Two fixed frictionless inclined planes making an angle $${30^ \circ }$$ and $${60^ \circ }$$ with the vertical are shown in the figure. Two blocks $$A$$ and $$B$$ are placed on the two planes. What is the relative vertical acceleration of $$A$$ with respect to $$B$$ ?

A diatomic ideal gas is used in a Carnot engine as the working substance. If during the adiabatic expansion part of the cycle the volume of the gas increases from $$V$$ to $$32$$ $$V$$, the efficiency of the engine is

A ball is made of a material of density $$\rho $$ where $${\rho _{oil}}\, < \rho < {\rho _{water}}$$ with $${\rho _{oil}}$$ and $${\rho _{water}}$$ representing the densities of oil and water, respectively. The oil and water are immiscible. If the above ball is in equilibrium in a mixture of this oil and water, which of the following pictures represents its equilibrium position?

The equation of a wave on a string of linear mass density $$0.04\,\,kg\,{m^{ - 1}}$$ is given by $$$y = 0.02\left( m \right)\,\sin \left[ {2\pi \left( {{t \over {0.04\left( s \right)}} - {x \over {0.50\left( m \right)}}} \right)} \right].$$$

The tension in the string is
