SECTION E (Case based questions)

34 The nature of a physical quantity is described by its dimensions. All the 4
physical quantities represented by derived units can be expressed in
terms of some combination of seven fundamental or base quantities. We
shall call these base quantities as the seven dimensions of the physical
world, which are denoted with square brackets [ ]. Thus, length has the
dimension [L], mass [M], time [T], electric current [A], thermodynamic
temperature [K], luminous intensity [cd], and amount of substance [mol].
The dimensions of a physical quantity are the powers (or exponents) to
which the base quantities are raised to represent thatquantity. Note that
using the square brackets [ ] round a quantity means that we are dealing
with ‘the dimensions of’ the quantity. In mechanics, all the physical
quantities can be written in terms of the dimensions [L], [M] and [T]. For
example, the volume occupied by an object is expressed as the product
of length, breadth and height, or three lengths. Hence the dimensions of
volume are [L] × [L] × [L] = [L3].
1. Dimensions of impulse equals to the dimensions of:
a) pressure b) work c) force d) linear momentum

2. The dimensions of torque is same as that of:

a) moment of force b) pressure c) acceleration d) impulse
3. Which of the following quantity is dimensionless
a) Angle (b) Strain (c) Specific gravity (d) All of these

4. Which of the following is not an application of dimensional analysis?

a) conversion of one system of units into units of other systems
b) to check the dimensional balance of an equation
c) to establish the relationship among various physical quantities
d) to find the value of the dimensional constant
35 Stress- Strain graph: 4

The

relation between the stress and the strain for a given material under tensile stress can
be found experimentally. In a standard test of tensile properties, a test cylinder or a
wire is stretched by an applied force. The fractional change in length (the strain) and
the applied force needed to cause the strain are recorded. The applied force is
gradually increased in steps and the change in length is noted. A graph is plotted
between the stress (which is equal in magnitude to the applied force per unit area) and
the strain produced.
i) The energy per unit volume of a strained wire is given by
(a) ½ x stress × strain (b) ½ x strain × load
(c) ½ x extension × stress (d) ½ x load × extension
ii) According to Hooke’s law, the force required to change the length of a wire by
x is proportional to
(a) x (b) x² (c) 1/x (d) x-2
iii) You are given two wires W1 and W2. Both are made of the same material and
are of the same length. The radius of cross-section of W2 is twice that of W1.
Same load is suspended from both of them. If the strain in W1 be 4, then
calculate the strain in W2.
(a) 8 (b) 4 (c) 2 (d) 1
iv) A steel wire is loaded by 2 kg weight. If the radius of the wire is doubled, then
its extension will become
(a) half (b) four times (c) one-fourth (d) double
