Consider a water jar of radius R that has water filled up to height H and is kept on astand of height h (see figure). Through a hole of radius r (r << R) at its bottom, the water leaks out and the stream of water coming down towards the ground has a shape like a funnel as shown in the figure. If the radius of the cross-section of water stream when it hits the ground is x. Then :

Figure shows elliptical path abcd of a planet around the sun S such that the area of triangle csa is $${1 \over 4}$$ the area of the ellipse. (See figure) With db as the semimajor axis, and ca as the semiminor axis. If t₁ is the time taken for planet to go over path abc and t₂ for path taken over cda then :

To find the focal length of a convex mirror, a student records the following data :

Object Pin	Convex Lens	Convex Mirror	Image Pin
22.2 cm	32.2 cm	45.8 cm	71.2 cm

The focal length of the convex lens is f₁ and that of mirror is f₂. Then taking index correction to be negligibly small, f₁ and f₂ are close to :

A uniformly tapering conical wire is made from a material of Young’s modulus Y and has a normal, unextended length L. The radii, at the upper and lower ends of this conical wire, have values R and 3 R, respectively. The upper end of the wire is fixed to a rigid support and a mass M is suspended from its lower end. The equilibrium extended length, of this wire, would equal :
