A small block starts slipping down from a point B on an inclined plane AB, which is making an angle $$\theta $$ with the horizontal section BC is smooth and the remaining section CA is rough with a coefficient of friction $$\mu $$. It is found that the block comes to rest as it reaches the bottom (point A) of the inclined plane. If BC = 2AC, the coefficient of friction is given by $$\mu $$ = ktan $$\theta $$ . The value of k is _________.

A beam of protons with speed 4 × 10⁵ ms^–1 enters a uniform magnetic field of 0.3 T at an angle of 60° to the magnetic field. The pitch of the resulting helical path of protons is close to :
(Mass of the proton = 1.67 $$ \times $$ 10^–27 kg, charge
of the proton = 1.69 $$ \times $$ 10^–19 C)
