A 50 kg person climbs 30 steps each 15 cm high in 10 s. Power (g=10) is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A 50 kg person climbs 30 steps each 15 cm high in 10 s. Power (g=10) is
A. 300 W
B. 225 W
C. 150 W
D. 2250 W
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Height = 30×0.15=4.5 m. Work = 50×10×4.5=2250 J. Power=2250/10=225 W.

Question #1
The pressure at a point in a fluid at rest depends on:
A. Volume of the fluid
B. Depth below the free surface
C. Shape of the container
D. Area of the surface

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Hydrostatic pressure P = P₀ + ρgh, where h is depth below free surface, ρ fluid density, g gravity. Pressure depends only on depth, not container shape, surface area, or total volume (Pascal's paradox). This is a fundamental result in fluid statics. Memory aid: 'Pressure increases linearly with depth'. Competitive exams often test this independence from container geometry to assess deep understanding versus misconceptions. Always recall that pressure is scalar and acts equally in all directions at a point in static fluid.

Question #2
A machine gun fires 60 bullets per minute, each of mass 10 g with velocity 600 m/s. The power developed by the gun is:
A. 3000 W
B. 300 W
C. 1800 W
D. 18000 W

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Power = work done per unit time = kinetic energy imparted per second. KE per bullet = ½mv² = ½×0.01×(600)² = 1800 J. Bullets per second = 60/60 = 1. Thus power = 1800 J/s = 1800 W. Note: Mass conversion: 10 g = 0.01 kg. This problem combines kinetic energy formula with power definition. Exam tip: Always convert to SI units first (grams to kg, minutes to seconds). Such numerical problems test multi-step calculation skills and unit conversion proficiency essential for competitive examinations.
