13.(AC) When 3 kg mass is released the amplitude of its oscillations is 2m and at a distance 1m from the
equilibrium position we can find the speed of it using the relation v [(k / m)( A2  x2 )]1/2 then by
conservation of momentum we can find the resulting speed of the combined mass and the new amplitude
using the above relation which gives options (A) and (C) are correct.

14.(BCD) When the spring has maximum extension by conservation of momentum we use 5(3)  2(10)  7(v)

Ru = radius of capillary tube, r  mm = 0.5 mm.

 In all cases, Ru  r  0.5 mm
The pressure above the drop and below the drop is same i.e. atmospheric. But pressure due to length of
water drop i.e. hydrostatic pressure is always vertically downwards. To compensate for this the lower
meniscus has to be concave or convex or flat depending on the situation.

In an adiabatic expansion, volume increases, pressure decreases and as work is done at the expense of
internal energy, U  0
 Temperature decreases T  0. In an isobaric process, p = constant
So, U  0
and volume increases on heating. In an isochoric cooling, V  0

34.(B) When the plastic ball is in the container, it displaces water whose weight is equal to the weight of plastic
ball. When the plastic ball is in water, it floats and displaces water of equal weight. So, d remains constant
and h decreases.
When the stone is in the container, it displaces water whose weight is equal to the weight of stone. When
the stone is in water, it sinks and displaces water whose volume is equal to the volume of stone, So, d and h
decrease.
When ice cubes are in the container, before and after melting, displace same amount of water. So, d and h
remains same.
When temperature rises, balloon expands. So BF on it increases.
Thus, tension h increases and d also increases.
Hence, (i)  (p,t), (ii)  (p,s), (iii)  (q,t), (iv)  (r)

When x  0 is the rigid support, then node si formed at x  0. And at x  0, y is zero.
When x  0 is the flexible support, then antinode is formed at x  0. And at x  0, ymax is 2 A.

50.(66.36) First resonance occurs when v fork  ; where 1 is the length of air column in the tube  1  m

c 3
Second resonance occurs when v fork 3  2  m

So, first resonance occurs when water level in the pipe is 1   m and second resonance at 1   m.
