To solve the problem of finding the dimensions of the strongest beam that can be cut from a circular log of radius \( a \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem The strength \( S \) of the beam is given by the product of its breadth \( x \) and the square of its depth \( y \). Therefore, we can express the strength as: \[ S = x \cdot y^2 \] ...

An accelration produces a narrow beam of protons, each having an initial speed of v_(0) . The beam is directed towards an initially uncharges distant metal sphere of radius R and centered at point O. The initial path of the beam is parallel to the axis of the sphere at a distance of (R//2) from the axis, as indicated in the diagram. The protons in the beam that collide with the sphere will cause it to becomes charged. The subsequentpotential field at the accelerator due to the sphere can be neglected. The angular momentum of a particle is defined in a similar way to the moment of a force. It is defined as the moment of its linear momentum, linear replacing the force. We may assume the angular momentum of a proton about point O to be conserved. Assume the mass of the proton as m_(P) and the charge on it as e. Given that the potential of the sphere increases with time and eventually reaches a constant velue. After a long time, when the potential of the sphere reaches a constant value, the trajectory of proton is correctly sketched as
