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 uniform cylindrical rod of length L and radius r, is made from a material whose Young’s modulus of Elasticity equals Y. When this rod is heated by temperature T and simultaneously subjected to a net longitudinal compressional force F, its length remains unchanged. The coefficient of volume expansion, of the material of the rod, is (nearly) equal to :

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)

Consider the LR circuit shown in the figure. If the switch S is closed at t = 0 then the amount of charge that passes through the battery between t = 0 and t = $${L \over R}$$ is :
