A body slides down from rest along a smooth inclined plane making an angle of 45^(@) with the horizontal and takes time 'Y' to slide down the whole length of the plane. If the plane surface is rough the same body takes n.t time to slide down same length of the plane where n is a number greater than one. What is the value of coefficient of friction between the body and rough plane surface?

A given number of atoms, N_(0) of a radioactive element with a half life T is uniformly distributed in the blood stream of a (i) Normal person A having total volume V of blood in the body. (ii) Person B in need of blood transfusion having a volume V' of blood in the body. The number of radioactive atoms per unit volume in the blood streams of the two persons after a time nT are found to be N_1 and N_2 . Prove mathematically that the additional volume of blood that needs to be transfused in the body of person B equals ((N_2 - N_1) /(N_2) ) V.
