Question #1
Gravitational force between two masses varies with distance r as:
A. r²
B. 1/r²
C. 1/r
D. r

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Newton's law: F = Gm₁m₂/r² ⇒ F ∝ 1/r². Inverse square law fundamental to gravitation, electrostatics, and radiation intensity. Memory aid: 'Gravity weakens with square of distance; double distance ⇒ force becomes 1/4'. Core concept frequently tested to verify understanding of fundamental force laws in competitive exams.

Question #2
If the percentage error in measurement of radius of a sphere is 2%, the percentage error in volume is
A. 2%
B. 4%
C. 8%
D. 6%

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Volume V = (4/3)πr³, so ΔV/V = 3 Δr/r. Percentage error in volume = 3 × 2% = 6%.

Question #3
A ray of light travels from glass (μ=1.5) to air. Critical angle is
A. sin⁻¹(1/3)
B. sin⁻¹(1.5)
C. sin⁻¹(2/3)
D. sin⁻¹(1/1.5)

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
sin C = 1/μ = 2/3 ≈ 0.6667, C = sin⁻¹(2/3). So option A: sin⁻¹(2/3). Wait sin C = n2/n1 = 1/1.5 = 2/3. So C = sin⁻¹(2/3). Option A is sin⁻¹(2/3). I'll correct to A.
