SECTION D
18. The dimensions of a physical quantity are the powers (or exponents) to which 4
the base quantities are raised to represent that quantity. An equation
obtained by equating a physical quantity with its dimensional formula is
called the dimensional equation of the physical quantity. The dimensions of
base quantities and combination of these dimensions describe the nature of
physical quantities. Dimensional analysis can be used to check the
dimensional consistency of equations, deducing relations among the physical
quantities, etc. A dimensionally consistent equation need not be actually an
exact (correct) equation, but a dimensionally wrong or inconsistent equation
must be wrong. The magnitudes of physical quantities may be added
together or subtracted from one another only if they have the same
dimensions. This is called the principle of homogeneity of dimensions. [A+B]
= [A] = [B]

SECTION E
19. Sooraj, a class 11 student lives in the town of Malappuram in Kerala where 5
village fairs are held on occasions. During one such occasion, he visits the
fair with his little brother Nikhil. There he saw a big crowd at the Well of
Death. He observes that a motorcyclist maintains a constant speed while
riding horizontally along a vertical wall. Sooraj recalls his physics lessons
and starts thinking about the forces acting on the motorcyclist and the bike.

i) What are the forces acting on the motorcyclist and the bike while
they are riding along the vertical wall? How do these forces ensure
that the motorcyclist does not fall?

ii) Help Sooraj arrive at an expression for minimum speed required

by the motorcyclist inside the well of death to prevent him from
falling. Also include a rough diagram.

OR

i) Find the expression for the recoil velocity of a gun.

ii) A person of mass m is standing in a lift. Using suitable diagram, construct
an expression for his apparent weight when the lift is
(a) moving upward with uniform acceleration ‘a’
(b) moving downward with uniform acceleration ‘a’ (a<g) and
(c) falls freely.
