A particle is moving with speed v = b$$\sqrt x $$ along positive x-axis. Calculate the speed of the particle at time t = $$\tau $$(assume that the particle is at origin t = 0)

A transparent cube of side, made of a material of refractive index $$\mu $$₂, is immersed in a liquid of refractive index $$\mu $$₁($$\mu $$₁ < $$\mu $$₂). A ray is incident on the face AB at an angle $$\theta $$(shown in the figure). Total internal reflection takes place at point E on the face BC.
Then $$\theta $$ must satisfy :

A Carnot engine has an efficiency of $${1 \over 6}$$. When the temperature of the sink is reduced by 62ºC, its efficiency is doubled. The temperatures of the source and the sink are, respectively

One kg of water, at 20^oC, heated in an electric kettle whose heating element has a mean (temperature averaged) resistance of 20 $$\Omega $$. The rms voltage in the mains is 200 V. Ignoring heat loss from the kettle, time taken for water to evaporate fully, is close to : [Specific heat of water = 4200 J/(kg ^oC), Latent heat of water = 2260 kJ/kg]
