Question #1
The SI unit of temperature is
A. Celsius
B. Reaumur
C. Fahrenheit
D. Kelvin

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
SI base unit of thermodynamic temperature is kelvin (K). Celsius is derived unit, size 1°C = 1 K. Fahrenheit and Reaumur are other scales. Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero.

Question #2
The specific heat capacity of a substance is defined as the amount of heat required to:
A. Raise the temperature of 1 kg of the substance by 1°C
B. Vaporize 1 kg of the substance at its boiling point
C. Melt 1 kg of the substance at its melting point
D. Raise the temperature of 1 g of the substance by 1°C

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Specific heat capacity c is defined as heat required to raise temperature of unit mass (1 kg in SI) by 1°C (or 1 K). Formula: Q = mcΔT. Option D describes specific heat in cgs units (cal/g°C), but SI definition uses kg. Options A and C describe latent heats. Memory aid: 'Specific heat = per kg per degree'. This precise definition is crucial for calorimetry problems. Competitive exams often test unit awareness (kg vs g) to distinguish careful students. Always note the mass unit in the definition context.

Question #3
The pressure at a point in a fluid at rest depends on:
A. Area of the surface
B. Shape of the container
C. Depth below the free surface
D. Volume of the fluid

Correct Answer: Option C


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.
