The length of a metal wire is when the tension in it is and is when the tension is The natural length of the wire is:



Two billiard balls of equal mass strike a rigid wall with same speed of (as shown) but at different angles. If the balls get reflected with the same speed, then the ratio of the magnitude of impulses imparted to ball and ball by the wall along direction is:


A block of mass slides along a floor while a force of magnitude is applied to it at an angle as shown in figure. The coefficient of kinetic friction is . Then, the block's acceleration is given by : ( is acceleration due to gravity)
