    What should a person on a freely rotating turn table do to decrease his (angular) speed ?
    When a person on a turn table will raise his hands, there will be increase in the momentum of inertia. Hence, the angular velocity of the turntable will decrease.

    Two electric bulbs marked 25W – 220V and 100W – 220V are connected in series to a 440Vsupply. Which of the bulbs will fuse?
    When connected in series, the voltages divide in them in the ratio of their resistances. The voltage of 440 V devides in such a way that voltage across 25 w bulb will be more than 220 V. Hence 25 w bulb will fuse.

    Cover of the solar cooker is made of glass because glass allows the sunlight to pass through it and concentrate at one focal point, it also prevents heat to escape out of the cooker.

    Which of the following is an example for cantilever beam?
    A cantilever is a beam anchored at only one end. The beam carries the load to the support where it is resisted by moment and shear stress. Cantilever construction allows for overhanging structures without external bracing. Cantilevers can also be constructed with trusses or slabs. This is in contrast to a simply supported beam such as those found in a post and lintel system. A simply supported beam is supported at both ends with loads applied between the supports. Cantilevers are widely found in construction, notably in cantilever bridges.

    For which one of the following does the centre of mass lie outside the body?
    The centre of mass lie outside the body for a ring.

    When the Sun is near the horizon during the morning or evening, it appears reddish. The phenomenon that is responsible for this observation is
    The red colour in the sky at sunset (and sunrise) is due to an effect called Rayleigh scattering. There is a similar form of scattering called Mie scattering which is responsible for the white colour of clouds.
