A student lists the following precautions for the experiment on determining the velocity of a pulse propagated through a stretched string: (A) The string should not be stretched too tight. (B) The counting of the pilse journeys must start from zero and not from one. (C) The string should be stretched straight in contact with the table. (D) The amplitude of the pulse should be kept appreciably high. The incorrect entry, in this list of precautions, is the precaution listed as:

Four students did their experiments on measuring the speed of a pulse through a string as follows : Student A stretched his thick cotton string very taut and gave it a very mild transverse horizontal jerk. Student B stretched his thin jute string just taut and gave it a mild transverse horizontal jerk. Student C stretched his thick cotton string just taut and gave a strong transverse horizontal jerk. Student D stretched his thin jute string very taut and gave it a strong transverse horizontal jerk. The best choice is that of student :

Two blocks of mass m_(1)=10kg and m_(2)=5kg connected to each other by a massless inextensible string of length 0.3m are placed along a diameter of the turntable. The coefficient of friction between the table and m_(1) is 0.5 while there is no friction between m_(2) and the table. the table is rotating with an angular velocity of 10rad//s . about a vertical axis passing through its center O . the masses are placed along the diameter of the table on either side of the center O such that the mass m_(1) is at a distance of 0.124m from O . the masses are observed to be at a rest with respect to an observed on the tuntable (g=9.8m//s^(2)) . (a) Calculate the friction on m_(1) (b) What should be the minimum angular speed of the turntable so that the masses will slip from this position? (c ) How should the masses be placed with the string remaining taut so that there is no friction on m_(1) .

In the following items, each passage consists of six sentences. The first and the sixth sentence are given in the beginning as S1 and 56. The middle four sentences in each have been removed and jumbled up. These are labelled P, Q, R and S. You are required to find out the proper sequence of the four sentences and mark your response accordingly on the Answer Sheet. S1: The boy felt his way up the creaking stairs through thick darkness. S6: He was just telling himself he was safe when the door was flung open and the gaunt old man grabbed his shoulder. P: All he had to do was just get past the central door on the landing. He stopped as the great clock below whined for a few seconds and gave out a single, solemn stroke. R: His eyes were raised to the faint moonlight that shone above the landing. S: He hesitated as the sound died down and then crept on, thinking that if they could sleep through that, they would sleep through any noise he could make. The proper sequence should be
