PART I 1. Two blocks of mass 2m and m are arranged as shown in the figure. The pulley is massless and a force F is applied horizontally. If a1 is the acceleration of m upwards & a is acceleration of 2m horizontally, then find the ratio of a1/a. (Assume all surfaces to be frictionless) A block of mass 2.0 kg is moving on a frictionless horizontal surface with a velocity of 1.0 m/s in the figure towards another block of equal mass kept at rest. The spring constant of the spring fixed at one end is 100 N/m. Find the maximum compression of the spring.

A metal piece of mass 160 g lies in equilibrium inside a glass of water as shown in the figure. The piece touches the bottom of the glass at a small number of points. If the density of the metal is 8000 kg/m 3, find the normal force exerted by the bottom of the glass on the metal piece. A car travelling at 60 km/h overtakes another car travelling at 42 km/h. Assuming each car to be 5.0 m long. Find the time taken during the overtake and the total road distance used for the overtake. Two very long, straight, parallel wires carry steady currents I and I respectively. The distance between the wires is d. At a certain instant of time a point charge q is at a point equidistant from the two wires, in the plane of the wires. Its instantaneous velocity v is perpendicular to the plane of wires. Find the magnitude of the force due to the magnetic field acting on the charge at this instant. Two particles X and Y having equal charges after being accelerated through the same potential difference enter a region of uniform magnetic field and describe circular paths of radii R1 and R2 respectively. What is the ratio of masses of X and Y. A block of wood weighing 71.2 N and of specific gravity 0.75 is tied by a string to the bottom of a tank of water in order to have the block totally immersed. What is the tension in the string? For the network shown in the figure find the effective resistance between point P and Q.

An electrical circuit is shown in the figure. Calculate the potential difference across the resistor of 400 ohm, as will be measured by the voltmeter V of resistance 400 ohm, either by applying Kirchhoffs rules or otherwise. In the shown figure AC and BD are straight wires and CED and AFB are semicircular wires with radii r and 4r respectively. The entire setup is lying in the same plane. If i is current entering at A what fraction of i will flow in the ACEDB such that resultant magnetic field at O is zero.
