A block of mass m is on an inclined plane of angle θ. The coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is μ and tan θ > μ. The block is held stationary by applying a force P parallel to the plane. The direction of force pointing up the plane is taken to be positive. As P is varied from P₁ = mg(sinθ − μ cosθ) to P₂ = mg(sinθ + μ cosθ), the frictional force f versus P graph will look like

A point mass of 1 kg collides elastically with a stationary point mass of 5 kg. After their collision, the 1 kg mass reverses its direction and moves with a speed of 2 ms⁻¹. Which of the following statement(s) is (are) correct for the system of these two masses?

A binary star consists of two stars A (mass 2.2M_s) and B (mass 11M_s), where M_s is the mass of the sun. They are separated by distance d and are rotating about their centre of mass, which is stationary. The ratio of the total angular momentum of the binary star to the angular momentum of star B about the centre of mass is

Gravitational acceleration on the surface of a planet is $${{\sqrt 6 } \over {11}}g$$, where $$g$$ is the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the earth. The average mass density of the planet is $${2 \over 3}$$ times that of the earth. If the escape speed on the surface of the earth is taken to be 11 kms^-1, the escape speed on the surface of the planet in kms^-1 will be
