A great physicist of this century (P.A.M. Dirac) loved playing with numerical values of Fundamental constants of nature. This led him to an interesting observation. Dirac found that from the basic constants of atomic physics(c,e, mass of electron, mass of proton) and the gravitational constant G, he could arrive at a number with the dimension of time. Further, it was a very large number, its magnitude being close to the present estimate on the age of the universe (~ 15 billion years). From the table of fundamental constants in this book, try to see if you too can construct this number (or any other interesting number you can think of ). If its coincidence with the age of the universe were significant , what would this imply for the constancy of fundamental constants ?

Represent the following situations in the form of quadratic eqautions : (1) The area of a rectangular plot is 528 m^(2) . The length of the plot (in metres) is one more than twice its breadth. We need to find the length and breadth of the plot. (2) The product of two consecutive positive integers is 306. We need to find the integers. (3) Rohan's mother is 26 years older than him. The product of their ages (in years) 3 years from now will be 360. We would like to find Rohan's present age. (4) A train travels a distance of 480 km at a uniform speed. If the speed had been 8km/h less, it would have taken 3 hours more to cover the same distance. We need to find the speed of the train.

Nazima is fly fishing in a stream. The tip of her fishing rod is 1.8 m above the surface of the water and the fly at the end of the string rests on the water 3.6 m away from her and 2.4 m from a point directly under the tip of the rod. Assuming that her string (from the tip of her rod to the fly) is taut, how much string does she have out (see the given figure)? If she pulls in the string at the rate of 5 cm per second, what will be the horizontal distance of the fly from her after 12 seconds?
