A 6.5m long ladder rests against a vertical wall reaching a height of 6.0m. A 60kg man stands half way up the ladder.
- Find the torque of the force exerted by the man on the ladder about the upper end of the ladder.

An ideal gas is kept in a long cylindrical vessel fitted with a frictionless piston of cross-sectional area $10cm^2$ and weight $1kg$ (figure.) The vessel itself is kept in a big chamber containing air at atmospheric pressure $100kPa$. The length of the gas column is $20cm$. If the chamber is now completely evacuated by an exhaust pump, what will be the length of the gas column? Assume the temperature to remain constant throughout the process.

An object of mass m is raised from the surface of the earth to a height equal to the radius of the earth, that is, taken from a distance R to 2R from the centre of the earth. What is the gain in its potential energy?
Consider a one-dimensional motion of a particle with total energy E. There are four regions A, B, C and D in which the relation between potential energy V, kinetic energy (K) and total energy E is as given below: Region A : V > E Region B : V < E Region C : K > E Region D : V > K State with reason in each case whether a particle can be found in the given region or not.
