Consider an elliptically shaped rail PQ in the vertical plane with OP = 3 m and OQ = 4 m. A block of mass 1 kg is pulled along the rail from P to Q with a force of 18 N, which is always parallel to line PQ (see the figure given). Assuming no frictional losses, the kinetic energy of the block when it reaches Q is (n × 10) Joules. The value of n is (take acceleration due to gravity = 10 ms^–2)

A rocket is moving in a gravity free space with a constant acceleration of 2 ms^–2 along + x direction (see figure). The length of a chamber inside the rocket is 4 m. A ball is thrown from the left end of the chamber in + x direction with a speed of 0.3 ms^–1 relative to the rocket. At the same time, another ball is thrown in - x direction with a speed of 0.2 ms^–1 from its right end relative to the rocket. The time in seconds when the two balls hit each other is

To find the distance d over which a signal can be seen clearly in foggy conditions, a railways engineer uses dimensional analysis and assumes that the distance depends on the mass density $$\rho $$ of the fog, intensity (power/area) S of the light from the signal and its frequency f. The engineer finds that d is proportional to S^1/n. The value of n is

During Searle's experiment, zero of the Vernier scale lies between 3.20 $$ \times $$ 10^-2 m and 3.25 $$ \times $$ 10^-2 m of the main scale. The 20^th division of the Vernier scale exactly coincides with one of the main scale divisions. When an additional load of 2 kg is applied to the wire, the zero of the Vernier scale still lies between 3.20 $$ \times $$ 10^-2 m and 3.25 $$ \times $$ 10^-2 m of the main scale but now the 45^th division of Vernier scale coincides with one of the main scale divisions. The length of the thin metallic wire is 2 m and its cross-sectional area is 8 $$ \times $$ 10^-7 m². The least count of the Vernier scale is 1.0 $$ \times $$ 10^-5 m. The maximum percentage error in the Young's modulus of the wire is
