There are several arguments against Genetically Modified crops (G.M crops.). Organisations like 'Green Peace' protest against the cultivation of G.M. crops. Suppose you are also a protestor, what will be your two main arguments against G.M. crops?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

i. GM crops may cross fertilize with natural varieties producing unde sirable characters. ii. Since GM crops contain genes from other organisms like bacteria, these may produce toxic chemicals harmful to humans.

In a rotor, a hollow vertical cylindrical structure rotates about its axis and a person rests against the inner wall. At a particular speed of the rotor, the floor below the person is removed and the person hangs resting against the wall without any floor. If the radius of the rotor is 2m and the coefficient of static friction between the wall and the person is 0.2, find the minimum speed at which the floor may be removed Take g=10 m/s^2 .

A car moving at a speed of 36 km/hr is taking a turn on a circular road of radius 50 m. A small wooden plate is kept on the seat with its plane perpendicular to the radius of the circular road figure. A small bock of mass 100 g is kept on the seat which rests against the plate. The friction coefficient between the block and the plate is mu=0.58. a. Find the normal contact force exerted by the plate on the block. b. The plate is slowly turned so that the angle between the normal to the plate and the radius of the road slowly increases Find the angle at which the block will just start sliding on the plate.

A block of mass 250 g slides down an incline of inclination 37^0 with a uniform speed. Find the work done against the friction as the block slides through 1.0 m.
