An electric heater is used in a room of total wall area 137m^(2) to maintain a temperature of +20^(@)C inside it when the outside temperature is -10^(@)C . The walls have three different layers materials . The innermost layer is of wood of thickness 2.5 cm, in the middle layer is od cement of thickness 1.0 cm and the outermost layer is of brick of thickness 25.0 cm. find the power of the electric heater. Assume that there is no heat loss through the floor and the ceiling. The thermal conductives of wood, cement and brick are 0.125, 1.5 and 1.0 watt//m// .^(@)C respectively.

Figure shows the relationship between tensile stress and strain for a typical material. Below proportional point A, stress is directly proportional to strain which means Young's moudulus (Y) is a constant. In this region the material obeys Hooke's law. Provided the strain is below the yield point 'B' the material returns to its original shape and size when the force is removed. Beyond the yield point, the material retains a permancnt deformation after the stress is removed. For stresses beyond the yeld point, the material exhibit plastic flow, which means that it continues to elongate for little increases in the stress. Beyond C a local constriction occurs. The material fractures at D (i.e. breaking point). The graph below shows the stress-strain curve for 4 different materials.

A vibrating string of certain length l under a tension T resonates with a mode corresponding to the first overtone (third harmonic ) of an air column of length 75 cm inside a tube closed at one end. The string also generates 4 beats//s with a tuning fork of frequency n . Now when the tension of the string is slightly increased the number of beats reduces to 2 per second. Assuming the velocity of sound in air to 340 m//s , the frequency n the tuning fork in H_(Z) is (a) 344 (b) 336 (c ) 117.3 (d) 109.3
