IITJEE Study Material:Elasticity
-Bodies which can recover their original condition on removal of deforming forces are perfectly elastic bodies .
-Bodies which does not have tendency to recover their original condition on removal of deforming forces are called plastic bodies.
-There are no perfectly elastic or plastic bodies and actual bodies lie between two extremes.
(1) STRESS
-Stress is the restoring force per unit area set up inside the body and is measured by the magnitude of deforming force acting on unit area of the body within the elastic limits of the body.
Magnitude of stress=F/A where, Fis the force applied and A is the area of crosssection of the body.
-S.I. unit of sterss is N/m2.-Dimensional formula of stress is[ML1T-2].
(A) Normal Stress:- If elastic forces developed are perpandicular to the area of cross-section of the body then the stress developed is known as normal stress.
(B) Tangential Stress:- Tangential or shearing stress developes in a body when elastic restoring forces are parallel to the cross-sectional area of the body and the body gets sheared through a certain angle.
(2) STRAIN
-When a body is under a system of forces or couples in equilibrium then a change is produced in dimensions of the body and this fractional change produced in the body is called Strain.
(A) longitudinal strain=Δl/l, where l is the original length and Δl is the change in length.
(B) volume strain=ΔV/V, where V is the original volume and ΔV is the change in volume.
(C) if the deforming forces produces change in shape of the body then the strain is called shearing strain.
-Strain is an dimensionless quantity.
(3)HOOK'S LAW
-Hook's law states that 'For small deformations, within elastic limits, stress is directly proportional to strain'.
Thus, stress ∝ strain
or, stress/strain=constant-This constant is known as modulus of elasticity of given material.
(4)MODULUS OF ELASTICITY
(A) Young's modulus of elasticity:-
-Young's modulus of elasticity is given by
Y=longitudinal Stress/longitudinal Stress
= (F/A)/(Δl/l)
=Fl/AΔl
-It has dimensions of pressure.
(B) Bulk modulus of elasticity:-
-Bulk modulus of elasticity is the ratio of normal stress to volume strain within elastic limits.
-It is denoted by k and
K=FV/AΔV
(C) Modulus of rigidity:-
-When a body is sheared , the ratio of tangential stress to the shearing strain within elastic limits is called modulus of rigidity.

Physics for IITJEE:Optics Short Notes-1
Reflection of light
-When light travelling in one medium is incident on a second medium some part of it is sent back to the first medium according to some definite laws and is said to be reflected.
-In practice mirrors are used to reflect light.
-The angle which the incident ray and the reflected ray make with normal to the surface are termed as Angles of incidence and of reflection respectively.
Laws of reflection:-
Law 1- The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal to the surface , all lie in the same plane.
Law 2- The angle of incidence i is equal to the angle of reflection r.
Spherical Mirrors :-
Assuming that all the reflecting surfaces are portions of a sphere, if the inside surface reflects, the mirror is concave and if the outside surface which reflects, it is convex as shown below in the figure.
-Relation between focal length f and radius of curvature R of the mirror is
f=R/2
and both f and R are taken as positive for concave mirror and negative for convex mirror.
-Mirror formula is the relation between distance of the object (u), distance of the image (v) and the focal length (f) of the mirror and is,
(1/u)+(1/v)=(1/f)
-Mirror formula holds for a spherical mirror of small aperture only.
-The ratio of size of the image formed (by spherical mirror) to the size of the object is called magnification. Mathematically,
m=I/O
=-v/u
-Spherical abberation is the inability of a spherical mirror of large aperture to bring all the rays of wide beam of light falling
on it to focus at a single point.

More information will be given in subsequent post

IITJEE PHYSICS:Current Electricity Part -I
Some basic point about Electricty
-A current flows along a metal or wire when battery is connected to it.
-Current in a wire is due to free electrons moving along the wire
-The Battery has a Potential difference between its poles due to chemical changes inside the battery.The Potential difference pushes the electrons alongs the metal.The Potential diffrence between the terminal is call the EMF of the battery.
-One pole of the battery is called positive pole and another one is call the negative pole.
-Current direction is opposite to the electron flow direction.
-EMF is measured in Volt
Electric current is defined as the rate at which charge flows inside the conductor
so
I=Q/t
- Its unit is Amphere
Also I=dQ/dt
Drift speed of electrons inside the conductor
vd=I/neA
Where I is the current,n is the number of the electron per unit volume ,e is the electronic charge and A is the area of the crossection of the conductor
Ohms Law
V=IR
where V is the Potential difference accross its ends
I is the current flow
And R is the electrical Resistance of the conductor.Electrical Resistance unit is Ohm
ELectrical Resistivity
It is defined as
ρ=RA/L
Where R is the Resistance
A is the crossectional Area
L is the length
Series Resistors
R=R1+R2+R3
Parallel Resistors
(1/R)=(1/R1)+(1/R2)+(1/R2)
Terminal Voltage of the Cell
V=E-Ir
where E is the EMF of the cell and r is the internal resistance of the Cell

IIT PHYSICS:Rotational Short notes -I
-When a rigid body rotates about a fixed axis, the angular displacement is the angle Δθ swept out by a line passing through any point on the body and intersecting the axis of rotation perpendicularly
-Can be positive (counterclockwise) or negative (clockwise).
-Analogous to a component of the displacement vector.
-SI unit: radian (rad). Other
units: degree, revolution.
Angular Velocity
Average angular velocity, is defined by
$ = (angular displacement)/(elapsed time) = Δθ/Δt .
Instantanous Angular Velocity ω=dθ/dt
Some points
-Angular velocity can be positive or negative.
-It is a vector quantity and direction is perpendicular to the plane of rotation
-Angular velcity of a particle is diffrent about diffrent points
-Angular velocity of all the particles of a rigid body is same about a point
Angular Acceleration:
Average angular acceleration, is defined by
= (change in angular velocity)/(elapsed time) = Δω/Δt
Instantanous Angular Acceleration
α=dω/dt
Kinematics of rotational Motion
ω=ω0 + αt
θ=ω0t+1/2αt2
ω.ω=ω0.ω0 + 2 α.θ;
Also
α=dω/dt=ωdω/dθ
Vector Nature of Angular Variables
-The direction of an angular variable vector is along the axis.
- positive direction defined by the right hand rule.
- Usually we will stay with a fixed axis and thus can work in the scalar form.
-angular displacement cannot be added like vectors
-angular velocity and acceleration are vectors
Relation Between Linear and angular variables
v=ωXr
Where r is vector joining the location of the particle and point about which angular velocity is being computed
a=αXr
Moment of Inertia
Rotational Inertia (Moment of Inertia) about a Fixed Axis
For a group of particles,
I = ∑mr2
For a continuous body,
I = ∫r2dm
For a body of uniform density
I = ρ∫r2dV
Parallel Axis Therom
Ixx=Icc+ Md2
Where Icc is the moment of inertia about the center of mass
Perpendicular Axis Therom
Ixx+Iyy=Izz

Problem Solving tips for IITJEE Mechanics
You will come across vectors in physics problem very frequently.So it is must to know to solve the vector mathematics in short time.And Making sure you have done in correctly.You will find vectors in every module be it mechanics ,electrostatics,magentics
Addition or Substraction
When you need to add or substract two or more vectors, you can use following procedure
1. Select a coordinate system that is convenient. (Try to reduce the number of
components you need to find by choosing axes that line up with as many
vectors as possible.)
2. Draw a labeled sketch of the vectors described in the problem.
3. Find the x and y components of all vectors
4. Compute the resultants in x and y direction
5. If necessary, use the Pythagorean theorem to find the magnitude of the resultant vector and select a suitable trigonometric function to find the angle
that the resultant vector makes with the x axis.
Products
When u need to perform scalar or vector product.It is nice to following procedure
1. Select a coordinate system(x,y,z) that is convenient. (Try to reduce the number of
components you need to find by choosing axes that line up with as many
vectors as possible.).Use i,j,k as the unit vector across x,y,z axis.
2. Draw a labeled sketch of the vectors described in the problem.
3. Express all the vector in form in i,j,k forms
4. Perform the multipication
Motion in a Two dimensional Plane
- Select a coordinate system and resolve the initial velocity vector into x and y
components.
-Find out acceleration in each direction and solve in each direction according to one rectilinear motion equation.
-if the acceleration is in vertical direction only.Follow the techniques for solving constant-velocity problems to analyze the horizontal motion. Follow the techniques for solving constant-acceleration problems to analyze the vertical motion. The x and y motions share the same time of flight t.
- There might be question about trajortory in the Problem ,find out the motion in x and y direction with respect to time from previous point.And then find the value of t from one equation and then put that value in another equation to find out the equation of trajactory
Motion in a Three dimensional Plane
- Select a coordinate system and resolve the initial velocity vector into x , y and z components
-Find out acceleration in each direction and solve in each direction according to one rectilinear motion equation.
Uniform Circular Motion
-Draw a simple, neat diagram of the system.
-Firstly consider the origin of the forces acting on the each object.To do this find out the field forces acting on the each object.Wherever contact in available account the contact force carefully
-Find out the force acting on the body.The resultant force should provide the required centrepatal required for Circular motion
-Centrepatal force=mv2/R will give the velotiy accordingly.
Newtons Law Problem
-Draw a neat diagram of the system.
-Firstly consider the origin of the forces acting on the each object.To do this find out the field forces acting on the each object.Wherever contact in available account the contact force carefully
-Isolate the body whose motion is to be analyzed. Draw a free-body diagram for this body. For systems containing more than one objects, draw separate free-body diagrams for each objects This way there will not any confusion about the force acting on each object.Newtons Third law will help in obtaining the action reaction pair. Do not include in the free-body diagram forces exerted by the object on its surroundings. Establish convenient coordinate axes for each objects and find the components of the forces along these axes.
- Use pseudo force if viewing from the non intertial frame of refrence
-Apply Newton's second law, F= ma, in component form.
-Solve the component equations for the unknowns. Remember that you must have as many independent equations as you have unknowns to obtain acomplete solution.
-Make sure your results are consistent with the free-body diagram.
- If the object are attached to each others by the strings,then make use of constraints theory to find out the acceleration equation between the objects
Work And Energy
- Choose your frame of refrence.KE will differ in each refrence frame while PE will remains constant
-Define your system, which may include two or more interacting particles, as well as springs or other systems in which elastic potential energy can bestored. Choose the initial and final points.
-Identify zero points for potential energy (both gravitational and spring). If there is more than one conservative force, write an expression for the potential energy associated with each force.
-Determine whether any nonconservative forces are present. Remember that if friction or air resistance is present, mechanical energy is not conserved.
-Determine whether any external forces are present. Remember that external forces are present, mechanical energy is not conserved.
-If mechanical energy is conserved, you can write the total initial energy at some point Ei=PEi+KEi. Then, write an expression for the total final energy at the final point that is of interest Ef=PEf+KEf. Because mechanical
energy is conserved, you can equate the two total energies and solve for the quantity that is unknown.
-If frictional forces are present (and thus mechanical energy is not conserved), first write expressions for the total initial and total final energies. In this case, the difference between the total final mechanical energy and the total initial mechanical energy equals the change in mechanical energy in the system
due to friction.
-If external forces are present (and thus mechanical energy is not conserved), first write expressions for the total initial and total final energies. In this case, the difference between the total final mechanical energy and the total initial mechanical energy equals the change in mechanical energy in the system
due to external force.
-If both external forces and frictional forces are present (and thus mechanical energy is not conserved), first write expressions for the total initial and total final energies. In this case, the difference between the total final mechanical energy and the total initial mechanical energy equals the change in mechanical energy in the system due to external force and friction
Momentum and Collisions
- Choose your frame of refrence
-Set up a coordinate system and define your velocities with respect to that system.It is usually convenient to have the x axis coincide with one of the initial velocities.
-In your sketch of the coordinate system, draw and label all velocity vectors and include all the given information.
-Write expressions for the x and y components of the momentum of each object before and after the collision. Remember to include the appropriate signs for the components of the velocity vectors.
-Write expressions for the total momentum in the x direction before and after
the collision and equate the two. Repeat this procedure for the total momentum
in the y direction. These steps follow from the fact that, because the momentum of the system is conserved in any collision(law on conservation of linear momentum), the total momentum along any direction must also be constant. Remember, it is the momentum of the system that is constant, not the momentan of the individual objects.
-If the collision is inelastic, kinetic energy is not conserved, and additional information is probably required. If the collision is perfectly inelastic, the final velocities of the two objects are equal. Solve the momentum equations for the unknown quantities.
-If the collision is elastic, kinetic energy is conserved, and you can equate the
total kinetic energy before the collision to the total kinetic energy after the
collision to get an additional relationship between the velocities.And you can solve the energy and momentum equation to find out the find velocities.
- Centre of mass can be useful feature in solving the momentum problems
Body in Static equilibrium
-Draw a neat diagram of the system.
-Firstly consider the origin of the forces acting on the each object.To do this find out the field forces acting on the each object.Wherever contact in available account the contact force carefully
-Isolate the object being analyzed. Draw a free-body diagram and then show
and label all external forces acting on the object, indicating where those forces are applied.This way there will not any confusion about the force acting on each object.Newtons Third law will help in obtaining the action reaction pair. Do not include forces exerted by the object on its surroundings.(For systems that contain more than one object, draw a separate free-body diagram for each one.) Try to guess the correct direction for each force. If the direction you select leads to a negative force, do not be alarmed; this merely means that the direction of the force is the opposite of what you guessed.
-Establish a convenient coordinate system for the object and find the components of the forces along the two axes. Then apply the first condition for equilibrium. Remember to keep track of the signs of all force components.
-Choose a convenient axis for calculating the net torque on the object. Remember that the choice of origin for the torque equation is arbitrary; therefore, choose an origin that simplifies your calculation as much as possible.
Note that a force that acts along a line passing through the point chosen as
the origin gives zero contribution to the torque and thus can be ignored.
