Given below are two statements: Statement \(I:\) Acceleration due to earth's gravity decreases as you go 'up' or 'down' from earth's surface. Statement \(II:\) Acceleration due to earth's gravity is same at a height ' \(h\) ' and depth ' \(d\) ' from earth's surface, if \(h = d\). In the light of above statements, choose the most appropriate answer form the options given below

Pick an option to check your answer.

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Statement \(I\) is correct but statement \(II\) is incorrect

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(g ^{\prime}=\frac{ g }{\left(1+\frac{ h }{ R }\right)^2}\)

\(g^{\prime} = g 1-\frac {d }{R}\)

Statement \(I\) is correct and Statement \(II\) is incorrect

This question has Statement-I and Statement-2. Of the four ch.oices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statetnents. Statement \(-1\) : A capillary is dipped in a liquid and liquid rises to a height \(h\) in it. As the temperature of the liquid is raised, the height \(h\) increases (if the density of the liquid and the angle of contact remain the same). Statement \(-2\) : Surface tension of a liquid decreases with the rise in its temperature.

Two thin metallic spherical shells of radii \({r}_{1}\) and \({r}_{2}\) \(\left({r}_{1}<{r}_{2}\right)\) are placed with their centres coinciding. A material of thermal conductivity \({K}\) is filled in the space between the shells. The inner shell is maintained at temperature \(\theta_{1}\) and the outer shell at temperature \(\theta_{2}\left(\theta_{1}<\theta_{2}\right)\). The rate at which heat flows radially through the material is :-
