The dimensional formula of coefficient of viscosity is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The dimensional formula of coefficient of viscosity is
A. [M⁰LT⁻¹]
B. [MLT⁻¹]
C. [ML⁻²T]
D. [ML⁻¹T⁻¹]
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Viscosity η = Force/(Area × velocity gradient). Force [MLT⁻²], area [L²], velocity gradient [T⁻¹]. So η = [MLT⁻²]/([L²][T⁻¹]) = [ML⁻¹T⁻¹]. Often asked.

Question #1
If the intensity of a sound is mathematically increased by a factor of 100, its loudness level in decibels (dB) increases strictly by:
A. 2 dB
B. 100 dB
C. 20 dB
D. 10 dB

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The loudness level in decibels is calculated as L = 10 * log10(I / I0). If intensity I becomes 100I, the new level L' = 10 * log10(100I / I0) = 10 * [log10(100) + log10(I / I0)] = 10 * [2 + L/10] = 20 + L. Therefore, the loudness explicitly increases by 20 dB.

Question #2
Which of the following statements is perfectly true regarding uniform circular motion?
A. Both speed and velocity change continuously.
B. Both speed and velocity are constant.
C. Velocity is constant but speed changes.
D. Speed is constant but velocity changes continuously.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
In uniform circular motion, the magnitude of velocity (speed) remains constant. However, the direction of motion is continuously changing tangentially at every point on the circular path. Since velocity is a vector quantity (requiring both magnitude and direction), a change in direction means the velocity is changing continuously, resulting in an accelerated motion.

Question #3
A wire of resistance 10 Ω is stretched to double its length. Its new resistance is
A. 40 Ω
B. 20 Ω
C. 10 Ω
D. 5 Ω

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Resistance R = ρL/A. Volume constant: A ∝ 1/L. Stretching length to 2L reduces area to A/2. New R' = ρ(2L)/(A/2) = 4ρL/A = 4R = 40 Ω. Resistance proportional to (length)² when volume constant.
