Solution
One quarter sector is cut from a uniform circular disc of radius R. This sector has mass M. It is made to rotate about a line perpendicular to its plane and passing through the centre of the original disc. Its moment of inertia about the axis of rotation is
-
Solution
For complete disc with mass '4M', M.I. about given axis = (4M)(R2/2) = 2 MR2
Hence, by symmetry, for the given quarter of the disc
M.I. = 2 MR2/4 = 1⁄2 MR2
A and B are two metals with threshold frequencies 1.8 × 1014Hz and 2.2 × 1014Hz.Two identical photons of energy 0.825 eV each are incident on them. Then photoelectrons are emitted in (Take h = 6.6 × 10–34Js)

Solution
Forward thrust, F=\(\frac{p}{v}=\frac{100\times 746}{20}=3730\: N.\)
A uniform wire of length 20 m and weighing 5 kg hangs vertically.If g = 10 m/s2, then the speed of transverse waves in the middle of the wire is

Solution
Two similar coils of radius Rare lying concentrically with their planes at right angles to each other. The currents flowing in them are I and 2 I, respectively. The resultant magnetic field induction at the centre will be

Solution
A particle moves along a circle of radius \(\left ( \frac{20}{\pi } \right )\)m with constant tangential acceleration. It the velocity of particle is 80 m/sec at end of second revolution after motion has begun, the tangential acceleration is
-
Solution
Circumference of circle is 2πr = 40m
Total distance travelled in two revolution is 80m. Initial velocity u =0, final veloctiy v = 80 m/sec
so from
v2=u2 + 2as
⇒ (80)2 = 02 + 2 × 80 × a
⇒ a = 40m/sec2

DIRECTIONS: These are Assertion-Reason type questions. Each of these question contains two statements:Statement-1 (Assertion) and Statement-2 (Reason). Answer these questions from the following four options.
Statement-1 Stress is the internal force per unit area of a body.
Statement-2 Rubber is less elastic than steel.
-
Solution
(b)Statement-1 is True, Statement -2 is True; Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement - 1
Stress is defined as internal force (restoring force) perunit area of a body. Also, rubber is less elastic than steel, because restoring force is less for rubber than steel.
Two forces are such that the sum of their magnitudes is 18 N and their resultant is 12 N which is perpendicular to the smaller force. Then the magnitudes of the forces are

Solution
A coin placed on a gramophone record rotating at 33 rpm flies off the record, if it is placed at a distance of more than 16cm from the axis of rotation. If the record is revolving at 66 rpm, the coin will fly off if it is placed at a distance not less than

Solution
Two tones of frequencies n1 and n2 are sounded together.The beats can be heard distinctly when
-
Solution
As number of beats/sec = diff. in frequencies has to be less than 10, therefore 0 <(n1–n2) < 10
