At a certain location in Africa, a compass points 12^@ west of the geographic north. The north tip of the magnetic needle of a dip circle placed in the plane of magnetic meridian points 60^@ above the horizontal. The horizontal component of the earth's held is measured to be 0.16 G. Specify the direction and magnitude of the earth's field at the location.

The radical axis of the two circleS and the line of centres of those circleS are

The difference between the radii of a smaller circle and a larger circle is 7cm and the difference between the areas of the two circles is 1078 sq.cm . Find the radius of the smaller circle.

If one of the diameters of the circle x^2+ y^2-2x-6y + 6=0 is a chord to the circle with centre (2, 1), then the radius of the circles is :

How can you prove the converse of the above theorem. " If a line in the plane of a circle is perpendicular to the radius at its endpoint on the circle, then the line is tangent of the circle ".

The radius of a circle is increasing uniformly at the ratio 3 cm/s. Find the rate at which the area of the circle is increasing when the radius is 10 cm.

The diameter of a circle is a line which joins two points on the circle and also passes through the centre of the circle. (In the adjoining figure (Fig 11.12) AB is a diameter of the circle, C is its centre.) Express the diameter of the circle (d) in terms of its radius (r).
