A.

at a point in a liquid is proportional to the depth

B.

at any point in a liquid is the same at the same level

C.

is exerted equally in all directions at any point

D.

of a liquid at any point on the wall of its container acts in a direction perpendicular to the wall

If relative density of a metal is 19, what will be the mass of 20cm3 of the metal when immersed in water?

A.

380g

B.

400g

C.

360g

D.

39g

E.

180g

Correct answer is A

R.d = 19, therefore, density = 19gcm-3

mass = velocity x density

= 20 x 19

= 380g

The refractive index of liquid is 1.5. If the velocity of light in vacuum is 3.0 x 108ms-1, the velocity of light in the liquid is

A.

1.5 x 108m-1

B.

2.0 x 108m-1

C.

3.0 x 108m-1

D.

4.5 x 108m-1

E.

9.0 x 108m-1

Correct answer is B

n = \(\frac{\text{speed in air}}{\text{speed in glass}}\)

1.5 = \(\frac{3\times10^4}{\text{speed in glass}}\)

speed in glass = 2 x 108ms-1
