Given below is the plot of a potential energy function \(U(x)\) for a system, in which a particle is in one dimensional motion, while a conservative force \(F(x)\) acts on it. Suppose that \(E_{\text {mech }}=8\, {J}\), the incorrect statement for this system is:

- A at \(x=x_{3}\), \(K.E.=4\;J\)
- B at \(x=x_{2}\), \(K.E.\) is greatest and the particle is moving at the fastest speed.
- C at \(x\,<\,x_{1}\), \(K.E.\) is smallest and the particle is moving at the slowed speed.
- D at \(x\,>\,x_{4}\), \(K.E.\) is constant throughout the region.

- A beaker contains a fluid of density \(\rho \, kg / m^3\), specific heat \(S\, J / kg\,^oC\) and viscosity \(\eta \). The beaker is filled upto height \(h\). To estimate the rate of heat transfer per unit area \((Q / A)\) by convection when beaker is put on a hot plate, a student proposes that it should depend on \(\eta \,,\,\left( {\frac{{S\Delta \theta }}{h}} \right)\) and \(\left( {\frac{1}{{\rho g}}} \right)\) when \(\Delta \theta \) (in \(^oC\)) is the difference in the temperature between the bottom and top of the fluid. In that situation the correct option for \((Q / A)\) isJEE Mains 2015 Hard
