A uniform thin cylindrical disk of mass M and radius R is attaached to two identical massless springs of spring constatn k which are fixed to the wall as shown in the figure. The springs are attached to the axle of the disk symmetrically on either side at a distance d from its centre. The axle is massless and both the springs and the axle are in horizontal plane. the unstretched length of each spring is L. The disk is initially at its equilibrium position with its centre of mass (CM) at a distance L from the wall. The disk rolls without slipping with velocity vecV_0 = vacV_0hati.

A closed cubical box is made of perfectly insulating material and the only way for heat to enter or leave the box is through two solid cylindrical metal plugs, each of cross sectional area 12cm^(2) and length 8cm fixed in the opposite walls of the box. The outer surface of one plug is kept at a temperature of 100^(@)C . while the outer surface of the plug is maintained at a temperature of 4(@)C . The thermal conductivity of the material of the plug is 2.0Wm^(-1).^(@)C^(-1) . A source of energy generating 13W is enclosed inside the box. Find the equilibrium temperature of the inner surface of the box assuming that it is the same at all points on the inner surface.

An experimental setup of verification of photoelectric effect is shown in the diagram. The voltage across the electrode is measured with the help of an ideal voltmetar, and which can be varied by moving jockey 'J' on the potentiometer wire. The battery used in potentiometer circuit is of 20 V and its internal resistance is 2omega . The resistance of 100 cm long potentiometer wire is 8 omega . The photo current is measured with the help of an ideal ammeter. Two plates of potassium oxide of area 50 cm^(2) at separation 0.5 mm are used in the vacuum tube.

One end of a long string of linear mass density 8.0 xx 10^(-3) kg m^(-1) is connected to an electrically driven tuning fork of frequency 256Hz. The other end passes over a pulley and is tied to a pan containing a mass of 90kg. The pulley end absorbs all the incoming energy so that reflected waves at this end have negligible amplitude. At t=0, the left end (fork end) of the string x=0 has zero transverse displacement (y=0) and is moving along positive y-direction. The amplitude of the wave is 5.0 cm. Write down the transverse displacement y as function of x and t that describes the wave on the string.

Consider a coin of Question 20. It is electrically neutral and contains equal amounts of positive and negative charge of magnitude 34.8 kC. Suppose that these equal charges were concentrated in two point charges separated by: (i) 1 cm (-1/2) xx displacement of the one paisa coin) (ii) 100 m (-length of a long building) (iii) 10^(6) m (radius of the earth). Find the force on each such point charge in each of the three cases. What do you conclude from these results ?
