A girl stands at a distance 30 cm from the mirror. She is able to see her erect image but of 1/5 height of actual height. The mirror will be :

A thin, uniform rod with negligible mass and length 0.200m is attached to the floor by a frictionless hinge at point P (as shown in fig) A horizontal spring with force constant k=4.80Nm^-1 connects the other end of the rod to a vertical wall. The rod to a vertical wall. The rod is in a uniform magnetic field B=0.340T directed into the plane of the figure. There is current I=6.50 A in the rod, in the direction shown. Calculate the torque due to the magnetic force on the rod, for an axis at P.

Consider the situation shown in the Figure. The mirror AB forms image of point object P. Co-ordinates of A, B and P are (0, 10) m, (0, 8) m and (– 2, 0) m respectively. Two observers O1 and O2 are located at (– 2, 10) m and (– 1, 13) m respectively. (a) One of the two observers cannot see the image of point P. Identify the observer. (b) To ensure that both the observers are able to see the image, it was decided to use a longer mirror. Keeping the upper end of the mirror fixed at A (0, 10) m, what is the minimum length of mirror required so that both observers can see the image of point P?

One end of a horizontal uniform beam of weight W and length L is hinged on a vertical wall at point O and its other end is supported by a light inextensible rope. The other end of the rope is fixed at point Q at a height L above the hinge at point O. A block of weight alpha W is attached at the point Q at a height L above the hinge at point O. A block of weight alpha W is attached at the point P of the beam as shown in the figure. The rope can sustain a maximum tension of 2(sqrt(2)) W . Which of the following statements is/are correct?

Noor, a young student, was trying to demonstrate some properties of light in her Science project work. She kept ‘X’ inside the box (as shown in the figure) and with the help of a laser pointer made light rays pass through the holes on one side of the box. She had a small butter-paper screen to see the spots of light being cast as they emerged. What could be the ‘X’ that she placed inside the box to make the rays behave as shown?

Question Stimulus :- DIRECTIONS: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Long, long ago in a big forest, there were many trees, among the cluster of trees, there was a very tall pine tree. He was so tall that he could talk to the stars in the sky. He could easily gaze over the heads of the other trees. One day, late in the evening, the pine tree saw a little girl approaching him. He could see her only because of his height. She was in tears. The pine tree bent as low as he could and asked the weeping girl. ‘What is the matter? Why are you crying?’ the little girl, still sobbing replied, ‘I was gathering flowers for the goddess Durga, Who I believe, would help my parents to overcome their poverty and I have lost my way’. The pine tree said to the little girl, ‘It is late in the evening. It will not be possible for you to return to your house, which is at the other end at the forest. Sleep for the night at this place.’ The pine tree pointed out to an open cave­like place under him. The little girl was frightened of wild animals. The girl quickly crept into the cave-­like place. The pine tree was happy and pleased with himself. He stood like a soldier guarding the place. The girl woke up in the morning and was amazed to see the pine tree standing like a guard outside the cave. Then her gaze travelled to the heap of flowers that she had gathered the previous night. The flowers lay withering on the ground. The pine tree understood what was going on in the girl’s mind. He wrapped his branches around the nearby flower trees and shook them gently. The little girl’s eyes brightened. But a great surprise awaited her. The pine tree brought out a bag of gold coins which had been lying for years in the hole in its trunk and gave it to the girl. With teary eyes she thanked her benefactor and went away. Why was little girl crying ?
