The coefficient of cubical expansion of mercury is $$0.00018 /{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$$ and that of brass $$0.00006 /{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$$. If a barometer having a brass scale were to read $$74.5 \mathrm{~cm}$$ at $$30^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$$, find the true barometric height at $$0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$$. The scale is supposed to be correct at $$15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$$.

The particle of mass $$m$$ is moving in a circular path of constant radius $$r$$ such that its centripetal acceleration $$a_c$$ is varying with time $$t$$ as $$a_c=k^2 r t^2$$, where $$k$$ is a constant. The power delivered to particle by the forces acting on it is

A body of mass $$5 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~kg}$$ is launched upon a rough inclined plane making an angle of $$30^{\circ}$$ with the horizontal. Obtain the coefficient of friction between the body and the plane if the time of ascent is half of the time of descent.

A boy is pushing a ring of mass $$3 \mathrm{~kg}$$ and radius $$0.6 \mathrm{~m}$$ with a stick as shown in figure. The stick applies a force of $$3 \mathrm{~N}$$ on the ring and rolls it without slipping with an acceleration of 0.4 m/s$$^2$$. The coefficient of friction between the ground and the ring is large enough that rolling always occurs and the coefficient of friction between the stick and the ring is $$\frac{F}{10}$$. The value of $$F$$ is
