Answer:

A book on its side exerts a greater force.

Explanation:

Pressure = Force / Area

Assuming that 1kg = 10N

2kg = 20N

Area of book lying flat = 0.3m × 0.2m

= 0.6m²

Pressure of book lying flat = 20N / 0.6m²

= 30Pa (1 s.f.)

Area of book on its side = 0.2m × 0.05m

= 0.01m²

Pressure of book on its side = 20N / 0.01m²

= 2000Pa (1 s.f.)

Since 2000Pa (1 s.f.) > 30Pa (1 s.f.), a book on its side applies greater pressure than lying flat.

A converging lens has a focal length of 20 cm. An object 1 cm tall is placed 10 cm from the center of the lens. What is the heig

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer: 2 cm

Explanation:

Given , for a converging lens

Focal length : $f=20\ cm$

Height of object : $h=1\ cm$

Object distabce from lens : $u=-10\ cm$

Using lens formula: $\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}$ , we get

$\dfrac{1}{20}=\dfrac{1}{v}+\dfrac{1}{10}$ , where v = image distance from the lens.

On solving aboive equation , we get

$\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{20}-\dfrac{1}{10}=\dfrac{1-2}{20}=\dfrac{-1}{20}\Rightarrow\ v=-20\ cm$

Formula of Magnification : $m=\dfrac{v}{u}=\dfrac{h'}{h}$ , where h' is the height of image.

Put value of u, v and h in it , we get

$\dfrac{-20}{-10}=\dfrac{h'}{1}\\\\\Rightarrow\ h'=2\ cm$

Hence, the height of the image is 2 cm.
