(d) Velocity of liquid through orifice, $v = \sqrt {2gy} $

and time taken by liquid to reach the ground

$t = \sqrt {\frac{{2(h + h - y)}}{g}} = \sqrt {\frac{{2(2h - y)}}{g}} $

$\therefore$ Horizontal distance covered by liquid

$x = v.t. = \sqrt {2gy} \times \sqrt {\frac{{2(2h - y)}}{g}} = \sqrt {4y(2h - y)} $

==> ${x^2} = 4y(2h - y)$

==> $\frac{{d{{(x)}^2}}}{{dy}} = 8h - 8y$

for $x$ to be maximum, $\frac{d}{{dy}}({x^2}) = 0$

$\therefore 8h - 8y = 0$ or $h = y$

So ${x_m} = \sqrt {4h(2h - h)} = 2h$

    A wide bottom cylindrical massless plastic container of height $9 \,cm$ has $40$ identical coins inside it and is floating on water with $3 \,cm$ inside the water. If we start putting more of such coins on its lid, it is observed that after $N$ coins are put, its equilibrium changes from stable to unstable. Equilibrium in floating is stable if the geometric centre of the submerged portion is above the centre of the mass of the object). The value of $N$ is closed to

    A tiny spherical oil drop carrying a net charge $q$ is balanced in still air with a vertical uniform electric field of strength $\frac{81 \pi}{7} \times 10^5 \mathrm{Vm}^{-1}$. When the field is switched off, the drop is observed to fall with terminal velocity $2 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$. Given $\mathrm{g}=9.8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}$, viscosity of the air $=1.8 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{Ns} \mathrm{m}^{-2}$ and the density of oil $=$ $900 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}$, the magnitude of $\mathrm{q}$ is
