The mass \(M\) shown in the figure oscillates in simple harmonic motion with amplitude \(A\). The amplitude of the point \(P\) is

- A \(\frac{k_a A}{k_2}\)
- B \(\frac{k_2 A}{k_1}\)
- C \(\frac{k_1 A}{k_1+k_2}\)
- D \(\frac{k_2 A}{k_1+k_2}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\frac{k_2 A}{k_1+k_2}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(x_1+x_2=A\) and \(k_1 x_1=k_2 x_2\) or \(\frac{x_1}{x_2}=\frac{k_2}{k_1}\)
Solving these equations, we get
\(
x_1=\left(\frac{k_2}{k_1+k_2}\right) A
\)
Solving these equations, we get
\(
x_1=\left(\frac{k_2}{k_1+k_2}\right) A
\)

- A soft plastic bottle, filled with water of density \(1 \mathrm{gm} / \mathrm{cc}\), carries an inverted glass test-tube with some air (ideal gas) trapped as shown in the figure. The test-tube has a mass of \(5 \mathrm{gm}\), and it is made of a thick glass of density \(2.5 \mathrm{gm} / \mathrm{cc}\). Initially the bottle is sealed at atmospheric pressure \(p_{0}=10^{5} \mathrm{~Pa}\) so that the volume of the trapped air is \(v_{0}=3.3 \mathrm{cc}\). When the bottle is squeezed from outside at constant temperature, the pressure inside rises and the volume of the trapped air reduces. It is found that the test tube begins to sink at pressure \(p_{0}+\Delta p\) without changing its orientation. At this pressure, the volume of the trapped air is \(v_{0}-\Delta v\).
Let \(\Delta v=X\) cc and \(\Delta p=Y \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~Pa}\).

When liquid medicine of density \(\rho\) is to be put in the eye, it is done with the help of a dropper. As the bulb on the top of the dropper is pressed, a drop forms at the opening of the dropper. We wish to estimate the size of the drop.
We first assume that the drop formed at the opening is spherical because that requires a minimum increase in its surface energy. To determine the size, we calculate the net vertical force due to the surface tension \(T\) when the radius of the drop is \(R\). When this force becomes smaller than the weight of the drop, the drop gets detached from the dropper.Question :
After the drop detaches, its surface energy isJEE Advanced 2010 Easy - Paragraph:
Modern trains are based on Maglev technology in which trains are magnetically leviated, which runs its EDS Maglev system.
There are coils on both sides of wheels. Due to motion of train, current induces in the coil of track which levitate it. This is in accordance with Lenz's law. If trains lower down then due to Lenz's law a repulsive force increases due to which train gets uplifted and if it goes much high then there is a net downward force disc to gravity. The advantage of Maglev train is that there is no friction between the train and the track, thereby reducing power consumption and enabling the train to attain very high speeds.
Disadvantage of Maglev train is that as it slows down the electromagnetic forces decreases and it becomes difficult to keep it leviated and as it moves forward according to Lenz law, there is an electromagnetic drag force.

The mass of a nucleus \({ }_{Z}^{A} X\) is less than the sum of the masses of \((A-Z)\) number of neutrons and \(Z\) number of protons in the nucleus. The energy equivalent to the corresponding mass difference is known as the binding energy of the nucleus. A heavy nucleus of mass \(M\) can break into two light nuclei of masses \(m_{1}\) and \(m_{2}\) only if \(\left(m_{1}+m_{2}\right) \lt M\). Also two light nuclei of masses \(m_{3}\) and \(m_{4}\) can undergo complete fusion and form a heavy nucleus of mass \(M^{\prime}\) only if \(\left(m_{3}+m_{4}\right) \gt M^{\prime}\). The masses of some neutral atoms are given in the table below:

A spray gun is shown in the figure where a piston pushes air out of a nozzle. A thin tube of uniform cross section is connected to the nozzle. The other end of the tube is in a small liquid container. As the piston pushes air through the nozzle, the liquid from the container rises into the nozzle and is sprayed out. For the spray gun shown, the radii of the piston and the nozzle are \(20 \mathrm{~mm}\) and \(1 \mathrm{~mm}\), respectively. The upper end of the container is open to the atmosphere.
