Compared with others, the planets Earth and Venus have nearly same size and density. But
strength of the magnetic field of Venus is negligibly small compared to that of the Earth. This is
due to
(a) larger orbital speed of Venus

(c) absence of metallic rocks inside Venus
(d) very slow rotation of Venus

A stone tied to string is whirled in a horizontal plane in a circular path at a rate 5rev s -1. If the
same stone is whirled with same force by a string of half its length, the number of revolution for

Consider a small balloon filled with an ideal gas which is submerged in water. Assuming that the
temperature is the same everywhere in the water, the buoyant force on the balloon when it is at a
depth d below surface, in terms of its volume at the surface V0, the atmospheric pressure P0, the
density of water p0, and the acceleration due to gravity g.
