Two parallel vertical metallic rails AB and CD are separated by 1m. They are connected at the two ends by resistances R_1 and R_2 as shown in the figure. A horizontal metallic bar 1 of mass 0.2 kg slides without friction, vertically down the rails under the action of gravity. There is a uniform horizontal magnetic field of 0.6 T perpendicular to the plane of the rails. It is observed that when the terminal velocity is attained, the powers dissipated in R_1 and R_2 are 0.76W and 1.2W respectively (g=9.8m//s^2) The value of R_2 is

The centre of gravity of a body on the earth coincides with its centre of mass for a 'small' object whereas for an 'extended' object it may not. What is the quantitative meaning of 'small' and 'extended' in this regard? For whicih of the following the two coincides? A building, a pond, a lake, a mountain??

The region between x=0 and x=L is filled with uniform steady magnetic field B_0hatk . A particle of mass m, positive charge q and velocity v_0hati travels along x-axis and enters the region of the magnetic field. Neglect the gravity throughout the question. Find the value of L if the particle emerges from the region of magnetic field with its final velocilty at an angel 30^@ to its initial velocity.
