A steel wire can withstand a load up to $2940 \text{ N}$. A load of $150 \text{ kg}$ is suspended from a rigid support. The maximum angle through which the wire can be displaced from the mean position, so that the wire does not break when the load passes through the position of equilibrium, is (2008 E)
The maximum elongation of a steel wire of $1 \text{ m}$ length if the elastic limit of steel and its Young's modulus, respectively, are $8 \times 10^8 \text{ N m}^{-2}$ and $2 \times 10^{11} \text{ N m}^{-2}$, is:
A body initially at rest and sliding along a frictionless track from a height $h$ just completes a vertical circle of diameter $AB = D$. The height $h$ is equal to:
A source of unknown frequency gives $4 \text{ beats/s}$ when sounded with a source of known frequency $250 \text{ Hz}$. The second harmonic of the source of unknown frequency gives five beats per second when sounded with a source of frequency $513 \text{ Hz}$. The unknown frequency is
The Young's modulus of steel is twice that of brass. Two wires of the same length and of the same area of cross-section, one of steel and another of brass are suspended from the same roof. If we want the lower ends of the wires to be at the same level, then the weight added to the steel and brass wires must be in the ratio of:
The circuit represents a full wave bridge rectifier when switch $S$ is open. The output voltage ($V_0$) pattern across $R_L$ when $S$ is closed:
A mass $m$ is attached to a thin wire and whirled in a vertical circle. The wire is most likely to break when:
When a string is divided into three segments of lengths $l_1, l_2$ and $l_3$, the fundamental frequencies of these three segments are $\nu_1, \nu_2$ and $\nu_3$ respectively. The original fundamental frequency ($\nu$) of the string is:
A particle is moving such that its position coordinates $(x, y)$ are $(2\text{ m}, 3\text{ m})$ at time $t = 0$, $(6\text{ m}, 7\text{ m})$ at time $t = 2\text{ s}$ and $(13\text{ m}, 14\text{ m})$ at time $t = 5\text{ s}$. Average velocity vector ($\mathbf{v}_{av}$) from $t = 0$ to $t = 5\text{ s}$ is:
A particle of mass $10 \text{ g}$ moves along a circle of radius $6.4 \text{ cm}$ with a constant tangential acceleration.

A projectile is fired from the surface of the earth with a velocity of $5 \text{ m/s}$ and angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. Another projectile fired from another planet with a velocity of $3 \text{ m/s}$ at the same angle follows a trajectory, which is identical to the trajectory of the projectile fired from the earth.
