A nuclear power plant supplying electrical power to a village uses a radioactive material of half life T years as the fuel.

The amount of fuel at the beginning is such that the total power requirement of the village is 12.5 % of the electrical power available from the plant at that time. If the plant is able to meet the total power needs of the village for a maximum period of nT years, then the value of n is

A ring of mass M and radius R is rotating with angular speed $$\omega$$ about a fixed vertical axis passing through its centre O with two point masses each of mass $${M \over 8}$$ at rest at O. These masses can move radially outwards along two massless rods fixed on the ring as shown in the figure. At some instant, the angular speed of the system is $${8 \over 9}$$$$\omega$$ and one of the masses is at a distance of $${3 \over 5}$$R from O. At this instant, the distance of the other mass from O is

Two identical glass rods S₁ and S₂ (refractive index = 1.5) have one convex end of radius of curvature 10 cm. They are placed with the curved surfaces at a distance d as shown in the figure, with their axes (shown by the dashed line) aligned. When a point source of light P is placed inside rod S₁ on its axis at a distance of 50 cm from the curved face, the light rays emanating from it are found to be parallel to the axis inside S₂. The distance d is

A conductor (shown in the figure) carrying constant current I is kept in the x-y plane in a uniform magnetic field B. If F is the magnitude of the total magnetic force acting on the conductor, then the correct statements is/are
