A shell at rest at the origin explodes into 3 fragments A,B and C of masses 1 kg, 2 kg and m kg respectively. A moves along the X-axis with a speed of 12 m/s, B moves along the Y-axis with a speed of 16 m/s and C flies off with a speed of 40 m/s. What is the total mass of the shell before explosion?

Two events occur simultaneously on the x axis of reference frame S, one at x = 0 and the other at x = +1. According to an observer moving in the positive x direction

A uniform constant magnetic field B is directed at an angle of 45^(@) to the x axis in the xy - plane . PQRS is a rigid, square wire frame carrying a steady current I_(0) , with its centre at the origin O . At time t = 0 , the frame is at rest in the position as shown in figure , with its sides parallel to the x and y axis. Each side of the frame is of mass M and length L . (a) What is the torque tau about O acting on the frame due to the magnetic field? (b) Find the angle by which the frame rotates under the action of this torque in a short interval of time Deltat , and the axis about this rotation occurs . ( Deltat is so short that any variation in the torque during this interval may be neglected .) Given : the moment of interia of the frame about an axis through its centre perpendicular to its about an axis through its centre perpendicular to its plane is (4)/(3) ML^(2) .
