Two vehicles, each moving with speed u on the same horizontal straight road, are approaching each other. Wind blows along the road with velocity w. One of these vehicles blows a whistle of frequency f1. An observer in the other vehicle hears the frequency of the whistle to be f2. The speed of sound in still air is V. The correct statement (s) is (are) :
- A If the wind blows from the observer to the source, f2 > f1.
- B If the wind blows from the source to the observer, f2 > f1.
- C If the wind blows from the observer to the source, f2 < f1.
- D If the wind blows from the source to the observer, f2 < f1.

- 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):

The key feature of Bohr's theory of spectrum of hydrogen atom is the quantization of angular momentum when an electron is revolving around a proton. We will extend this to a general rotational motion to find quantized rotational energy of a diatomic molecule assuming it to be rigid. The rule to be applied is Bohr's quantization condition.

A uniform thin cylindrical disk of mass \(M\) and radius \(R\) is attached to two identical massless springs of spring constant \(k\) which are fixed to the wall as shown in the figure. The springs are attached to the axle of the disk symmetrically on either side at a distance \(d\) from its centre. The axle is massless and both the springs and the axle are in a horizontal plane. The unstretched length of each spring is \(L\). The disk is initially at its equilibrium position with its centre of mass \((C M)\) at a distance Lfrom the wall. The disk rolls without slipping with velocity \(\mathbf{v}_0=v_0 \hat{\mathbf{i}}\) The coefficient of friction is \(\mu\).
