A point particle of mass m moves along the uniformly rough track PQR as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction between the particle and the rough track equals μ. The particle is released from rest from the point P and it comes to rest at a point R. The energies lost by the ball over the parts PQ and QR of the track are equal to each other and no energy is lost when particle changes direction from PQ to QR. The values of the coefficient of friction μ and the distance x=QR are respectively close to,

A person trying to lose weight by burning fat lifts a mass of 10 kg upto the height of 1 m, i.e., 1000 times. Assume that the potential energy lost each time he lowers the mass is dissipated. How much fat will he use up considering the work done only when the weight is lifted up? Fat supplies 3.8×107 J of energy per kg which is converted to mechanical energy with a 20% of efficiency rate (take g=9.8 m s-2).

A roller is made by joining together two corners at their vertices O. It is kept on two rails AB and CD which are placed symmetrically (see the figure), with its axis perpendicular to CD and its centre O at the centre of the line joining AB and CD (see the figure). It is given a light path so that it starts rolling with its centre O moving parallel to CD in the direction shown. As it moves, the roller will tend to

An ideal gas undergoes a quasi-static reversible process in which its molar heat capacity C remains constant. If during this process, the relation of pressure p and volume V is given by pVn=constant, then n is given by (here Cp and CV are molar specific heat at constant pressure and constant volume, respectively.)
