A short bar magnet placed on a horizontal plane has its axis aligned along the magnetic north- south direction . Null points are found on the magnet . The earth's magnetic field at the place is 0.36G . What is the magnet at the total magnetic field on the normal bisector of the same distance as the null points (i.e., 14 cm) from the centre of the magnet (at null points , field due to a magnet is equal and opposite to the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field . )

In a bucket and ball race, a bucket is placed at the starting point, which is 5 m from the first ball, and the other balls are placed 3 m apart in a straight line. There are ten balls in the line. A competitor starts from the bucket, picks up the nearest ball, runs back with it, drops it in the bucket, runs back to pick up the next ball, runs to the bucket to drop it in, and she continues in the same way until all the balls are in the bucket. What is the total distance the competitor has to run? (Hint: To pick up the first ball and the second ball, the total distance (in metres) run by a competitor is 2 x 5 + 2 x (5+3)]
