It is estimated that per minute each $cm^2$ of earth receives about $2\ cal (1\ cal = 4.18\ J)$ of heat energy from the sun. This is called Solar constant. In $SI$ units the value is :-

  • A
    $1060$
  • B
    $178.4$
  • C
    $17.84$
  • D
    $1393.33$

A liquid drop placed on a horizontal plane has a near spherical shape (slightly flattened due to gravity). Let $R$ be the radius of its largest horizontal section. A small disturbance causes the drop to vibrate with frequency $v$ about its equilibrium shape. By dimensional analysis, the ratio $\frac{v}{\sqrt{\sigma / \rho R^3}}$ can be (Here, $\sigma$ is surface tension, $\rho$ is density, $g$ is acceleration due to gravity and $k$ is an arbitrary dimensionless constant)

Turpentine oil is flowing through a tube of length $l$ and radius $r$. The pressure difference between the two ends of the tube is $P .$ The viscosity of oil is given by $\eta=\frac{P\left(r^{2}-x^{2}\right)}{4 v l}$ where $v$ is the velocity of oil at a distance $x$ from the axis of the tube. The dimensions of $\eta$ are

If the time period $(T)$ of vibration of a liquid drop depends on surface tension $(S)$, radius $(r)$ of the drop and density $(\rho )$ of the liquid, then the expression of $T$ is

A length-scale $(l)$ depends on the permittivity $(\varepsilon)$ of a dielectric material.
