Q1. The vector product of two vectors a and b is a vector c such c is perpendicular to the plane containing a and b and the direction is given by is given by
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

If vectors A and B lie in the plane of this page, the vector C will be perpendicular to this plane. 
The sense (upward or downward) of the direction of the vector product is given by the direction of the advance of the tip of a right-handed screw when rotated from A to B through angle  between them, the screw being placed with its axis perpendicular to the plane containing the two vectors. 
 

Q2. The S.I unit of force is
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

In International System of Units (SI) the newton is the unit for force. It is equal to the amount of net force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of 1 m/sec2 in direction of the applied force. It is named after Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics, specifically Newton's second law of motion.


Dyne is a  cgs unit of force. One dyne is equal to 10−5 N


Q3. Digital weighing balance uses
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

A force transducer is also known as a force sensor this converts an input mechanical force into output electrical signal.Hence a force transducer is used in digital weighing balance.

Q4. The addition of vectors and the multiplication of a vector by a scalar together gives rise to
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

If a vector is multiplied by a scalar as in pA ,  then the magnitude of the resulting vector is equal to the product of p and the magnitude of ,   and its direction is the same as A if p is positive and opposite to A if p is negative.

Distributive law for scalar multiplication:


Q5. Electrostatic force is
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Electrostatics means charges at rest,or relatively at rest so this force can be applicable only when charge produce electric field which is constant which is possible only when charges at rest or relatively at rest.

Q6. volume strain is defined
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q7. First Law of Thermodynamics is

The first law of thermodynamics is the application of the conservation of energy principle to heat and thermodynamic processes:

Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q8. Newtonian mechanics could not explain
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

When science progressed into the realm of the microscopic, of dimensions the size of an atom, i.e. less than a nanometer, it was observed that newtonian mechanics and classical electrodynamics were in contradiction with experiments, could not explain them. At the microscopic level, forces don't have a meaning, because nothing touches directly anything else. There are intermediate force carriers of what is perceived as "force" macroscopically.

Q9. spectrum is
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q10. The force acting on a freely falling body in terms of mass m and acceleration due to gravity g is
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

according to newton's second law of motion F = ma here acceleration is due to gravity and is equal to g. So that for a freely falling body F = mg
