The gravitational constant G has dimensions MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The gravitational constant G has dimensions
A. [M⁻²L³T⁻²]
B. [M⁻¹L³T⁻¹]
C. [ML²T⁻²]
D. [M⁻¹L³T⁻²]
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
F = G m1 m2 / r² => G = F r² / (m1 m2) => [MLT⁻²][L²]/[M²] = [M⁻¹L³T⁻²].

Question #1 Report Error
A tuning fork of frequency 256 Hz is struck and held near a closed organ pipe. Resonance occurs when pipe length is approx (v=340 m/s)
A. 17 cm
B. 50 cm
C. 33 cm
D. 66 cm

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
For closed pipe fundamental: L = v/(4f) = 340/(4×256) ≈ 340/1024 ≈ 0.332 m = 33 cm.

The electric field due to an infinite plane sheet of charge with surface charge density σ is:
A. Zero
B. σ/(2ε₀)
C. 2σ/ε₀
D. σ/ε₀

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Using Gauss's law, for an infinite sheet, electric field E = σ/(2ε₀), directed perpendicular to the sheet. This is uniform and independent of distance from the sheet. Option A is for field near conductor surface; C and D are incorrect. Memory aid: 'Infinite sheet: E = σ/(2ε₀); conductor surface: E = σ/ε₀'. This conceptual question tests electrostatics fundamentals, crucial for competitive exams. Always distinguish between conducting and non-conacting sheets, as field expressions differ due to charge distribution.
