Which of the following statements about the universal gravitational constant, G, is true? 

A.

It is fundamental quantity

B.

It has dimension M-¹L³T-²

C.

Its S.I. unit is N m\(^2\)kg

D.

It is a vector quantity

Correct answer is B

The universal Gravitational constant(G) is a scalar quantity as it is not in a particular direction

dimensional formula =M-¹L³T-²

S.I. unit = Nm\(^2\)/kg\(^2\)

A current of 2A passes through a wire of resistance 4Ω for 3 minutes. Calculate the energy lost

A.

960J

B.

1440J

C.

2880J

D.

48J

Correct answer is C

Power = current[I]\(^2\) * Resistance[R] → 2\(^2\) * 4 → 4 * 4 = 16watts

time = 3minutes → 3 * 60 = 180s

Energy = power * time → 16 * 180 = 2880j

The radii of the base of two cylindrical tins, P and Q are r and 2r respectively. If the water level in p is 10cm high, would be the height of the same quantity of water in Q?

A.

4.5cm

B.

5.0cm

C.

7.5cm

D.

20.0cm

Correct answer is A

volume of cylinder = \(\pi r^2h\)

volume of cylinder p = \(\pi r^2 \times 10\)

= 10\(\pi r^2\)

volume of cylinder Q = \(\pi (2r)^2 h\)

= 4\(\pi r^2\)h

4\(\pi r^2 = 10 \pi r^2 h\)

h = \(\frac{10}{4} = 4.5cm\)

In what modulus is it true that 9 + 8 = 5?

A.

mod 10

B.

mod 11

C.

mod 12

D.

mod 13

Correct answer is C

9 + 8 = 17

17 + mod 12 = 1 rem 5

it is mod 12
