OR
A spring is stretched by applying a load to its free end. What type of strain produced in the spring?
Answer : Longitudinal and Shearing Strain is produced in spring.
3. When we start filling an empty bucket with water, the pitch of sound produced goes on changing. Why?
Answer : A bucket may be regarded as a pipe closed at one end. It produces a note of frequency,
v = v/4L
where v is the velocity of sound in air and L is the length of air column, which is equal to depth of water level from the open end. As the bucket is filled with water, the value of L decreases. Consequently, the frequency and hence the pitch of the sound produced goes on changing.

Case Study Based Question :
8. The motion repeated in equal interval of time is called the periodic motion. The smallest interval of time after which the motion repeats itself is called its time period (T). The reciprocal of T gives the number of repetition occurs per unit time which is termed as frequency of periodic motion. The functions which are used to represent periodic
motion are called periodic functions i.e., f(t) = A cos ωt.
As the function will repeat itself after time period T therefore f(t) = f(t + T) = f(t + 2T) = …………………. where, {T = 2π/ω}
Periodic functions can also be expressed as a linear combination of sine and cosine function i.e.,
f(t) = A sinwt + B cos ωt. In periodic motion, displacement refers to change in physical property like amplitude of sound wave, changing electric and magnetic fields etc.

11. Water on a clean glass plate spreads into a thin film but a small amount of water placed on a flat surface of wax forms into drops. Why?
Answer : The force of adhesion between the molecules of water and glass is more than the force of cohesion between the water molecules. Thus, when water is dropped on the glass plate, it spreads on it. On the other hand, the force of cohesion between water molecules is more than the force of adhesion between water and wax molecules. Thus, on account of this higher force of cohesion, water instead of spreading on wax forms into drops.
OR
Bernoulli’s theorem holds for incompressible, non-viscous fluids. How this relationship changed when the viscosity of fluid is not negligible?
Answer : The effect of viscosity, which is internal friction in case of fluids, is to dissipate mechanical energy of the fluid into heat. Thus, in case the viscosity of a fluid is not negligible, the quantity P + rgh + (1/2)pv2 goes on decreasing along the direction of flow of the fluid.

Define the terms molecular range, sphere of influence and surface film.
Answer : Molecular range : It is the maximum distance upto which a molecule can exert some appreciable force of attraction on other molecules. It is of the order of 10–9 m in solids and liquids.
Sphere of influence : A sphere drawn around a molecule as centre and with a radius equal to the molecular range is called the sphere of influence of the molecule. The molecule at the centre attracts all the molecules lying in its sphere of influence.
While studying the behaviour of a molecule under the influence of cohesive forces, we need to consider only the molecules lying in its sphere of influence.
Surface film : A thin film of liquid near its surface having thickness equal to the molecular range for that liquid is called surface film.

16. A tuning fork and an air column at 51 °C produce 4 beats in one second when sounded together. The same tuning fork produces 1 beat per second when the temperature of the air column is reduced to 16 °C. Determine the frequency of the tuning fork.
Answer : When the temperature of the air column is decreased, the speed of sound in the air column is
decreased.
Since v = v/λ therefore v is decreased. Since the number of beats per second is less at lower temperature therefore we conclude that the frequency of the air column is higher than the frequency of the tuning fork.
OR
Two sitar strings A and B playing the note ‘Ga’ are slight out of tune and produce beats of frequency 6 Hz. The tension in the string A is slightly reduced and the beat frequency is found to reduce to 3 Hz. If the original frequency of A is 324 Hz, what is the frequency of B ?
Answer :
If vB = 330 Hz and on decreasing tension in A, vA will be reduced i.e. no. of beats will increase, but this is not so because no. of beats becomes 3.
∴ vB must be 318 Hz because on reducing the tension in string A, its frequency may be reduced to 321 Hz, thus giving 3 beats with vB = 318 Hz.
