Paragraph:
Consider an evacuated cylindrical chamber of height \(h\) having rigid conducting plates at the ends and an insulating curved surface as shown in the figure. A number of spherical balls made of a light weight and soft material and coated with a conducting material are placed on the bottom plate. The balls have a radius \(r \ll h\). Now a high voltage source \((HV)\) is connected across the conducting plates such that the bottom plate is at \(+V_{0}\) and the top plate at \(-V_{0} .\) Due to their conducting surface, the balls will get charged, will become equipotential with the plate and are repelled by it. The balls will eventually collide with the top plate, where the coefficient of restitution can be taken to be zero due to the soft nature of the material of the balls. The electric field in the chamber can be considered to be that of a parallel plate capacitor. Assume that there are no collisions between the balls and the interaction between them is negligible.

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.

- The center of a disk of radius \(r\) and mass \(m\) is attached to a spring of spring constant \(k\), inside a ring of radius \(R>r\) as shown in the figure. The other end of the spring is attached on the periphery of the ring. Both the ring and the disk are in the same vertical plane. The disk can only roll along the inside periphery of the ring, without slipping. The spring can only be stretched or compressed along the periphery of the ring, following the Hooke's law. In equilibrium, the disk is at the bottom of the ring. Assuming small displacement of the disc, the time period of oscillation of center of mass of the disk is written as \(T=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}\). The correct expression for \(\omega\) is ( \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity):
