A wire, which passes through the hole in a small bead, is bent in the form of quarter of a circle. The wire is fixed vertically on ground as shown in the figure. The bead is released from near the top of the wire and it slides along the wire without friction. As the bead moves from A to B, the force it applies on the wire is

A rod of mass m and resistance R slides smoothly over two parallel conducting wires kept sloping at an angle theta with respect to the horizontal as shown in figure. The circuit is closed through a perfect conductor at the top. There is a constant magnetic field vecB along the vertical direction. If the rod is initially at rest, find the velocity of the rod as a function of time.

A piece of wire is bent in the shape of a parabola y=kx^(2) (y-axis vertical) with a bead of mass m on it. The bead can slide on the wire without friction. It stays at the lowest point of the parabola when the wire is at rest. The wire is now accelerated parallel to the x-axis with a constant acceleration a. The distance of the new equilibrium position of the bead, where the bead can stay at rest with respect to the wire, from the y-axis is:

A thin spherical shell of total mass M and radius R is held fixed. There is a small hole in the shell. A mass m is released from rest a distance R from the hole along a line that passes through the hole and also through the centre of the shell. This mass subsequently moves under the gravitational force of the shell. How long does the mass take to travel from the hole to the point diametrically opposite.
