1. An object of 3 Kg mass at rest, is given a push at an acceleration of 3 m/s 2


horizontally. Find the force, distance, work done, and power after t=2 sec.
2. Obtain the work and power required to move a 5 kg object up a frictionless
plane inclined at an angle of 300 with the horizontal, for a distance of 2m along
the plane in a time of 3.5s.
3. A mass of 10 kg is raised by means of rope passing around a pulley wheel of
0.5 m diameter. Calculate the work done when the pulley makes 50 revolutions.
4. The force applied on a certain object along x direction varies according to
F=12/x2 Newtons. Then find the work done in the interval 1 ≤ x ≤ 3 m. Also,
what is the force at a distance of 2 m for same amount of work?
5. Two identical charges of 0.1C are placed apart by 1m on a horizontal plane in
free space. Find the force, field intensity and potential.
6. The charge flowing through a certain conducting medium is as shown in the
below figure. Draw the current.

7. A cumulative charge comprising 1020 electrons are flowing through a


conducting medium of 1m length, for 10 sec. Find the electric current, electric
potential difference between the end points of the conducting medium, electric
power and energy. Assume Ɛr = 1.
8. A wind power plant is operating at an efficiency of 70%. If the average wind
speed is 14 m/s and length of the blade is 63m, then find the wind energy
available at the blade and electrical power generated by the wind power plant.
Take air density ρ = 1.23 kg/m3. [Power of wind is given by Pw = 𝜌𝐴𝑉 3 , with A
as area of blade sweep and V is the wind velocity]
9. A thermal power generating plant spends Rs.30 lakhs per annum for coal used
in the station. The coal has a calorific value of 5000 kcal/kg and costs Rs. 300
ton, if the thermal efficiency of the plant is 33% and the electrical efficiency is
90%, then calculate the electric power generated per annum.

10 hours a day is 100 MW. The power generation in the station is done at an
efficiency of 80% with an effective water level in the reservoir as 200 m. Then
what is the volume of water existing in the reservoir?

Next 200kWh per month at 4 Rs/kWh

(b) Compare the average cost per unit for this month and for the month of July, where only
350kWh are consumed as he and his family was on vacation most of the time.
