A steel wire having a radius of 2.0 mm, carrying a load of 4 kg, is hanging from a ceiling. Given that g = 3.1 p ms^–2, what will be the tensile stress that would be developed in the wire ?

For the circuit shown, with R₁ = 1.0W, R₂ = 2.0 W, E₁ = 2 V and E₂ = E₃ = 4 V, the potential difference between the points 'a' and 'b' is approximately (in V):

Ship A is sailing towards north-east with velocity $$\mathop v\limits^ \to = 30\mathop i\limits^ \wedge + 50\mathop j\limits^ \wedge $$ km/hr where $$\mathop i\limits^ \wedge $$ points east and $$\mathop j\limits^ \wedge $$ , north. Ship B is at a distance of 80 km east and 150 km north of Ship A and is sailing towards west at 10 km/hr. A will be at minimum distance from B in :

A thin circular plate of mass M and radius R has its density varying as $$\rho $$(r) = $$\rho $$₀r with $$\rho $$₀ as constant and r is the distance from its centre. The moment of Inertia of the circular plate about an axis perpendicular to the plate and passing through its edge is I = aMR². The value of the coefficient a is :
