A man pushes a wall but fails to move it. He does MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A man pushes a wall but fails to move it. He does
A. Zero work
B. Maximum work
C. Positive work
D. Negative work
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Work = force × displacement in direction of force. Displacement zero, so work zero. Physiology work is done internally, but physics work zero.

Question #1
The gravitational potential strictly at the center of a solid, uniform Earth of mass M and radius R is:
A. -3GM / 2R
B. Zero
C. -GM / 2R
D. -GM / R

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The gravitational potential V inside a uniform solid sphere at a distance r from the center is V = -GM * (3R^2 - r^2) / (2R^3). At the exact center of the Earth, r = 0. Substituting r = 0 gives V = -GM(3R^2) / 2R^3 = -3GM / 2R. The potential is strictly non-zero and highly negative.

Question #2
The least count of a vernier calliper is 0.01 cm. A measurement should be recorded as
A. 2.5 cm
B. 2.50 cm
C. 2.500 cm
D. 2.5000 cm

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Least count determines precision: two decimal places. So 2.50 cm. Extra digits indicate false precision.
