A particle is projected in air at an angle $\beta$ to a surface which itself is inclined at an angle $\alpha$ to the horizontal (Fig.).
  1. Time of flight.
(Hint: This problem can be solved in two different ways:
  1. Point P at which particle hits the plane can be seen as intersection of its trajectory (parobola) and straight line. Remember particle is projected at an angle $(\alpha+\beta)$ w.r.t. horizontal.
  2. We can take x-direction along the plane and y-direction perpendicular to the plane. In that case resolve g (acceleration due to gravity) in two differrent components, $g_x$ along the plane and $g_y$ perpendicular to the plane. Now the problem can be solved as two independent motions in x and y directions respectively with time as a common parameter.)

A proton projected in a magnetic field of $0.020T$ travels along a helical path of radius $5.0cm$ and pitch $20cm$. Find the components of the velocity of the proton along and perpendicular to the magnetic field. Take the mass of the proton = $1.6 \times 10^{-27}kg$
A wire of length L and radius r is clamped rigidly at one end. When the other end of the wire is pulled by a force f, its length increases by l. Another wire of the same material of length 2L and radius 2r, is pulled by a force 2f. Find the increase in length of this wire.
The rear side of a truck is open and a box of $40kg$ mass is placed $5m$ away from the open end as shown in Fig. The coefficient of friction between the box and the surface below it is $0.15$. On a straight road, the truck starts from rest and accelerates with $2ms^{-2}$. At what distance from the starting point does the box fall off the truck? (Ignore the size of the box).
One end of a U-tube containing mercury is connected to a suction pump and the other end to atmosphere. A small pressure difference is maintained between the two columns. Show that, when the suction pump is removed, the column of mercury in the U-tube executes simple harmonic motion.
Two bodies of masses M, and M, are placed at a distance d apart. Show that at the position, where the gravitational field due to them is zero, the potential is given by $\text{v}=\frac{-\text{G}}{\text{d}}(\text{M}_1+\text{M}_2+2\sqrt{\text{M}_1\text{M}_2}).$
