The dimensional formula of surface tension is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The dimensional formula of surface tension is
A. [MT⁻²]
B. [ML⁻¹T⁻²]
C. [ML⁰T⁻²]
D. [MLT⁻²]
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Surface tension = force/length. Force dimensions [MLT⁻²], length [L], so [MLT⁻²]/[L] = [MT⁻²]. Also energy per area gives same dimensions: [ML²T⁻²]/[L²] = [MT⁻²].

Question #1
The frequency of a sound wave is 200 Hz. Its time period is
A. 0.005 s
B. 0.02 s
C. 200 s
D. 0.05 s

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Time period T = 1/f = 1/200 = 0.005 s = 5 ms. Frequency is number of cycles per second. Relationship T = 1/f is fundamental. For 200 Hz, period is 5 milliseconds.

Question #2
A machine gun fires n bullets per second, each of mass m with velocity v. The force on the gun is
A. nmv²
B. nmv
C. ½ nmv
D. nmv/t

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Force = rate of change of momentum = n × (mv) = nmv. This is average force required to hold gun.

Question #3
What happens to the atomic number and mass number of a radioactive nucleus when it emits a gamma ray?
A. Atomic number decreases by 2, mass number decreases by 4.
B. Both atomic number and mass number decrease by 1.
C. Both atomic number and mass number remain completely unchanged.
D. Atomic number increases by 1, mass number remains the same.

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Gamma emission is the release of high-energy electromagnetic radiation (photons) from a nucleus transitioning from an excited high-energy state to a lower, stable energy state. Gamma rays carry no mass and no electrical charge. Therefore, the emission of a gamma ray does not alter the number of protons (atomic number) or the total number of nucleons (mass number) of the atom.
