An astronaut of mass m is working on a satellite orbiting the earth at a distance h from the earth’s surface. The radius of the earth is R, while its mass is M. The gravitational pull F_G on the astronaut is :

Concrete mixture is made by mixing cement, stone and sand in a rotating cylindrical drum. If the drum rotates too fast, the ingredients remain stuck to the wall of the drum and proper mixing of ingredients does not take place. The maximum rotational speed of the drum in revolutions per minute(rpm) to ensure proper mixing is close to :

(Take the radius of the drum to be 1.25 m and its axle to be horizontal) :

A, B, C and D are four different physical quantities having different dimensions. None of them is dimensionless. But we know that the equation AD = C ln (BD) holds true. Then which of the combination is not a meaningful quantity ?

A particle of mass M is moving in a circle of fixed radius R in such a way that its centripetal acceleration at time t is given by n² R t² where n is a constant. The power delivered to the particle by the force acting on it, is :
