The population of a village increases continuously at the rate proportional to the number of its inhabitants present at any time. If the population of the village was 20, 000 in 1999 and 25000 in the year 2004, what will be the population of the village in 2009?

Hydrolysis of methyl acetate in aqueous solution has been studied by titrating the liberated acetic acid against sodium hydroxide. The concentration of the ester at different times is given below. Show that it follows a pseudo first order reaction, as the concentration of water remains nearly constant (55 mol L^(-1)), during the course of the reaction. What is the value of k in this equation? Rate = k [CH_3C00CH_3][H_20]

A plant species shows seceral morphological variations in response to altitudinal gradient. When grown under similar conditions of growth, the morphological variations disappear and all the variants have common morphology. What are these variants called?

Figure 14.26 (a) shows a spring of force constant k clamped rigidly at one end and a mass m attached to its free end. A force F applied at the free end stretches the spring. Figure 14.26 (b) shows the same spring with both endsfree and attached to a mass m at either end. Each end of the spring in Fig. 14.26(b) is stretched by the same force F If the mass in Fig. (a) and the two masses in Fig. (b) are released, what is the period of oscillation in each case ?
