1. Mercury thermometers can measure temperatures up to around 360°C because mercury stays in its liquid state up to this temperature. Beyond this, mercury begins to vaporize and cannot be used for measurements above this point. Click for more: https://www.tiwariacademy.com/ncert-solutions/class-11/physRead more

    The amount of sun’s radiant energy received is proportional to the power output of the sun from Stefan-Boltzmann’s Law:
    P ∝ R²T⁴

    1. Preliminary
    P₁ ∝ R²T⁴

    2. After alteration
    – The radius increases to 2R: The area increases proportionally to (2R)² = 4R²
    – Temperature increases to 2T: Power increases proportionally to (2T)⁴ = 16T⁴
    – Total power increases to:
    P₂ ∝ 4R² × 16T⁴ = 64R²T⁴

    3. The ratio of the new power to the old power:
    P₂ / P₁ = (64R²T⁴) / (R²T⁴) = 64

    Thus, the radiant energy received on Earth will increase by a factor of 64.

    In the case of a frictionless inclined table, the work done by the table surface on the ball can be analyzed through the forces acting on the ball.

    Since there is no friction, the only force acting parallel to the surface is gravity. Gravity does not do work against the normal force of the table. The normal force acts perpendicular to the displacement of the ball.

    Work done (W) is given by the formula:

    W = F • d • cos(θ)

    Where:
    – F is the force
    – d is the displacement
    – θ is the angle between the force and displacement

    This implies that the displacement and the force exerted are perpendicular to each other, that is, θ = 90 degrees. This gives cos(90°) = 0. Thus the work done by the table surface on the ball is:

    W = F • d • 0 = 0

    Final Answer:
    The work done by the table surface on the ball is zero.
