A tuning fork of frequency 480 Hz is used in an experiment for measuring speed of sound (v) in air by resonance tube method. Resonance is observed to occur at two successive lengths of the air column, l₁ = 30 cm and l₂ = 70 cm. Then, v is equal to -

A moving coil galvanometer, having a resistance G, produces full scale deflection when a current Ig flows through it. This galvanometer can be converted into (i) an ammeter of range 0 to I₀(I₀ > I_g) by connecting a shunt resistance R_A to it and (ii) into a voltmeter of range 0 to V (V = GI₀) by connecting a series resistance R_V to it. Then,

A solid sphere, of radius R acquires a terminal velocity v₁ when falling (due to gravity) through a viscous fluid having a coefficient of viscosity . The sphere is broken into 27 identical solid spheres. If each of these spheres acquires a terminal velocity, v₂, when falling through the same fluid, the ratio (v₁/v₂) equals :

A block of mass 5 kg is (i) pushed in case (A) and (ii) pulled in case (B), by a force F = 20 N, making an angle of 30^o with the horizontal, as shown in the figures. The coefficient of friction between the block and floor is $$\mu $$ = 0.2. The difference between the accelerations of the blocks, in case (B) and case (A) will be : (g = 10 ms^–2)
