A slender uniform rod of mass M and length $$l$$ is pivoted at one end so that it can rotate in a vertical plane (see figure). There is negligible friction at the pivot. The free end is held vertically above the pivot and then released. The angular acceleration of the rod when it makes an angle $$\theta$$ with the vertical is

An external pressure P is applied on a cube at 0^oC so that it is equally compressed from all sides. K is the bulk modulus of the material of the cube and $$\alpha$$ is its coefficient of linear expansion. Suppose we want to bring the cube to its original size by heating. The temperature should be raised by:

A particle A of mass m and initial velocity v collides with a particle B of mass m/2 which is at rest. The collision is head on, and elastic. The ratio of the de-Broglie wavelengths $${\lambda _A}$$ to $${\lambda _B}$$ after the collision is:

In the given circuit, the current in each resistance is:
