Consider a vertical tube open at both ends. The tube consists of two parts, each of different cross-sections and each part having a piston which can move smoothly in respective tubes. The two pistons are joined together by an inextensible wire. The combined mass of the two pistons is 5 kg and area of cross-section of the upper piston is 10 cm2 greater than that of the lower piston. The amount of gas enclosed by the pistons is one mole. When the gas is heated slowly, the pistons moves by 50 cm as shown in figure. The rise in temperature of the gas is in the form XR K, where R is universal gas constant. Use, g=10 m s-2 and outside pressure=105 N m-2. Fill value of X.

A wire, which passes through the hole is a small bead, is bent in the form of a quarter of a circle. The wire is fixed vertically on the ground as shown in the figure. The bead is released from near the top of the wire, and it slides along the wire without friction. As the bead moves from A to B, the force it applies on the wire is

A tennis ball is dropped on a horizontal smooth surface. It bounces back to its original position after hitting the surface. The force on the ball during the collision is proportional to the length of compression of the ball. Which one of the following sketches describes the variation of its kinetic energy K with time t most appropriately? The figures are only illustrative and not to the scale.

STATEMENT-1-: 

A block of mass m starts moving on a rough horizontal surface with a velocity v. It stops due to friction between the block and the surface after moving through a certain distance. The surface is now tilted to an angle of 30ºwith the horizontal and the same block is made to go up on the surface with the same initial velocity v. The decrease in the mechanical energy in the second situation is smaller than that in the first situation.
Because

STATEMENT-2

The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface decreases with the increase in the angle of inclination.

A block B is attached to two unstretched springs S1 and S2 with spring constants k and 4k, respectively, (see figure I). The other ends are attached to identical supports M1 and M2 not attached to the walls. The springs and supports have negligible mass. There is no friction anywhere. The block B is displaced towards the wall 1 by a small distance x (figure II) and released. The block returns and moves a maximum distance y towards the wall 2. Displacements x and y are measured with respect to the equilibrium position of the block B. The ratio y/x is
