A large balloon has been tied with a rope and it is floating in the air. A person has observed the balloon from the top of a building at angle of elevation of theta_(1) and foot of the rope at an angle of depression of theta_(2 ) . The height of the building is h feet. Draw the diagram for this data.

A pair of parallel horizontal conducting rails of negligible resistance shorted at one end is fixed on a table. The distance between the rails is L.A conducting massless rod of resistance R can slide on the rails frictionlessly. The rod is tied to a massless string which passes over a pulley fixed to the edge of the table. A mass m, tied to the other end of the string, hangs vertically. A constant magnetic field B exists perpendicular to the table. If the system is released from rest. Calculate (a) the terminal velocity achieed by the rod and (b) the acceleration of the mass at the instant, when the velocity of the rod is half the terminal velocity.
