During an experiment with a metre bridge, the galvanometer shall a null point when the jockey is pressed at 40.0 cm using a standard resistance of 90$$\Omega$$, as shown in the figure. The least count of the scale used in the meter bridge is 1 mm. The unknown resistance is

A wire, which passes through the hole in a small bead, is bent in the form of quarter of a circle. The wire is fixed vertically on ground as shown in the below figure. The bead is released from near the top of the wire and it slides along the wire without friction. As the bead moves from A to B, the force it applies on the wire is

A glass capillary tube is of the shape of truncated cone with an apex angle $$\alpha$$ so that its two ends have cross sections of different radii. When dipped in water vertically, water rises in it to a height h, where the radius of its cross section is b. If the surface tension of water is S, its density is $$\rho$$, and its contact angle with glass is $$\theta$$, the value of h will be (g is the acceleration due to gravity)

A point source S is placed at the bottom of a transparent block of height 10 mm and refractive index 2.72. It is immersed in a lower refractive index liquid as shown in the below figure. It is found that the light emerging from the block to the liquid forms a circular bright spot of diameter 11.54 mm on the top of the block. The refractive index of the liquid is
