Two masses m and $${m \over 2}$$ are connected at the two ends of a massless rigid rod of length l. The rod is suspended by a thin wire of torsional constant k, at the centre of mass of the rod-mass system(see figure). Because of torsional constant k, the restoring torque is $$\tau $$ = k$$\theta $$ for angular displacement $$\theta $$. If the rod is rotated by $$\theta $$₀ and released, the tension in it when it passes through its mean position will be :

Three blocks A, B and C are lying on a smooth horizontal surface, as shown in the figure. A and B have equal masses, m while C has mass M, Block A is given an initial speed $$\upsilon $$ towards B due to which it collides with B perfectly inelastically. The combined mass collides with C, also perfectly inelastically $${5 \over 6}$$th of the initial kinetic energy is lost in whole process. What is value of M/m ?

The mass of a hydrogen molecule is 3.32 $$\times$$ 10^-27 kg. If 10²³ hydrogen molecules strike, per second, a fixed wall of area 2 cm² at an angle of 45^o to the normal, and rebound elastically with a speed of 10³ m/s, then the pressure on the wall is nearly:

In a collinear collision, a particle with an initial speed v₀ strikes a stationary particle of the same mass. If the final total kinetic energy is 50% greater than the original kinetic energy, the magnitude of the relative velocity between the two particles, after collision, is :
