a) Mass of the ball m = 44g
Volume of water displaced = 40cm3
Density of the ball when it is completely submerged = \(\frac {mass}{volume}\)
= \(\frac {44}{40}\) = 1.1 g/cm2
Density = 1.1 g/cm3.
b) The density of tin is higher than that of water, so the sheet of tin sinks in water But when the same sheet of tin is converted into boat or box, a lot of air is trapped in the boat or box. Then the average density of boat or box, made of tin sheet, becomes lower than that of water, therefore it floats in water.

(i) It is the largest digestive gland of the body which is reddish brown in colour.
(ii) It is divided into two main lobes, right and left lobes. The right lobe is larger than the left lobe.
(iii) On the under surface of the liver, gall bladder is present. The liver cells secrete bile which is temporarily stored in the gall bladder.
(iv) Bile is released into small intestine when food enters in it. It has bile salts (sodium glycolate and sodium tauraglycolate) and bile pigments (bilirubin and biliviridin).
(v) Bile salts help in the digestion of fats by bringing about their emulsification (conversion of large fat droplets into small ones).

(i) The table is based on a more fundamental property i.e., atomic number.
(ii) It correlates the position of the element with its electronic configuration more clearly.
(iii) The completion of each period is more logical. In a period, as the atomic number increases, the energy shells are gradually filled up until an inert gas configuration is reached.
(iv) It is easy to remember and reproduce.
(v) Each group is an independent group and the idea of subgroups has been discarded.
(vi) One position for all isotopes of an element is justified, since the isotopes have the same atomic number.
(vii) The position of the eighth group (in Mendeleev's table) is also justified in this table. All transition elements have been brought in the middle as the properties of transition elements are intermediate between left portion and right portion elements of the periodic table.
(viii) The table completely separates metals from nonmetals. The nonmetals are present in upper right corners of the periodic table.
(ix) The positions of certain elements which were earlier misfit (interchanged) in the Mendeleev's periodic table are now justified because it is based on atomic number of the elements.
(x) Justification has been offered for placing lanthanides and actinides at the bottom of the periodic table.

(i) An alternating current (AC) generator, consists of a rotating rectangular coil ABCD called armature placed between the two poles of a permanent magnet.
(ii) The two ends of this coil are connected to the two slip rings S1 and S2. The inner sides of these rings are insulated.
(iii) Two conducting stationary brushes B1 and B2 are kept separately on the rings S1 and S2 respectively. The two rings S1 and S2 are internally attached to an axle.
(iv) The axle may be mechanically rotated from outside to rotate the coil inside the magnetic field. Outer ends of the two brushes are connected to the external circuit

(v) When the coil is rotated, the magnetic flux linked with the coil changes. This change in magnetic flux will lead to generation of induced current.
(vi) The direction of the induced current, as given by Fleming's Right Hand Rule, is along ABCD in the coil and in the outer circuit it flows from B2 to B1.
(vii) During the second half of rotation, the direction of current is along DCBA in the coil and in the outer circuit it flows from B1 to B2
(viii) As the rotation of the coil continues, the induced current in the external circuit is changing its direction for every half a rotation of the coil

(i) Sieve elements
(ii) Companion cells.
(iii) Phloem fibres
(iv) Phloem parenchyma
(i) Sieve elements

1. The conducting elements of phloem are collectively called as Sieve elements.
2. They may be segregated into less specialised SIeve cells and more specialised sieve tube elements.
3. Sieve tubes are elongated, tube-like slender cells placed end to end. The transverse walls at the ends are perforated and are known as sieve plates.
4. The main function of sieve tubes is translocation of food, from leaves to the storage organs of the plants.
ii.Companion cells
These are elongated cells attached to the lateral wall of the sieve tubes. A companion cell may be equal in length to the accompanying sieve tube element or the mother cell may tissue be divided transversely forming a series of companion cells
iii.Phloem parenchyma
The phloem parenchyma are living cells which have cytoplasm and nucleus. Their function is to store food materials.
iv.Phloem
fibers Sclerenchymatous cells associated with primary and secondary phloem are commonly called phloem fibers. These cells are elongated, lignified and provide mechanical strength to the plant body.

Weight of Lead oxide (A) = 100.00g
Weight of Oxygen = 7.143g
Weight of Lead (A) = 92.857 g
Weight of Lead Oxide (B) = 100.000 g
Weight of Oxygen = 10.345 g
Weight of Lead (B) = 89.655 g
Weight of Lead Oxide (C) = 100.000 g
Weight of Oxygen = 13.133 g
Weight of Lead (C) = 86.867 g
Pb(A) : 0 Pb(B) : 0 Pb(C) = 0
92.857: 7.143 89.66 : 10.34 86.867 : 13.133
92.857 g of lead (A) requires = 7.143 g of oxygen
100 g of lead requires = \(100\times7.143\over 89.66\)
= 7.6924 g
89.66 g of lead (B) requires = 10.34 g of oxygen
100 g of lead requires = \(100\times10.34\over 89.66\)
= 13.133 g
86.867 g of lead (C) requires = 13.133 g of oxygen
100 g of lead requires = \({100\times13.133\over 86.867}=15.345g\)
Ratio between the three
7.6924 : 13.133 : 15.345
7.6924 : 13.133 :13.133
_______ _______ _____
1 : 1.499 : 1.99
1 : 1.5 : 2
2 : 3 : 4
The fixed weight of lead combines with oxygen in the ratio of 2 : 3 : 4
So this obeyed the law of multiple proportions.

(i) The first step in using the Vernier caliper is to find out its least count, range and zero error.
(ii) \(Least\ count\ of\ the\ instrument(LC)=\frac{Value\ of\ one\ smallest\ main\ scale\ division}{Total\ number\ of\ vernier\ scale\ division}\)
The main scale division can easily be obtained by inspecting the main scale. It will be in centimeter, further divided into millimetre. The value of the smallest, main scale division is 1 mm. The Vernier scale division is obtained by counting number of division in it. In the Vernier scale there will be 10 divisions.
\(LC=\frac{1mm}{10}=0.1\ mm\)
(iii) Unscrew the slider and move it to the left, such that both the jaws touch each other.
(iv) If they are not coinciding with each other, the instrument is said to posses zero error. Zero error may be positive or negative. If the zero mark of the Vernier is shifted to the right, it is called negative error. On the other hand, if the Vernier zero is shifted to the left of the main scale zero marking, then the error is positive.
(v) Once you are able to calculate the zero error, you can get the correct reading using the formula:
The correct reading = Main scale reading + (VC x LC) - (Zero correction)
(vi) We can use Vernier caliper to find different dimensions of any familiar object.

No, its terminals are not constant because it is the source of direct current. The dc is due to the unidirectional flow of electric charges. In electrical circuits electrons move from lower to higher electrical potential. So battery is used to maintain a potential difference between the two ends.
