A gramophone record takes 5s to reach its constant angular velocity of 4\(\pi\) rads-1 from rest. Find its constant angular acceleration.

A.

0.4\(\pi\) rads-2

B.

0.8\(\pi\) rads-2

C.

1.3\(\pi\) rads-2

D.

20.0\(\pi\) rads-2

Correct answer is B

From the radiation:
V = +at, and if it starts from N & T, U = 0
And for angular motion, W = O + at
4R = aχ5
∴ a = (4a)/5 = 0. 8\(\pi\) rads-2

A person can focus objects when they lie beyond 75 cm from his eyes. The focal length of the lens required to reduce his least distance of distinct vision to 25 cm is?

A.

37.50 cm

B.

75.00 cm

C.

18.75

D.

25.00 cm

Correct answer is A

The least distance of distinct vision required = 25 cm.
∴ for the person to see an object clearly at 25 cm from the eye, the image must be formed at 75 cm on the same side of lens, at his near point.
∴ U = 25 cm; V = -75 cm (image should be virtual)
thus (1)/f = (1)/v +(1)/u
= (1)/75 + (1)/25
=(-1 + 3)/75 = (2)/75
∴f = (75)/2 = 37.50

The wavelength of the first overtone of a note in a closed pipe of length 33 cm is?

A.

33 cm

B.

44 cm

C.

22 cm

D.

17 cm

Correct answer is B

In a closed tube, the fundamental note occurs when the length of the tube l = (λ)/4,
the first over tone occurs when the length of the tube l = (3)/4λ.
λ = (4)/3 l = (4)/3 x (33)/T = 44 cm
