A thin uniform cylindrical shell, closed at both ends, is partially filled with water. It is floating vertically in water in half-submerged state. If \(\rho_{c}\) is the relative density of the material of the shell with respect to water, then the correct statement is that the shell is

A wire, which passes through the hole in a small bead, is bent in the form of quarter of a circle. The wire is fixed vertically on ground as shown in the figure. The bead is released from near the top of the wire and it slides along the wire without friction. As the bead moves from A to B, the force it applies on the wire is

An \(\alpha\)-particle and a proton are accelerated from rest by a potential difference of \(100 \mathrm{~V}\). After this, their de Broglie wavelengths are \(\lambda_\alpha\) and \(\lambda_p\) respectively. The ratio \(\frac{\lambda_p}{\lambda_\alpha}\), to the nearest integer, is

An ideal gas is undergoing a cyclic thermodynamic process in different ways as shown in the corresponding P-V diagrams in column 3 of the table. Consider only the path from state 1 to state 2. W denotes the corresponding work done on the system. The equations and plots in the table have standard notations as used in thermodynamic process. Here $\gamma$ is the ratio of heat capacities at constant pressure and constant volume. The number of moles in the gas in n.

Which one of the following options correctly represents a thermodynamic process that is used as a correction in the determination of the speed of sound in ideal gas?

Consider regular polygons with number of sides $n=\mathrm{3,4},5\dots$ as shown in the figure. The center of mass of all the polygons is at height $h$ from the ground. They roll on a horizontal surface about the leading vertex without slipping and sliding as depicted. The maximum increase in height of the locus of the center of mass for each polygon is $\mathrm{\Delta }$ . Then, $\mathrm{\Delta }$ depends on $n$ and $h$ as

A nuclear power plant supplying electrical power to a village uses a radioactive material of half life $\mathrm{T}$ years as the fuel. The amount of fuel at the beginning is such that the total power requirement of the village is 12.5% of the electrical power available from the plant at that time. If the plant is able to meet the total power needs of the village for a maximum period of $\mathrm{n}\mathrm{T}$ years, then the value of $\mathrm{n}$ is

A monochromatic beam of light is incident at ${60}^{\mathrm{o}}$ on one face of an equilateral prism of refractive index $\mathrm{n}$ and emerges from the opposite face making an angle $\mathrm{\theta }\left(\mathrm{n}\right)$ with the normal (see the figure). For $\mathrm{n}=\sqrt{3}$ the value of $\mathrm{\theta }$ is ${60}^{\mathrm{o}}$ and $\frac{\mathrm{d}\mathrm{\theta }}{\mathrm{d}\mathrm{n}}=\mathrm{m}$ . The value of $\mathrm{m}\mathrm{}$ is

A cube of unit volume contains \(35 \times 10^7\) photons of frequency \(10^{15} \mathrm{~Hz}\). If the energy of all the photons is viewed as the average energy being contained in the electromagnetic waves within the same volume, then the amplitude of the magnetic field is \(\alpha \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{~T}\).

Concentration of ${\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4$ and ${\mathrm{Na}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4$ in a solution is $1\mathrm{M}$ and $1.8\times {10}^{-2}\mathrm{M}$, respectively. Molar solubility of ${\mathrm{PbSO}}_4$ in the same solution is $\mathrm{X}\times {10}^{-\mathrm{Y}}\mathrm{M}$ (expressed in scientific notation). The value of $\mathrm{Y}$ is

A circular coil of radius $R$ and $N$ turns has negligible resistance. As shown in the schematic figure, its two ends are connected to two wires and it is hanging by those wires with its plane being vertical. The wires are connected to a capacitor with charge $Q$ through a switch. The coil is in a horizontal uniform magnetic field $B_o$ parallel to the plane of the coil. When the switch is closed, the capacitor gets discharged through the coil in a very short time. By the time the capacitor is discharged fully, magnitude of the angular momentum gained by the coil will be (assume that the discharge time is so short that the coil has hardly rotated during this time)
