolometer, the distribution of energy in a black body spectrum can be explained. iv) Bolometer works on the principle that the resistance changes with temperature. 42. Prevosts theory of heat exchanges : i) Every object emits and absorbs radiant energy at all temperatures except at absolute zero. ii) The energy emitted by a body does not depend on the temperature of the surroundings. iii) The rate of emission increases with the increase in the temperature of the body. iv) If the body emits more energy than absorbed its temperature decreases. v) If the body absorbs more radiant energy than it emits, its temperature increases. vi) If two bodies continuously emit and absorb same amount of energy, then they are in dynamical thermal equilibrium. 43. The radiant energy emitted by a body depends on a) the nature of the surface b) surface area c) temperature of the body 44. Emissive power (e) : i) The amount of energy emitted per second per unit surface area of a body at a given temperature for a given wavelength range ( and +d) is called emissive power. ii) At a given temperature if the radiations emitted have a wavelength difference d, then the emissive power is equal to ed. iii) S.I unit of emissive power is Wm2 and its dimensional formula is MT3.

45. Emissivity (e) : The ratio of radiant energy emitted by a surface to radiant energy emitted by a black body under same conditions is called emissivity. i) for a perfect black body emissivity e=1. 46. Absorptive power (a) ; i) At a given temperature, for a given wavelength range, the ratio of energy absorbed to the energy incident on the body is absorptive power. Amount of radiant energy absorbed a = Amount of radiant energy incident ii) For a perfect black body, the absorptive power, a=1. iii) A surface can have different absorptive powers for different wavelengths. iv) Whenever radiant energy is incident on a surface, a part of it is absorbed, a part of it is reflected and the remaining part is transmitted through it. 47. Reflecting power (r) : Amount of radiant energy reflected r= Amount of radiant energy incident 48. Transmitting power (t) : Amount of energy transmitte d t= Amount of radiant energy incident 49. a+r+t=1 Here a is absorptive power, r is reflecting power and t is the transmitting power. 50. Perfect black body : i) A body which completely absorbs all the heat radiation incident on it is called a perfect black body. ii) Ferys black body and wiens black body are examples of artificial black bodies. iii) A furnace coated with lampblack or platinum black absorbs about 98% of the radiation incident on it. iv) A perfect black body is a good absorber and also a good emitter of heat. v) The reflecting power of a black body is zero. 51. Kirchoffs law : i) The ratio of emissive power to absorptive power of a substance is constant. ii) This constant is equal to the emissive power of a perfect black body at the given temperature and wavelength. e i.e., = constant = E a where E is the emissive power of perfect black body, e and a are emissive and absorptive powers of a given substance respectively. iii) Good absorbers are good emitters. iv) Poor absorbers are poor emitter. 52. Applications of Kirchhoffs law : i) A piece of blue glass absorbs red wavelengths at ordinary temperature. When it is heated strongly and cooled it appears brighter than a piece of red glass. ii) A piece of yellow glass absorbs blue wavelengths at ordinary temperatures when heated in dark room it appears blue because it emits blue colour. iii) Fraunhoffer lines in solar spectrum can be explained on the basis of Kirchhoffs law. They are absorption lines. iv) Black surfaces are good absorbers and so good emitters but bad reflectors. v) Highly polished surfaces are bad absorbers and so bad emitters but good reflectors. 53. Stefans law : i) The amount of heat radiated by a black body per second per unit area is directly proportional to the fourth power of its absolute temperature.
ET 4 E = T 4 where =stefans constant =5.67108 Wm2k4 ii) Dimensional formula of stefans constant is MT3T4.

iii) Radiant energy emitted by a hot body per second=eAT4 where e is the emissivity of the hot body, A its surface area, T its absolute temperature and the Stefans constant. iv) If the surface area of a body is more, it emits more heat energy. Hence it cools quickly. v) A hot copper cube cools in a lesser time compared to a hot copper sphere of same mass because of least surface area for sphere. vi) Stefans law holds good when the surrounding medium of the black body is vacuum. 54. Stefan-Boltzmanns law : If a black body at absolute temperature T is surrounded by an enclosure at absolute temperature To, then the rate of loss of heat energy by radiation per unit area is given by E= (T 4 To 4 )

55. Newtons law of cooling : The rate of cooling of a hot body is directly proportional to the mean excess of temperature of the body above the surroundings, provided the difference in temperature of the body and the surroundings is small.
4A3 + 2 d s = K 1 s where K = ms dt 2 d here =Rate of cooling. dt 1, 2 are the initial and final temperature of the body respectively. s is temperature of surroundings and K is the cooling constant. Newtons law of cooling is applicable when (i) the heat lost by conduction is negligible and heat lost by the body is mainly by convection (ii) the hot body is cooled in uniformly stream lined flow of air or forced convection (iii) the temperature of every part of the body is same. Newtons law holds good for small temperature differences upto 30C. In case of forced convection the law holds good for large difference of temperatures. dQ d = ms i) Rate of loss of heat of a hot body due to cooling dt dt Here m = mass of the body s = specific heat of the body ii) Specific heat of a liquid can be determined using Newtons law of cooling. iii) If m1, m2 and m3 are masses of the calorimeter, water and liquid, s1, s2 and s3 are the specific heats of the calorimeter, water and liquid and t1 and t2 are the times taken by water and liquid to cool from m s + m2s2 t = 1 . 2 to 1C, then 1 1 m1s1 + m 3 s 3 t2

iv) Newtons law of cooling is a law connected with the process of convection. v) It can be deduced from Stefan Boltzmanns law of radiation. vi) A cube, a sphere, a circular plate of same material and same mass are heated to the same high temperature. Among them the sphere cools at the lower rate because of its least surface area. 56. Diathermanous substances : The substances which allow the heat radiations to pass through them without getting themselves heated are called diathermanous substances. Ex : air, rock salt, fluorspar. 57. Athermanourl substances : The substances which do not allow the heat radiations to pass through them, but absorb heat and get themselves heated are called athermanous substances. Ex : glass, moist air, water, wood. i) Out of a rough black surface and polished black surface, the rough black surface emits more radiant energy than the polished black surface. ii) Cloudy day is cooler than clear day and cloudy night is warmer than clear night because moist air is athermanous. iii) Green houses are built with glass doors and roofs because glass is athermanous. iv) Cooking vessels are coated black outside because black surface is a good absorber and good emitter.
