4.  256E

A body cools down from \(80^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) $\mathrm{to}$ \(70^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) in 5 minutes. The temperature of the same body will fall from \(70^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)$\mathrm{}$ $\mathrm{to}$ \(60^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)$\mathrm{}$ in:

If ${\lambda }_m$ is the wavelength, corresponding to which the radiant intensity of a block is at its maximum and its absolute temperature is T, then which of the following graph correctly represents the variation of T?

1.		2.
3.		4.

Heat capacity is equal to the product of:

1.  mass and gas constant

2.  mass and specific heat

3.  latent heat and volume of water

4.  mass and Avogadro number

When a block of iron floats in Hg at $0°C$, a fraction $K_1$ of its volumen= is submerged, while at temperature of $60°C$ a fraction $K_2$ is seen to be submersed. If the coefficient of volume expansion of iron is ${\gamma }_{Fe}$ and that of mercury is ${\gamma }_{Hg}$, then the ratio $\frac{K_1}{K_2}$ can be expressed as:

1. $\frac{1+60{\gamma }_{Fe}}{1+60{\gamma }_{Hg}}$

2. $\frac{1-60{\gamma }_{Fe}}{1+60{\gamma }_{Hg}}$

3. $\frac{1+60{\gamma }_{Fe}}{1-60{\gamma }_{Hg}}$

4. $\frac{1+60{\gamma }_{He}}{1-60{\gamma }_{Fe}}$

Hot water cools from 60$°\mathrm{C}$ to 50$°\mathrm{C}$ in first 10 minutes and from 50$°\mathrm{C}$ to 42$°\mathrm{C}$ in next 10 minutes. The temperature of surrounding is :

1.  $5° \mathrm{C}$

2.  $10° \mathrm{C}$

3.  $15° \mathrm{C}$

4.  $20°\mathrm{C}$

A pendulum clock runs faster by 5 seconds per day at \(20^{\circ}\mathrm {C}\) and goes slow by 10 second per day at \(35^{\circ}\mathrm {C}\). It shows the correct time at a temperature of:
1. \(27.5^{\circ}\mathrm {C}\)
2. \(25^{\circ}\mathrm {C}\)

A constrained steel rod of length l, area of cross-section A, Young's modulus Y and coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha$ is heated through \(t^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)$$. The work that can be performed by the rod when heated is:

2. $\frac{1}{2}$(YA$\alpha$t)(l$\alpha$t)
3. $\frac{1}{2}$(YA$\alpha$t)$\frac{1}{2}$(l$\alpha$t)
4. 2(YA$\alpha$t)(l$\alpha$t)
