Assume that water issuing from the end of a horizontal pipe. 7.5 m above the ground describes a parabolic path. The vertex of the parabolic path . The vertex of the parabolic path is at the end of the pipe. At a position 2.5 m below the line of the pipe . At a position 2.5 m below the line of the pipe , the flow of water has curved outward 3m beyond the vertical line through the end of the pipe. How far beyond this vertical line will the water strike the ground ?

The cable of a uniformly loaded suspension bridge hangs in the form of a parabola . The roadway which is horizontal and 100 m long is supported by vertical wires attached to the cable, the longest wire being 30 m and the shortest being 6 m. Find the length of a supporting wire attached to the roadway 18 m from the middle.

A cable of a suspension bridge is in the form of a parabola whose span is 40m. The road way is 5m below the lowest point of the cable. If an extra support is provided across the cable 30m above the ground level. Find the length of the support if the height of the pillars are 55 mts.

A bar magnet of length 8 cm and having a pole strengh of 1.0 A m is placed vertically on a horizontal table with its south pole on the table. A neutral point is found on the table at a distance of 6.0 cm north of the magnet. Calculate the earth's horizontal magnetic field.

Two metal strips, each of length, each of length l, are clamped parallel to each other on a horizontal floor with a separation b between them. A wire of mass m line on them perpendicularly as shown in figure. A vertically upward magnetic field of strenght B exists in the space. The matal strips are smooth but the cofficient of freiction between the wire and the floor is mu . A current i is established when the switch S is closed at the instant t=0 . Discuss the motion of the wire after the switch is closed. How far away from the strips will the wire reach?

(i) Keep a glass slab on a blank paper and draw its outline PQRS as shown in the figure. (ii) Draw an inclined straight line on the side of PQ so that it intersect PQ at N. Pierce two pins vertically at two points A and B along the line. (iii) Look at the pins A and B from the opposite side of the slab and pierce pins C and D vertically so that the images of A and B are in line with C and D. (iv) Now remove the chip and the pins and draw a straight line going through points C and D so that it intersects SR at M. (v) Join points M and N. Observe the incident ray AN and emergent ray MD. Questions: (a) What is your observation about the emergent ray and incident ray ?
