Two men are walking along a horizontal straight line in the same direction. The man in front walks at a speed $$1.0\,m{s^{ - 1}}$$ and the man behind walks at a speed $$2.0\,m{s^{ - 1}}.$$ A third man in standing at a height $$12$$ $$m$$ above the same horizontal line such that all three men are in a vertical plane. The two walking men are blowing identical whistles which emit a sound of frequency $$1430$$ $$Hz$$. The speed of sound in air is $$330\,m{s^{ - 1}}.$$ At the instant, when the moving men are $$10$$ $$m$$ apart, the stationary man is equidistant from them. The frequency of beats in $$Hz,$$ heard by the stationary man at this instant, is _____________.

A ring and disc are initially at rest, side by side, at the top of an inclined plane which makes an angle $${60^ \circ }$$ with the horizontal. They start to roll without slipping at the same instant of time along the shortest path. If the time difference between their reaching the ground is $$\left( {2 - \sqrt 3 } \right)/\sqrt {10} \,\,s,$$ then the height of the top of the inclined plane, in metres is ______________ . Take $$g = 10\,\,m{s^{ - 2}}.$$

A spring-block system is resting on a frictionless floor as shown in the figure. The spring constant is $$2.0\,N{m^{ - 1}}$$ and the mass of the block is $$2.0$$ $$kg.$$ Ignore the mass of the spring. Initially the spring is an unstretched condition. Another block of mass $$1.0$$ $$kg$$ moving with a speed of $$2.0$$ $$m{s^{ - 1}}$$ collides elastically with the first block. The collision is such that the $$2.0$$ $$kg$$ block does not hit the wall. The distance, in metres, between the two blocks when the spring returns to its unstretched position for the first time after the collision is __________.

In the figure below, the switches $${S_1}$$ and $${S_2}$$ are closed simultaneously at $$t=0$$ and a current starts to flow in the circuit. Both the batteries have the same magnitude of the electromotive force (emf) and the polarities are as indicated in the figure. Ignore mutual inductance between the inductors. The current $$I$$ in the middle wire reaches its maximum magnitude $${I_{\max }}$$ at time $$t = \tau $$ . Which of the following statements is (are) true?
