An example of edible underground stem is:
EASY
The oscillation of a body on a smooth horizontal surface is represented by the equation, X=Acosωt, where X= displacement at time tω=  frequency of oscillation, a= acceleration at time t and T= time period.
Which one of the following graph shows correctly the variation a with t ?
EASY
The weight suspended from a spring oscillates up and down. The acceleration of weight will be zero at
MEDIUM
A person throws two fair dice. He wins Rs. 15 for throwing a doublet (same numbers on the two dice), wins Rs 12 when the throw results in the sum of 9 , and loses Rs. 6 for any other outcome on the throw. Then the expected gain/loss (in Rs.) of the person is:
EASY
When a particle executes SHM, the nature of graphical representation of velocity as a function of displacement is:
EASY
A particle of mass m is moving along the x-axis under the potential  V(x)= k x 2 2 + λ x  where k and  x are positive constants of appropriate dimensions. The particle is slightly displaced from its equilibrium position. The particle oscillates with the angular frequency ω given by
EASY
A particle is performing SHM starting from extreme position. Graphical representation shows that, between displacement and acceleration, there is a phase difference of
EASY
Water enters through end A with speed v1 and leaves through end B with speed v2 of a cylindrical tube AB. The tube is always completely filled with water. In case I, the tube is horizontal. In case II, it is vertical with end A upwards. In case III, it is vertical with end B upwards. We have v1=v2 for:

Water is flowing continuously from a tap having an internal diameter of 8×10-3 m. The velocity of water as it leaves the tap is 0.4 m s-1. The diameter of the water stream at a distance 2×10-1 m below the tap is close to,
EASY
Two water pipes of diameters 2 cm and 4 cm are connected with the main supply line. The velocity of flow of water in the pipe of 2 cm diameter is
EASY
An ideal fluid flows through a pipe of circular cross-section made of two sections with diameters 2.5 cm and 3.75 cm. The ratio of the velocities in the two pipes is
MEDIUM
Water is moving with a speed of 5.18 m s-1 through a pipe with a cross-sectional area of 4.20 cm2. The water gradually descends 9.66 m as the pipe increases in area to 7.60 cm2. The speed of flow at the lower level is
MEDIUM
Which of the following diagrams does not represent a streamline flow?
 
MEDIUM
The rate of steady volume flow of water through a capillary tube of length l and radius r, under a pressure difference of p si V. This tube is connected with another tube of the same length but half the radius, in series. Then the rate of steady volume flow through them is (The pressure difference across the combination is p)
