Let A be the acceleration at t = 0. Change in
velocity in first 10 second will be 5A + (1/2) 5A
= 15A/2 which is equal to the area under the

velocity, the net change in velocity should be

The normal reaction N (= mg cos T) and the
frictional force fL(= mg cos T) vary as cosine of
the angle of inclination T. The net downward
force is given by [mg sin T mg cos T]. Note
that the downward force is zero up to the angle of
repose, that is, till the frictional force has not
attained its limiting value.
When a solid sphere rolls without slipping
down an inclined plane making an angle T with
the horizontal, the acceleration of its centre of
mass is a. If the same sphere slides without
friction its acceleration ac is
(A) (7/2) a
(B) (5/7) a
(C) (7/5) a
(D) (5/2) a
[C]
The acceleration of the sphere when it slides
without friction is (g sin T). When the sphere rolls
without slipping, the acceleration is (5/7) (g sin T)
and hence the answer.
A 2 kg cylinder rests on a cart as shown in the
figure. The coefficient of static friction
between the cylinder and the cart is 0.5. The
cylinder is 4 cm in diameter and 10 cm in
height. Taking g = 10 m/s2, the minimum
acceleration of the cart needed to make the
cylinder tip over is about

Consider the cart moving to the right with
acceleration a. Then, a pseudo force ma acts on
the cylinder (of mass m) to the left. In the
limiting case, taking the moments about a point
of contact of the cylinder with the cart on the
left, clockwise moment (ma X h/2) =
anticlockwise moment (ma X d/2) where h and d
are the height and diameter of the cylinder
respectively.
Water flows out of the hole on the side of a
bucket and follows a parabolic path. If the
bucket falls freely under gravity, ignoring air
resistance, the water flow (A) follows a straight line path relative the
falling bucket
(B) follows a parabolic path relative the falling
bucket
(C) decreases but continues to flow
(D) stops
[D]
Under a free fall the water head above the hole
does not exert any pressure. Then, the pressures
on the two sides of the hole become equal and
hence the flow stops.
A spring has length l and spring constant k. It
is cut into two pieces of lengths l1 and l2 such
that l1 = nl2. such that l1 = nl2. The force
constant of spring of length l1 is
(A) k (l + n)
(B) k (l + n) / n
(C) k
(D) k/(l + n)
[B]
The length l1 = [n/(n + 1)]l. Noting that the
elongation is proportional to the length, the force
constant becomes [k (n + 1)/n].

Note that the centre of mass of a uniform thick
triangular sheet is at the centroid which divides a
median in a ratio 2 : 1. The required center of
mass must be on the line of symmetry passing
through O and the vertex to the right. Consider
the shape of arrowhead to be obtained by cutting
the triangular part to the left (with base 6 cm and
height 3 cm) from the uncut triangular sheet with
base 6 cm and height 9 cm. The ratio of masses of
these two is 27 : 9, the thickness being uniform.

Note that change in flux in one second is equal to
the emf induced. Use dI = B.dA. Since
B || dA. dI = BdA with dA = l dx. Integrae dI
between 0 and l to obtain the initial flux which
comes out to be (B0l3/2a). In one second the lop
covers a distance of v0, so that the final flux can
be found by integrating dI between v0 and
(v0 + l). This flux comes out to be [(B0v0l2/a) +
(B0l3/2a)] and hence the change in flux per second
can be determined.

Consider the point at which the incident ray
strikes M1 for the first time. let its distance from
the lower end of the mirror be x, so that tan 5 =
(x/1) giving x = 0.087 (approximately). If n is the
number of spacings accommodated in the mirror
length of 1 meter, then nx = 1, giving n = 11.49.
Thus, n is greater than 11 but less than 12. This
gives 6 reflections from M1 but 5 from M2.

Use the lens maker formula :

Let v(t) be the velocity of a particle at time t.
Then,
(A) |dv(t)/dt| and d| v(t)|/dt are always equal
(B) |dv(t)/dt| and d| v(t)|/dt may be equal
(C) d|v(t)|/dt| can be zero while |dv(t)|/dt| is not
zero
(D) d| v(t)|/dt z 0 implies |dv(t)/dt| z 0
[B, C, D]
Note that |dv(t)/dt| is the magnitude of
acceleration, while d|v(t)|/dt is the time rate of
change of speed. These two may not be always
equal, hence (a) is not correct. In fact, the two are
equal when the motion is along a straight line. In
case of uniform circular motion, speed remains
constant but not the velocity. Again if speed is not
constant the velocity cannot be constant.

(A) intensity of light will be the same every
where on the screen
(B) intensity in region AB will be smaller than
what is would be in the absence of the lens
(C) in the region AC and BD, the intensity will
be smaller than what it would be in the
absence of the lens
(D) in the region AC and BD, the intensity will
be greater than what is would be in the
absence of the lens
[B, D]
Note that the intensity of light in the region AB
(when the lens is absent) now gets distributed
over the region CD. In the regions AC and BD
light intensity is due to both the direct beam and
the diverged light from the lens.
A hydrogen atom and a doubly ionized lithium
atom are both in the second excited state. If LH
and LLi respectively represent their electronic
angular momenta and EH and ELi their
energies, then (A) LH > LLi and | EH | > | ELi |
(B) LH = LLi and | EH | < | ELi |
(C) LH = LLi and | EH | > | ELi |
(D) LH < LLi and | EH | < | ELi |
[B]
For both the atoms the second excited state
corresponds to n = 3. Therefore, the angular
momentum for each of them is 3(h/2S). The
energy, however, is proportional to Z2 where Z is
the atomic number and hence numerical value of
energy for hydrogen is less than that for lithium.
Refer to the circuit diagram and the
corresponding graph. The current rises when

Consider the expression for the current rising
exponentially in the LR circuit. The time constant
is (L/R). In this case the curve (1) is rising faster
than curve (2) indicating that (L1/R1) < (L2/R2).
However, in both the cases the maximum current
is the same and equal to (V/R1) or (V/R2).
