पृथ्वीवरील एका विशिष्ट ठिकाणी चुंबकीय शिखराचा आडवा घटक 0.26 एकक असून तेथील उतार कोन 60° आहे. या ठिकाणी पृथ्वीचे चुंबकीय क्षेत्र किती एकक असेल? In the magnetic meridian of a certain place, the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field is 0.26 units and the angle of dip is 60°. What is the magnetic field of the Earth at this location?
Using relation B = Bh / cos(theta), where Bh = 0.26 and theta = 60 degrees, total magnetic field B = 0.26 / cos(60) = 0.26 / 0.5 = 0.52 units.
उदवाहकाची ओझे वाहून नेण्याची कमाल मर्यादा 1800 किलोग्राम (उदवाहकर + प्रवासी) आहे. हे उदवाहक्र उर्ध्व दिशेने 2 ms⁻¹ या एकसमान चालीने गतिमान आहे. गतिला विरोध करणारे घर्षण बल 4000 N आहे. तर मोटर यंत्राकळून उदवाहकाला किमान किती ताकत पुरवली गेली ते निश्चित करा. (g = 10 m/s²) An elevator carrying a maximum load of 1800 kg (elevator + passengers) is moving up with a constant speed of 2 ms⁻¹. The frictional force opposing the motion is 4000 N. Determine the minimum power delivered by the motor to the elevator. (Take g = 10 m/s²)
At constant speed the motor must balance gravity and friction: F = mg + f = 1800 × 10 + 4000 = 22,000 N. Power = F × v = 22,000 × 2 = 44,000 W. Since 1 hp = 746 W, that is 44,000 / 746 ≈ 59 hp.
ज्याच्या प्रत्येक पृष्ठभागाची वक्रता त्रिज्या 50 सेमी आहे, अशा डबल बहिर्वक्र भिंगाचे नाभीय अंतर किती असेल, जर काचेचा वकीभवन दर्शक 1.50 असेल ? What is the focal length of a double convex lens for which the radius of curvature of each surface is 50 cm and the refractive index of glass is 1.50 ?
Using the lens maker's formula 1/f = (n - 1)(1/R1 - 1/R2), with n = 1.50 and R1 = 50 cm, R2 = -50 cm, the focal length calculates to 50 cm.
लांबीचे नवीन एकक असे निवडले की ज्यानुसार निर्वात पोकळीत प्रकाशाची गती 1 एकक येते. जर सूर्यप्रकाश, सूर्यापासून पृथ्वीपर्यंतचे अंतर 8 मिनिट व 20 सेकंदात कापत असेल, तर लांबीच्या नवीन एककानुसार सूर्य व पृथ्वीमधील अंतर किती ? A new unit of length is chosen such that the speed of light in vacuum is unity. What is the distance between the Sun and the Earth in terms of the new unit, if light takes 8 minutes and 20 seconds to cover this distance ?
Time = 8 min 20 sec = 500 seconds. Since speed of light is 1 unit in the new system, distance = speed × time = 1 × 500 = 500 units.
विशेष वारंवारता असणारा एका ध्वनी तरंगाचा वेग 336 मी./से. असून तरंग लांबी 3 सेमी आहे. तर वारंवारता काढा. ती श्रवणीय असेल का ? A sound wave having certain frequency travels with a speed of 336 m/s and wavelength 3 cm. What will its frequency be ? Will it be audible ?
Using formula v = f * λ, frequency f = v / λ = 336 / 0.03 = 11200 Hz = 11.2 kHz. Since human audible range is 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, 11200 Hz is audible.
जर दोन रोध एकसर जोडणीने जोडले, तर त्यांचा परिणामी रोध 45 Ω होतो आणि जर तेच रोध समांतर जोडणीने जोडले, तर त्यांचा परिणामी रोध 10 Ω होतो. तर त्या रोधांच्या किमती काढा. If two resistors are connected in series, the total resistance is 45 Ω and if the same resistors are connected in parallel, the total resistance becomes 10 Ω. Find the value of the individual resistors.
Using series formula R1 + R2 = 45 and parallel formula (R1 * R2) / (R1 + R2) = 10, solving quadratic equations yields individual resistors of 30 Ω and 15 Ω.
