A bob of heavy mass $m$ is suspended by a light string of length $/$. The bob is given a horizontal velocity $v_0$ as shown in figure. If the string gets slack at some point $P$ making an angle $\theta$ from the horizontal, the ratio of the speed $v$ of the bob at point $P$ to its initial speed $v_0$ is:

A physical quantity $P$ is related to four observations $a, b, c$ and $d$ as follows:

$$P=a^3 b^2 / c \sqrt{d}$$

The percentage errors of measurement in $a, b, c$ and $d$ are $1 \%, 3 \%, 2 \%$, and $4 \%$ respectively. The percentage error in the quantity $P$ is

The Sun rotates around its centre once in 27 days. What will be the period of revolution if the Sun were to expand to twice its present radius without any external influence? Assume the Sun to be a sphere of uniform density.

The radius of Martian orbit around the Sun is about 4 times the radius of the orbit of Mercury. The Martian year is 687 Earth days. Then which of the following is the length of 1 year on Mercury?
