Question
Airplanes $A$ and $B$ are flying with constant velocity in the same vertical plane at angles $30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$ with respect to the horizontal respectively as shown in figure . The speed of $A$ is $100 \sqrt{3} ms ^{-1}$. At time $t=0$, an observer in A finds $B$ at a distance of $500 \ m$. This observer sees $B$ moving with a constant velocity perpendicular to the line of motion of $A$. If at $t = t _0$, $A$ just escapes being hit by $B , t _0$ in seconds is:

Answer

For relative motion perpendicular to line of motion of $A$ $A$

$V_A=100 \sqrt{3}=V_B \operatorname{Cos} 30^{\circ} $

$\Rightarrow \quad V_B=100 m / s $

$t_0=\frac{50}{V_B \sin 30^{\circ}}=\frac{500}{200 \times \frac{1}{2}}=5 sec \text { Ans. }$

Two rods of different materials having coefficients of linear expansion ${\alpha _1},\,{\alpha _2}$ and Young's moduli ${Y_1}$ and ${Y_2}$ respectively are fixed between two rigid massive walls. The rods are heated such that they undergo the same increase in temperature. There is no bending of rods. If ${\alpha _1}:{\alpha _2} = 2:3$, the thermal stresses developed in the two rods are equally provided ${Y_1}:{Y_2}$ is equal to
