A stone tide to a spring of length L is whirled in a vertical circle with the other end of the spring at the centre. At a certain instant of time, the stone is at its lowest position and has a speed u. The magnitude of change in its velocity, as it reaches a position where the string is horizontal, is $$\sqrt {x({u^2} - gL)} $$. The value of x is -

Four spheres each of mass m from a square of side d (as shown in figure). A fifth sphere of mass M is situated at the centre of square. The total gravitational potential energy of the system is :

For a perfect gas, two pressures P₁ and P₂ are shown in figure. The graph shows :

According to kinetic theory of gases,

A. The motion of the gas molecules freezes at 0$$^\circ$$C.

B. The mean free path of gas molecules decreases if the density of molecules is increased.

C. The mean free path of gas molecules increases if temperature is increased keeping pressure constant.

D. Average kinetic energy per molecule per degree of freedom is $${3 \over 2}{k_B}T$$ (for monoatomic gases).
