A ball is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity of $$19.6 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$$ from the top of a tower. The ball strikes the ground after $$6 \mathrm{~s}$$. The height from the ground up to which the ball can rise will be $$\left(\frac{k}{5}\right) \mathrm{m}$$. The value of $$\mathrm{k}$$ is __________. (use $$\mathrm{g}=9.8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$$)

The distance of centre of mass from end A of a one dimensional rod (AB) having mass density $$\rho=\rho_{0}\left(1-\frac{x^{2}}{L^{2}}\right) \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}$$ and length L (in meter) is $$\frac{3 L}{\alpha} \mathrm{m}$$. The value of $$\alpha$$ is ___________. (where x is the distance from end A)

A string of area of cross-section $$4 \mathrm{~mm}^{2}$$ and length $$0.5 \mathrm{~m}$$ is connected with a rigid body of mass $$2 \mathrm{~kg}$$. The body is rotated in a vertical circular path of radius $$0.5 \mathrm{~m}$$. The body acquires a speed of $$5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$$ at the bottom of the circular path. Strain produced in the string when the body is at the bottom of the circle is _________ $$ \times 10^{-5}$$.

(use Young's modulus $$10^{11} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^{2}$$ and $$\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$$)
