- A cylindrical vessel of height \(500 \mathrm{~mm}\) has an orifice (small hole) at its bottom. The orifice is initially closed and water is filled in it upto height \(H\). Now the top is completely sealed with a cap and the orifice at the bottom is opened. Some water comes out from the orifice and the water level in the vessel becomes steady with height of water column being 200 \(\mathrm{mm}\). Find the fall in height (in \(\mathrm{mm}\) ) of water level due to opening of the orifice.

Two trains \(A\) and \(B\) are moving with speeds \(20 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) and \(30 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\), respectively in the same direction on the same straight track, with \(B\) ahead of \(A\). The engines are at the front ends. The engine of train \(A\) blows a long whistle.
Assume that the sound of the whistle is composed of components varying in frequency from \(f_1=800 \mathrm{~Hz}\) to \(f_2=1120 \mathrm{~Hz}\), as shown in the figure. The spread in the frequency (highest frequency - lowest frequency) is thus \(320 \mathrm{~Hz}\). The speed of sound in still air is \(340 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\).

- A pendulum consists of a bob of mass \(m=0.1 \mathrm{~kg}\) and a massless inextensible string of length \(L=1.0 \mathrm{~m}\). It is suspended from a fixed point at height \(H=0.9 \mathrm{~m}\) above a frictionless horizontal floor. Initially, the bob of the pendulum is lying on the floor at rest vertically below the point of suspension. A horizontal impulse \(P=0.2 \mathrm{~kg}-\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) is imparted to the bob at some instant. After the bob slides for some distance, the string becomes taut and the bob lifts off the floor. The magnitude of the angular momentum of the pendulum about the point of suspension just before the bob lifts off is \(J \mathrm{~kg}-\mathrm{m}^{2} / \mathrm{s}\). The kinetic energy of the pendulum just after the liftoff is \(K\) Joules.
