Samacheer Kalvi 11th Physics Guide Chapter 7 Properties of Matter 9

Question 4.
Explain elasticity using intermolecular forces.
Answer:
Elastic behaviour of solid. In a solid, atoms and molecules are arranged in such a way that each molecule is acted upon by the forces due to the neighbouring molecules. When deforming force is applied on a body so that its length increases, then the molecules of the body go far apart.

Question 5.
Which one of these is more elastic, steel or rubber? Why?
Answer:
Steel is more elastic than rubber. If equal stress is applied to both steel and rubber, the steel produces less strain. So Young’s modulus is higher for steel than rubber. Hence steel is more elastic than rubber.

Question 6.
A spring balance shows wrong readings after using for a long time. Why?
Answer:
When a spring balance has been used for a long time, it develops elastic fatigue, the spring of such a balance takes a longer time to recover its original configuration and therefore it does not give correct measurement.

III. Long Answer Questions:

Question 1.
State Hooke’s law and verify it with the help of an experiment.
Answer:
Hooke’s law states that for a small deformation when the stress and strain are proportional to each other.

It can be verified in a simple way by stretching a thin straight wire (stretches like spring) of length L and uniform cross-sectional area A spring is suspended from a fixed point O. A pan and a pointer are attached at the free end of the wire as shown in Figure.

Using a vernier scale arrangement the extension produced on the wire is measured. From the experiment, it is known that for a given load, the corresponding stretching force is F and the elongation produced on the wire is ΔL.
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Physics Guide Chapter 7 Properties of Matter 10

It is directly proportional to the original length L and inversely proportional to the area of cross-section A. A graph is plotted using F on the X-axis and AL on the Y-axis. This graph is a straight line passing through the origin as shown in Figure.
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Physics Guide Chapter 7 Properties of Matter 11
Variation of ∆L with F
∴ ∆L = (slope)F
Multiplying and dividing by volume,
V = AL,
F(slope) = \(\frac { AL }{ AL }\) ∆L
Rearranging, we get
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Physics Guide Chapter 7 Properties of Matter 12
i.e., the stress is proportional to the strain in the elastic limit.

Question 2.
Explain the different types of modulus of elasticity.
Answer:
There are three types of modulus of elasticity. They are:

  1. Young’s modulus
  2. Bulk modulus
  3. Rigidity modulus

Young’s modulus: When a wire is stretched or compressed, then the ratio between tensile stress (or compressive stress) and tensile strain (or compressive strain) is defined as Young’s modulus.
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Physics Guide Chapter 7 Properties of Matter 13
SI unit of Young’s modulus is Nm-2 or pascal.
Bulk modulus: Bulk modulus is defined as the ratio of volume stress to the volume strain.
Bulk modulus,
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Physics Guide Chapter 7 Properties of Matter 14
The negative sign in equation (1) means that when pressure is applied to the body, its volume decreases.
The rigidity modulus or shear modulus:
It is defined as rigidity modulus or Shear modulus,
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Physics Guide Chapter 7 Properties of Matter 15

Question 3.
Derive an expression for the elastic energy stored per unit volume of a wire.
Answer:
When a body is stretched, work is done against the restoring force (internal force). This work done is stored in the body in the form of elastic energy. Let us consider a wire whose un-stretch length is L and the area of cross-section is A. Let a force produce an extension l and it is assumed that the elastic limit of the wire has not been exceeded and there is no loss in energy. Then, the work done by the force F is equal to the energy gained by the wire. The work is done in stretching the wire by dl,
dW = F dl
The total work done in stretching the wire from 0 to l is
W = \(\int_{0}^{l} \mathrm{~F} d l\) … (1)
From Young’s modulus of elasticity,
Y = \(\frac { F }{ A }\) x \(\frac { L }{ l }\) ⇒ F = \(\frac { YAl }{ L }\) … (2)
Substituting equation (2) in equation (1), we get
W = \(\int_{0}^{l} \frac{\mathrm{YAl}}{\mathrm{L}} d l\)
Since l is the dummy variable in the integration, we can change l to l’ (not in limits), therefore

Question 4.
Derive an equation for the total pressure at a depth ‘h’ below the liquid surface.
Answer:
Let us consider a water sample of a cross-sectional area in the form of a cylinder. Let h1 and h2 be the depths from the air-water interface to level 1 and level 2 of the cylinder, respectively as shown in Figure (a). Let F1 be the force acting downwards on level 1 and F2 be the force acting upwards on level 2, such that, F1 = P1 A and F2 = P2 A Let the mass of the sample to be m and under equilibrium condition, the total upward force (F2) is balanced by the total downward force (F1 + mg), otherwise, the gravitational force will act downward which is being exactly balanced by the difference between the force F2 – F1
F2 – F1 = mg = FG … (1)
Where m is the mass of the water available in the sample element. Let p be the density of the water then, the mass of water available in the sample element is
m = ρV = ρA(h2 – h1])
V= A (h2 – h1)
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Physics Guide Chapter 7 Properties of Matter 17
A sample of water with base area A in a static fluid with its forces in equilibrium
Hence, gravitational force,
FG = ρA(h2 – h1)g
On substituting the value of W in equation (1)
F2 = F1 + mg
⇒ P2A = P1A + ρA(h2 – h1)g
Cancelling out A on both sides,
P2 = P1 + ρ (h2 – h1)g … (2)
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Physics Guide Chapter 7 Properties of Matter 18
If we choose level 1 at the surface of the liquid (i.e., air-water interface) and level 2 at a depth ‘h ’ below the surface (as shown in Figure), then the value of h1 becomes zero (h1 = 0) when P1 assumes the value of atmospheric pressure (say Pa). In addition, the pressure (P2) at a depth becomes P. Substituting these values in the equation,
p2 = p1 + ρ(h2 – h1)g
we get
p = pa + ρgh
This means, the pressure at a depth h is greater than the pressure on the surface of the liquid, where Pa is the atmospheric pressure = 1.013 x 105 Pa. If the atmospheric pressure is neglected then
p = ρ gh
For a given liquid, p is fixed and g is also constant, then the pressure due to the fluid column is directly proportional to vertical distance or height of the fluid column.

Question 5.
State and prove Pascal’s law in fluids.
Answer:
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Physics Guide Chapter 7 Properties of Matter 19
Pascal’s law states that if the effect of gravity can be neglected then the pressure in a fluid in equilibrium is the same everywhere. Let us consider any two points A and B inside the fluid imagined. A cylinder is such that points A and B lie at the centre of the circular surface at the top and bottom of the cylinder.

Let the fluid inside this cylinder be in equilibrium under the action of forces from outside the fluid. The forces acting on the circular, top, and bottom surfaces are perpendicular to the forces acting on the cylindrical surface. Therefore the forces acting on the faces at A and B are equal and opposite and hence add to zero.

As the areas of these two faces are equal, the pressure at A = pressure at B. This is the proof of Pascal’s law when the effect of gravity is not taken into account.

Question 6.
State and prove Archimedes principle.
Answer:
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Physics Guide Chapter 7 Properties of Matter 20
Archimedes principle states that when a body is partially or wholly immersed in a fluid, it experiences an upward thrust equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by it, and its upthrust acts through the centre of gravity of the liquid displaced.
Proof:
Consider a body of height h lying inside a liquid of density p, at a depth x below the free surface of the liquid. The area of a cross-section of the body is a. The forces on the sides of the body cancel out.
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Physics Guide Chapter 7 Properties of Matter 21
Pressure at the upper face of the body,
P1 = xρg
Pressure at the lower face of the body,
P2 = (x + h)pρg
Thrust acting on the upper face of the body is
F1 = P1a = xρga
acting vertically downwards.
Thrust acting on the lower face of the body is
F2 = P2a = (x+h)ρga
acting vertically upwards.
The resultant force (F2 – F1) is acting on the body in the upward direction and is called Upthrust (U).
∴ U = F2 – F1 = (x + h)ρg – xρga = ahρg
But, ah = V, the volume of the body = volume of liquid displaced.
U = Vρg = Mg
[∴ M = Vρ = mass of liquid displaced] i.e., upthrust or buoyant force.
= Weight of liquid displaced.
This proves the Archimedes principle.

Question 7.
Derive the expression for the terminal velocity of a sphere moving in a high viscous fluid using stokes force.
Answer:
Let us consider a sphere of radius r which falls freely through a highly viscous liquid of coefficient of viscosity η. Let the density of the material of the sphere be p and the density of the fluid be c.
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Physics Guide Chapter 7 Properties of Matter 22
Gravitational force acting on the sphere,
FG = mg = \(\frac { 4 }{ 3 }\)πr³pg (downward force)
Upthrust, U= \(\frac { 4 }{ 3 }\)πr³σg (upward force)
viscous force F = 6πηrvt
At terminal velocity vt.
downward force = upward force.

Question 8.
Derive Poiseuille’s formula for the volume of a liquid flowing per second through a pipe under streamlined flow.
Answer:
Consider a liquid flowing steadily through a horizontal capillary tube.
Let v = (\(\frac { V }{ t }\)) be the volume of the liquid flowing out per second through a capillary tube.
It depends on
(i) coefficient of viscosity (η) of the liquid
(ii) radius of the tube (r).
(iii) the pressure gradient (yj Then,
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Physics Guide Chapter 7 Properties of Matter 24
So, equating the powers of M, L, and T on both sides, we get
a + c = 0, – a + b – 2c = 3, and – a – 2c = 1 On solving three equations, we get
a = – 1, b = 4, and c = 1
Therefore, equation (1) becomes,
v = kη-1r(\(\frac { p }{ l }\))1
Experimentally, the value of k is shown to be \(\frac { π }{ 8 }\), we have
V = \(\frac{\pi r^{4} \mathrm{P}}{8 \eta l}\)
The above equation is known as Poiseuille’s equation for the flow of liquid through a narrow tube or a capillary tube.

Question 9.
Obtain an expression for the excess of pressure inside a
(i) liquid drop
(ii) liquid bubble
(iii) air bubble.
Answer:
(i) Liquid drop: Let us consider a liquid drop of radius R and the surface tension of the liquid is T.
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Physics Guide Chapter 7 Properties of Matter 26
The various forces acting on the liquid drop are,
(a) Force due to surface tension FT= 2πRT towards the right
(b) Force due to outside pressure, F\(\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{P}_{1}}\) towards right
(c) Force due to inside pressure,
\(\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{P}_{2}}\) = P2 πR² towards left
As the drop is in equilibrium,
\(\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{P}_{2}}\) = FT + \(\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{P}_{1}}\)
P22πR² = 2πRT + P1πR²
⇒ (P2 – P1)πR² = 2πRT
Excess pressure is ∆P = P2 – P1 = \(\frac { 2T }{ R }\)

(ii) Liquid bubble: A soap bubble of radius R and the surface tension of the soap bubble be T is as shown in Figure. A soap bubble has two liquid surfaces in contact with air, one inside the bubble and the other outside the bubble. Hence, the force on the soap bubble due to surface tension is 2 x 2πRT. The various forces acting on the soap bubble are,
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Physics Guide Chapter 7 Properties of Matter 27
(a) Force due to surface tension
FT = 4πRT towards right

(b) Force due to outside pressure,
FP = P1πR² towards right

(c) Force due to inside pressure,
\(\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{P}_{2}}\) = P2πR² towards left
As the bubble is in equilibrium,
\(\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{P}_{2}}\) = FT + \(\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{P}_{1}}\)
P2πR² = 4πRT + P1πR²
⇒ (P2 – P1)πR² = 4πRT
Excess pressure is ∆P = P2 – P1 = \(\frac { 4T }{ R }\)

(iii) Air bubble: Let us consider an air bubble of radius R inside a liquid having surface tension T as shown in Figure. Let P1 and P2 be the pressures outside and inside the air bubble, respectively. Now, the excess pressure inside the air bubble is ∆P = P1 – P2.
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Physics Guide Chapter 7 Properties of Matter 28
In order to find the excess pressure inside the air bubble, let us consider the forces acting on the air bubble. For the hemispherical portion of the bubble, considering the forces acting on it, we get,
(a) The force due to surface tension acting towards right around the rim of length 2πR is FT = 2πRT

(b) The force due to outside pressure P1 is to the right acting across a cross-sectional area of πR² is \(\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{P}_{1}}\) = P1πR²

(c) The force due to pressure P2 inside the bubble, acting to the left is \(\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{P}_{2}}\) = P2πR²
As the air bubble is in equilibrium under the action of these forces, \(\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{P}_{2}}\) = FT + \(\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{P}_{1}}\).

Question 10.
What is capillarity? Obtain an expression for the surface tension of a liquid by the capillary rise method.
Answer:
The rise or fall of a liquid in a narrow tube is called capillarity. Let us consider a capillary tube which is held vertically in a beaker containing water; the water rises in the capillary’ tube to a height h due to surface tension.
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Physics Guide Chapter 7 Properties of Matter 30
The surface tension force FT, acts along the tangent at the point of contact downwards and its reaction force upwards. Surface tension T is resolved into two components.
(i) Horizontal component T sinθ and
(ii) Vertical component T cosθ acting upwards, all along the whole circumference of the meniscus.
Total upward force = (T cosθ) (2πr)
= 2πrT. cosθ
Where θ is the angle of contact, r is the radius of the tube. Let ρ be the density of water and h be the height to which the liquid rises inside the tube. Then,
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Physics Guide Chapter 7 Properties of Matter 31
The upward force supports the weight of the liquid column above the free surface, therefore,
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Physics Guide Chapter 7 Properties of Matter 32
If the capillary is a very fine tube of the radius (i.e., the radius is very small) then \(\frac { r }{ 3 }\) can be neglected when it is compared to the height h. Therefore,
T = \(\frac{r \rho g h}{2 \cos \theta}\)

Question 11.

Let us consider a pipe AB of varying cross-sectional areas a1 and a2 such that a1 > a2. A non – viscous and incompressible liquid flows steadily through the pipe, with velocities v1 and v2 in areas a1 and a2, respectively as shown in Figure.

Let m1 be the mass of fluid flowing through section A in time ∆t, m1 = (a1v1 ∆t)ρ
Let m2 be the mass of fluid flowing through section B in time ∆t, m2 = (a2v2 ∆t)ρ
For an incompressible liquid, mass is conserved m1 = m2
a1v1 ∆tρ = a2v2∆tρ
a1v1 = a2v2 ⇒ av = constant
Which is called the equation of continuity. It is based on the conservation of mass in the flow of fluids. In general, av – constant.

Question 12.

Proof:
Let us consider a flow of liquid through a pipe AB as shown in Figure. Let V be the volume of the liquid when it enters A in a time t which is equal to the volume of the liquid leaving B in the same time. Let aA, vA, and PA. be the area of cross-section of the tube, velocity of the liquid, and pressure exerted by the liquid at A respectively.
Let the force exerted by the liquid at A is
FA = VA
Distance travelled by the liquid in time t is
d = vA t
Therefore, the work done is
W = FAd = PA aA vA t
But aA vA t = aA d = V, the volume of the liquid entering at A.
Thus, the work done is the pressure energy (at A),
W = FA d = PA V
Pressure energy per unit mass at pressure energy
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Physics Guide Chapter 7 Properties of Matter 35
Since m is the mass of the liquid entering at A in a given time, therefore, pressure energy of the liquid at A is
EPA = PAV = PAV x \(\frac { m }{ m }\) = m \(\frac{P_{A}}{\rho}\)
Potential energy of the liquid at A,
PA = mg hA,
Due to the flow of liquid, the kinetic energy of the liquid at A,
KEA = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)mv²A
Therefore, the total energy due to the flow of liquid at A, EA = EPA + KEA + PEA
EA = \(m \frac{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{A}}}{\rho}+\frac{1}{2} m v_{\mathrm{A}}^{2}+m g h_{\mathrm{A}}\)
Similarly, let aB, vB, and PB be the area of a cross section of the tube, the velocity of the liquid, and pressure exerted by the liquid at B. Calculating the total energy at EB, we get
EB = \(m \frac{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{B}}}{\rho}+\frac{1}{2} m v_{\mathrm{B}}^{2}+m g h_{\mathrm{B}}\)
From the law of conservation of energy,

Thus, the above equation can be written as
\(\frac { p }{ ρg }\) + \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)\(\frac{v^{2}}{g}\) + h = constant

Question 13.
Describe the construction and working of venturimeter and obtain an equation for the volume of liquid flowing per second through a wider entry of the tube.
Answer:
Construction: It consists of two wider tubes A and A’ (with cross-sectional area A) connected by a narrow tube B (with the cross-sectional area a). A manometer in the form of a U-tube is also attached between the wide and narrow tubes as shown in Figure. The manometer contains a liquid of density ‘ρm‘.
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Physics Guide Chapter 7 Properties of Matter 37
Theory:
Let P1 be the pressure of the fluid at the wider region of tube A. Let us assume that the fluid of density ‘ρ’ flows from the pipe with speed ‘v1’ and into the narrow region, its speed increases to ‘v1‘.

According to Bernoulli’s equation, this increase in speed is accompanied by a decrease in the fluid pressure P2 at the narrow region of the tube B. Hence, the pressure difference between tubes A and B is noted by measuring the height difference (∆P = P1 – P2) between the surfaces of the manometer liquid.
From the equation of continuity, we can say that Av1 = av2 which means that
v2 = \(\frac { A }{ a }\)v1
Using Bernoulli’s equation,

Question 3.
A spherical soap bubble A of radius 2 cm is formed inside another bubble B of radius 4 cm. Show that the radius of a single soap bubble which maintains the same pressure difference as inside the smaller and outside the larger soap bubble is lesser than the radius of both soap bubbles A and B.
Answer:
Excess of pressure inside the liquid due to surface tension,
∆P = \(\frac { 2T }{ R }\)
Where T – surface tension
In the case of soap bubbles, the excess pressure inside the soap bubble,
∆Pb = \(\frac { 4T }{ R }\)
Excess of pressure of air inside the bigger bubble
∆Pbigger = \(\frac { 4T }{ 4 }\) = T
Excess of pressure of air inside the smaller bubble
∆Psmaller = \(\frac { 4T }{ 2 }\) = 2T
Air pressure different between the smaller bubble and the atmosphere will be equal to the sum of excess pressure inside the bigger and smaller bubbles.
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Physics Guide Chapter 7 Properties of Matter 41
Excess pressure inside a single soap bubble
= \(\frac { 4T }{ R }\) = 4T = T
∴ Pressure different of single soap bubble less than the radius of both T < 3T.

Question 4.
A block of Ag of mass x kg hanging from a string is immersed in a liquid of relative density 0.72. If the relative density of Ag is 10 and tension in the string is 37.12 N then compute the mass of the Ag block.
Answer:
Let the mass of Ag block be x kg,
Tension in the string T = 37.12 N.
Relative density of liquid Rliq = 0.72
Relative density of silver RAg = 10
According to the principle of flotation
Vpg = mg
∴ Vp=m … (1)
Weight of Ag block = mg = Vρg = RAgVg
Weight of Ag block W = 10 Vρg [ ∵ m = Vρ]
Force of buoyancy FB = Rliq (Vρ)g = 0.72 Vρg
Apparent weight Wapp = 10 Vρg – 0.72 Vρg
= 9.78 Vρg
= 9.78 mg
Tension in the string = Apparent weight
37.12= 9.78 mg
Mass m = \(\frac { 37.12 }{ 9.28 }\) = 4 kg

Answer:
Initial pressure P2 = 5 x 105 Nm-2
Final pressure P1 = 4. 5 x 105 Nm-2
Initial velocity V1 = 0
Final velocity v2 = v2

V. Conceptual Questions:

Question 1.
Why coffee runs up into a sugar lump (a small cube of sugar) when one corner of the sugar lump is held in the liquid?
Answer:
Dip the comer of a sugar cube in coffee, and get the whole cube coffee-flavoured due to “capillary action”.

Question 2.
Why two holes are made to empty an oil tin?
Answer:
When oil comes out of one hole with high velocity, the pressure in the tin decreases. To have a continuous flow of oil proper pressure is to be maintained inside the tin. To achieve this, atmospheric air has to be entered inside the tin. For this purpose, only another hole is made out. Hence two holes are made to empty an oil tin.

Question 3.
We can cut vegetables easily with a sharp knife as compared to a blunt knife. Why?
Answer:
The area of a sharp edge is much less than the area of a blunt edge. For the same total force, the effective force per unit area is more for the sharp edge than the blunt edge. Hence, a sharp knife cuts easily than a blunt knife.

Question 4.
Why the passengers are advised to remove the ink from their pens while going up in an aeroplane?
Answer:
While going up in an aeroplane the atmospheric pressure decreases with height. When aeroplane is going up, the ink in the pen tends to ooze out to equalise the pressure. This may spoil the clothes of the passengers. So they are advised to remove ink from the pen.

Question 5.
We use a straw to suck soft drinks, why?
Answer:
When we suck through the straw, the pressure inside the straw becomes less than the atmospheric pressure. Due to the pressure difference, the soft drink rises in the straw and we are able to take the soft drink easily.
