A wooden wheel of radius R is made of two semicircular parts (see figure).
The two parts are held together by a ring made of a metal strip of cross-sectional area S and length L. L is slightly less than 2πR. To fit the ring on the wheel, it is heated so that its temperature rises by ΔT and it just steps over the wheel. As it cools down to surrounding temperature, it presses the semi-circular parts together. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is ∝ and its Young's modulus is Y, the force that one part of the wheel applies on the other part is
Intensity of sunlight is observed as 0.092 Wm-2 at a point in free space. What will be the peak value of magnetic field at that point? (ε0 = 8.85 x 10-12C2N-1m-2)
A uniform ring of mass M and radius R is placed directly above uniform sphere of mass 8M and of same radius R. The centre of the ring is at a distance of d = √3R from the centre of sphere. The gravitational attraction between the sphere and the ring is
A boy reaches the airport and finds that the escalator is not working. He walks up the stationary escalator in time t1. If he remains stationary on a moving escalator, then the escalator takes him up in time t2. The time taken by him to walk up on the moving escalator will be:
Two gases A and B have equal pressure P, temperature T, and volume V. The two gases are mixed together and the resulting mixture has the same temperature T and volume V as before. The ratio of pressure exerted by the mixture to either of the two gases is:
A square surface of side L metres is in the plane of the paper. A uniform electric field (volt/m), also in the plane of the paper, is limited only to the lower half of the square surface (see diagram). The electric flux in SI units associated with the surface is
Visible light of wavelength 6,000 × 10-8 cm falls normally on a single slit and produces a diffraction pattern. It is found that the second diffraction minimum is at 60° from the central maximum. If the first minimum is produced at θ1, then is close to
