  • The Earth is not a perfect sphere. Due to the flattening of Earth at the poles, the radius of Earth is minimum at the poles and hence the value of g is maximum at the poles. One the other hand, the radius of the Earth is maximum at the equator of the Earth. As the mass and radius of moon are smaller than that of the Earth, so the value of g on moon is 1 . 63 m//s ^(2) . As we go up from the surface of the Earth, the distance from the centre of the Earth increases and hence the value of g decreases. The value of g decreases as we go down inside the Earth and it become zero at the centre of the Earth . The ratio of acceleration due to gravity ont he Moon and that on the Earth is

    In a hydrogen atom, the electron and proton are bound at a distance of about 0.53 Å .

    Early crystallographers had trouble solving the structures of inorganic solids using X-ray diffraction because some of the mathematical tools for analyzing the data had not yet been developed. Once a trial structure was proposed, it was relatively easy to calculate the diffraction pattern, but it was difficult to go the other way (from the diffraction pattern to the structure) if nothing was known a priori about the arrangement of atoms in the unit cell. It was important to develop some guidelines for guessing the coordination numbers and bonding geometries of atoms in crystals. The first such rules were proposed by Linus Pauling, who considered how one might pack together oppositely charged spheres of different radii. Pauling proposed from geometric considerations that the quality of the "fit" depended on the radius ratio of the anion and the cation. If the anion is considered as the packing atom in the crystal, then the smaller cation fills interstitial sites ("holes"). Cations will find arrangements in which they can contact the largest number of anions. If the cation can touch all of its nearest neighbour anions then the fit is good. If the cation is too small for a given site, that coordination number will be unstable and it will prefer a lower coordination structure. The table below gives the ranges of cation/anion radius ratios that give the best fit for a given coordination geometry. The radius of Ag^+ ion is 126pm and of I^- ion is 216pm. The coordination number of Ag^+ ion is:

    A uniform rod of mass M and length L is hinged at its lower end so as to rotate freely in the vertical plane of the fig. There is a small tight fitting the hinged end. A small mass less pin welded to the rod supports the bead. The system is released from the vertical position shown. It was observed that the bead just begins to slide on the rod when the rod becomes horizontal. (a) Find the normal contact force between the rod and the bead when the rod gets horizontal. What is the direction of this force? (b) Find the coefficient of friction between the bead and rod.

    Considering theta=pi//2 as the zero-energy position of a current loop of magnetic moment m placed in a magnetic field of strength B,find the minimum potential energy. In what position is the potential energy minimum? Is this an equilibrium position ? What will be the work done in turning it through alpha from this position ? Examine whether you get the dame position for equilibrium and same value for work if theta=0 is taken as the zero-energy position.
