Which of the following is a fundamental unit in the SI system?
A. Joule
B. Candela
C. Pascal
D. Newton

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The seven fundamental SI units are: metre (m), kilogram (kg), second (s), ampere (A), kelvin (K), mole (mol), and candela (cd). Candela is the unit of luminous intensity. Newton, joule, and pascal are derived units. Newton = kg·m/s², joule = kg·m²/s², pascal = kg/(m·s²). Hence, candela is a fundamental unit. Exam tip: Remember the acronym ‘MKS A K M C’ for the seven base units.

Question #2 Report Error
A capillary tube is dipped in water and the water rises to a height 'h'. If the experiment is performed in a freely falling elevator, the water column in the tube will:
A. Rise to height h
B. Rise to height 2h
C. Rise to the full length of the capillary tube
D. Not rise at all

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The height of capillary rise is given by Jurin's law: h = 2Tcos(theta) / (rrhog). In a freely falling elevator, the effective acceleration due to gravity (g') is zero (weightlessness). As effective g approaches zero, the theoretical height h approaches infinity. In reality, the water will rise to the very top of the tube, regardless of its length, but will not overflow.
