In the following cases, find out the
acceleration of the wedge and the block,
if an external force F is applied as
shown. (Both pulleys and strings are
ideal)
A person observes the angle of elevation
of the peak of a hill from a station to be
α. He walks c metres along a slope
inclined at the angle β and finds the
angle of elevation of the peak of the
hill to be γ. Show that the height of the
peak above the ground is
((c sin α sin (γ − β))/((sin γ − α))).
A person in lift is holding a water jar,
which has a small hole at the lower end
of its side. When the lift is at rest, the
water jet coming out of the hole hits
the floor of the lift at a distance d of
1.2 m from the person. In the following,
state of the lift′s motion is given in List
I and the distance where the water jet
hits the floor of the lift is given in List
II. Match the statements from List I
with those in List II.
List I
P. Lift is accelerating vertically up
Q. Lift is accelerating vertically down
with an acceleration less than the
gravitational acceleration
R. Lift is moving vertically up with
constant speed
S. Lift is falling freely
List II
1. d = 1.2 m
2. d > 1.2 m
3. d < 1.2 m
4. No water leaks out of the jar
In rectangle ABCD,AB=8,
BC=20.P is a point on AD so
that ∠BPC=90°.If r_1 ,r_2 ,r_3 are the
radii of the incircles of APB,
BPC, and CPD. find r_1 +r_2 +r_3
An aeroplane has to go from a point A
to point B, 500 km away due 30° east
of north. A wind is blowing due north
at a speed of 20 ms^(−1) . The air speed of
the plane is 150 ms^(−1) . Find the direction
in which the pilot should head the
plane to reach point B.
Three vectors A^(→) , B^(→) and C^(→) add up to
zero. Find which is false.
(a) (A^(→) ×B^(→) )×C^(→) is not zero unless B^(→) , C^(→)
are parallel
(b) (A^(→) ×B^(→) )∙C^(→) is not zero unless B^(→) , C^(→)
are parallel
(c) If A^(→) , B^(→) , C^(→) define a plane, (A^(→) ×B^(→) ×C^(→) )
is in that plane
(d) (A^(→) ×B^(→) ).C^(→) = ∣A^(→) ∣∣B^(→) ∣∣C^(→) ∣ → C^2 = A^2 + B^2
If α and β are the roots of equation
x^2 + px + q = 0 and α^2 , β^2 are roots of
the equation x^2 − rx + s = 0, show
that the equation x^2 − 4qx + 2q^2 − r = 0
has real roots.
A circle is inscribed in an
isosceles trapezium. Prove that
the ratio of the area of the circle
to the area of the trapezium is
equal to the ratio of the circum-
ference of the circle to the
perimeter of the trapezium.
