Consider two uniform discs of the same thickness and different radii R₁ = R and
R₂ = $$\alpha $$R made of the same material. If the ratio of their moments of inertia I₁ and I₂ , respectively, about their axes is I₁ : I₂ = 1 : 16 then the value of $$\alpha $$ is :

Four resistances 40 $$\Omega $$, 60 $$\Omega $$, 90 $$\Omega $$ and 110 $$\Omega $$ make the arms of a quadrilateral ABCD. Across AC is a battery of emf 40 V and internal resistance negligible.The potential difference across BD in V is _______.

Two identical cylindrical vessels are kept on the ground and each contain the same liquid of density d. The area of the base of both vessels is S but the height of liquid in one vessel is x₁ and in the other, x₂ . When both cylinders are connected through a pipe of negligible volume very close to the bottom, the liquid flows from one vessel to the other until it comes to equilibrium at a new height. The change in energy of the system in the process is:
