$S_1$ and $S_2$ are two identical sound sources of frequency $656 \mathrm{Hz}$. The source $S_1$ is located at $O$ and $S_2$ moves anti-clockwise with a uniform speed $4\sqrt{2} \mathrm{m} {\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$ on a circular path around $O$, as shown in the figure. There are three points $P, Q$ and $R$ on this path such that $P$ and $R$ are diametrically opposite while $Q$ is equidistant from them. A sound detector is placed at point $P$. The source $S_1$ can move along direction $OP$.
[Given: The speed of sound in air is $324 \mathrm{m} {\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$]

When only $S_2$ is emitting sound and it is at $Q$, the frequency of sound measured by the detector in $\mathrm{Hz}$ is _____.

A wheel of radius R and mass M is placed at the bottom of a fixed step of height R as shown in the figure. A constant force is continuously applied on the surface of the wheel so that it just climbs the step without slipping. Consider the torque $\tau$ about an axis normal to the plane of the paper passing through the point Q. Which of the following options is/are correct?

Three identical capacitors $C_1,C_2\mathrm{a}\mathrm{n}\mathrm{d}{C}_3$ have a capacitance of $1.0\mu F$ each and they are uncharged initially. They are connected in a circuit as shown in the figure and $C_1$ is then filled completely with a dielectric material of relative permittivity ${ϵ}_r$ . The cell electromotive force (emf) $V_0=8V$ . First the switch $S_1$ is closed while the switch $S_2$ is kept open. When the capacitor $C_3$ is fully charged, $S_1$ is opened and $S_2$ is closed simultaneously. When all the capacitors reach equilibrium, the charge on $C_3$ is found to be $5\mu C$ . The value of ${ϵ}_r$ =____________.

Consider a Vernier callipers in which each 1 cm on the main scale is divided into 8 equal divisions and a screw gauge with 100 divisions on its circular scale. In the Vernier callipers, 5 divisions of the Vernier scale coincide with 4 divisions on the main scale and in the screw gauge, one complete rotation of the circular scale moves it by two divisions on the linear scale. Then:

A bob of mass $m$, suspended by a string of length $l_1$, is given a minimum velocity required to complete a full circle in the vertical plane. At the highest point, it collides elastically with another bob of mass $m$, suspended by a string of length $l_2$, which is initially at rest. Both the strings are mass-less and inextensible. If the second bob, after collision acquires the minimum speed required to complete a full circle in the vertical plane, the ratio $\frac{l_1}{l_2}$ is

A thin stiff insulated metal wire is bent into a circular loop with its two ends extending tangentially from the same point of the loop. The wire loop has mass \(m\) and radius \(r\) and it is in a uniform vertical magnetic field \(B_0\), as shown in the figure. Initially, it hangs vertically downwards, because of acceleration due to gravity \(g\), on two conducting supports at \(\mathrm{P}\) and \(\mathrm{Q}\). When a current \(I\) is passed through the loop, the loop turns about the line \(\mathrm{PQ}\) by an angle \(\theta\) given by
