A mat of mass 1kg and length 1m is placed on the floor. One end of the mat is pulled with a constant speed of 1m/s towards the other end till the other end comes in to motion (till the mat is reverse). How much force is required to do this ?

As shown in figure, a mat is being pulled with a coonstant speed of `v = 1m//s,` so that the mass of the part of the mat is continuously increasing. Hence here the mass is a variable.
The time required for bringing the entire mat in motion is given by
`Delta t =("distance covered by the end")/("speed")`
`= (2m)/(1m//s) =2s`
(Distance covered by the end =1m + 1m =2m)
From Newton.s second law of motion,
`F _(n et) = (Delta p)/(Delta t) = (Delta (mv))/(Delta t)`
Here v is constnat, so we get
`F _( n et) =v (Deltam)/(Delta t)`
Where `Deltam` is the cahrge of mass in `Delta t` time.
THge charge of mass in 2s is equal to entire mass of mat.
` F _(n et) = ((1m //s) x (1kg))/(2s)`
`=1/2N`
In the horizontal direction only one force is acting. Hence the required force is `1//2N`

Two narrow cylindrical pipes A and B have the same length. Pipe A is open at both ends and is filled with a monoatomic gas of molar mass M_(A) . Pipe B is open at one end and closed at the other end, and is filled with a diatomic gas of molar mass M_(B) . Both gases are at the same temperature. (a) If the frequency of the second harmonic of the fundamental mode in pipe A is equal to the frequency of the third harmonic of the fundamental mode in pipe B , determine the value of M_(B)//M_(B) . (b) Now the open end of pipe B is also closed (so that the pipe is closed at both ends). Find the ratio of the fundamental frequency in pipe A to that in pipe B .
