A drunkard walking in a narrow lane takes 5 steps forward and 3 steps backward, followed again by 5 steps forward and 3 steps backward, and so on. Each step is 1 m long and requires 1 s. Plot the `x -t` graph of his motion. Determine graphically and otherwise how long the drunkard takes to fall in a pit 13 m away from the start

A narrow beam of singly charged carbon ions, moving at a constant velocity of 6.0 X10^4 ms^(-1), is sent perpendicularly in a rectangular region having uniform magnetic field B=0.5 T . It is found that two beams emerge from the field in the backward derection, the separations from the incident beam being 3.0 cm and 3.5cm. Identify the isotopes persent in the ion beam. Take the mass of an ion = A(1.6 X10^(-27) kg, where A is the mass number.
