MODEL EXAMINATION
Part III PHYSICS
Max Score: 60 Scores Time: 2 hrs

General Instruction to candidates: Read the questions carefully before answering. Maximum time allowed is 2 hours 15 minutes including cool-off time. First 15 minutes is cool-off time, during which candidate should neither write the answers nor have discussion with others. All the questions are compulsory and only internal choices are allowed. In the case of questions having internal choice only the sub-questions of the same question should be answered. Calculations, figures and graphs should be shown in the answer sheet itself. 1. Fill in the blanks Pressure ------------------------pascal Kgm2 -------------------------------ML-2 MLT-1 (4 X = 2)
