A hydraulic press has area ratio 10:1. A force of 20 N on small piston can lift load of MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A hydraulic press has area ratio 10:1. A force of 20 N on small piston can lift load of
A. 2 N
B. 200 N
C. 2000 N
D. 20 N
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Pascal's law: F₁/A₁ = F₂/A₂ => F₂ = (A₂/A₁) F₁ = 10×20 = 200 N.

The speed of sound in air at 0°C is approximately 332 m/s. At 27°C, it will be approximately:
A. 350 m/s
B. 340 m/s
C. 332 m/s
D. 360 m/s

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Speed of sound in air v ∝ √T, where T is absolute temperature in Kelvin. T₀ = 0°C = 273 K, v₀ = 332 m/s. T = 27°C = 300 K. Thus v = v₀√(T/T₀) = 332 × √(300/273) ≈ 332 × √1.099 ≈ 332 × 1.048 ≈ 348 m/s ≈ 350 m/s. Approximate rule: speed increases by 0.6 m/s per °C rise, so 27×0.6≈16.2, 332+16.2≈348.2 m/s. Memory aid: 'v ∝ √T in Kelvin'. Such temperature-dependence problems test application of sound wave properties, common in competitive exams with emphasis on absolute temperature usage.
