Time = Distance/Speed and not displacement divided by speed.

Displacement is same in all the three cases but distance covered is different.
In the first case, the body first goes vertically up and then comes down
because of which time taken in this case is maximum.

In the second case it goes vertically down with some velocity, so time taken
in this case will be less than that in the first case.

In the third case, body is projected horizontally, which means no initial

velocity in the downward direction,therefore, the body takes more time than
in the second case but less as compared to first.

So, time taken should be in this order: b < c < a (Option C)

We have to cover a distance of 1350m in shortest time possible given that we

can accelerate at 1m/s^2 and deccelerate at 3m/s^2. Now we have two
cases

1. lets say we covered the first x meters acclerating at 1 m/s^2. Initial

velocity in this case will be zero as the train will start from rest.

Applying: v^2 - u^2 = 2as

v^2 - 0^2 = 2*1*x

v^2 = 2x

v = squareRoot(2x)...............(This will be taken as initial velocity in the next

case )

2. Now we apply the brakes and cover the remaining (1350 - x) meters by
deccelerating at 3m/s^2. In this case, for the train to stop at the station, final
velocity(v) should be zero.

v^2 - u^2 = 2(-3)(1350 - x)

0 - 2x = -6(1350 - x)

8x = 8100

x = 8100/8 = 1012.5 m
Now calculate time in both the cases:

Case1 : Applying: v =u + at

squareRoot(2x) = 0 + 1*t

t = squareRoot(2x) = squareRoot(2*1012.5) = squareRoot(2025) = 45s

Case2: Applying: v =u + at

0 = squareRoot(2x) + (-3)t

0 = 45 3t

t = 45/3 = 15s

Total Time = 45 + 15 = 60s

Your doubt is why the motion is not SHM. Now, for a motion to be a SHM it
should satisfy 2 conditions. First condition is that restoring force should
always be directed towards mean position and second condition is that the
value of restoriong force should be directly proportion to displacement.

In the given figure, restoring force is mgsin(theta) which is always directed

towards the mean position but this force is a constant, that is, it does not
depend upon the displacement of the body. Hence, the motion is NOT an SHM
.

Yes, Moment of Inertia depends upon the distribution of mass but there is a
Perpendicular axis theorem which can help us find MoI along a certain axis if
we know its value about some other axis.
Perpendicular axis theorem says that the Moment of Inertia along z-axis I(z) is
equal to the sum of Moment of Inertia along y-axis I(y) and Moment of Inertia
along x-axis I(x).

I(z) = I(y) + I(x)

In the given figure, if we take I(2) as the MoI along y-axis then I(4) will be the
MoI along x-axis as both are at an angle of 90 degrees to each other. In the
same way, If we take I(1) as the MoI along y-axis then I(3) will be the MoI
along x-axis (both are at 90 degrees to each other).

Therefore: MoI perpendicular to the plane I(z) = I(2) + I(4) = I(1) + I(3)

There is very simple formula for calculating the amplitude of LSF and USF. LSF
stands for Lower Side frequency of the modulated wave and USF stands for
Upper Side frequency. The formula for calculating their amplitude is:

LSF or USF = x*(a/2)

where x is the Modulation Index and a is the amplitude of the carrier wave

x = 2/10 = 0.2, a = 10mV

So, LSF or USF = x*(a/2) = 0.2 *(10/2) = 1mV

If a conductor of length (L) is moving with a velocity(v) in a magnitic field(B),

then the EMF(E) developed acroos it is given by: E = B*v*L

As the bulb lights at its rated power(100W), therefore:

Power = E^2/R

E^2 = P*R = 100*R

B^2*v^2*L^2= 100*R
B^2 = 100*R/(v^2*L^2) ..........................1

Now, because the block M is moving down with a constant velocity, so net
force on it must be zero. Therefore, the weight must be balanced by Tension
in the string(T) and Tension should be balanced by the magnetic force(B*I*L)
acting on the conductor by the earths magnetic field(B).

So, Mg = T

T = B*I*L = B*(E/R)*L = B*(B*v*L/R)*L = B^2*v*L^2/R

Mg = B^2*v*L^2/R

B^2 = MgR/(v*L^2) ..............................2

Equating 1 and 2 we can eliminate B (earths magnetic field)

100*R/(v^2*L^2) = MgR/(v*L^2)

100/v = Mg

M = 100/vg = 100/(10*10) = 1kg (Given: v = 10m/s)

We know that: Force = Pressure * Area

Therefore, if same pressure is applied on two different areas then force

experiend by them will be different. In short, for same pressure more
area means more force.

The pressure experienced by both A and B should be same because

according to Pascals Law: pressure is transmitted equally in all the directions.
Now, if the area of B is n times the area of A then the force experienced by B
will also be n times F (the force exerted on piston A).

We know that work done is equal to Change in potential energy. So when we

lift a point mass(m) through a height(h), then work done is equal to mgh.

But in this case, the body is not a point mass but a chain of uniform mass(m)
and when we raise one of its edge to a height equal to the length(l) of the
chain then its center of mass is raised from ground to a height equal to l/2. So
we can assume that the chain is a point mass and is raised to a height equal
to l/2 because at the end the center of mass is just lifted to this height.

We know that: Youngs Modulus = Stress/Strain

therefore: Strain = Stress/Youngs Modulus

Now, Because youngs modulus of copper and steel is different but stress
applied on them is same, therefore, in order to satisfy the above equation
strain developed in them has to be different.

The temperature which thermometers measure is nothing but the average of

the kinetic energy of molecules. When we supply heat energy to the system
then most of the times it increases the kinetic energy of the molecules thus
increases its temperature but then in some cases it does not do so. An
example for this is, when you heat ice at zero degree celsius then it changes
to water at zero degree celsius. In this case, the heat supplied is used to
change the state of ice from solid to liquid form and therefore the average
kinetic energy of the molecules does not increase and as a result the
temperature also does not increase.
