Question
Starting from rest, an object rolls down along an incline that rises by $3$ units in every $5$ units (along it). The object gains a speed of $\sqrt{10} m / s$ as it travels a distance of $\frac{5}{3} m$ along the incline. What can be the possible shape/s of the object?
 

Answer

Data $: \sin \theta=\frac{3}{5}, u =0, v =\sqrt{10} m / s , L =\frac{5}{3} m , g =10 m / s ^2$
$v=\sqrt{\frac{2 g L \sin \theta}{1+\left(k^2 / R^2\right)}}=\sqrt{\frac{2 g L \sin \theta}{1+\beta}}$
$\therefore v^2=\frac{2 g L \sin \theta}{1+\beta}$
$\therefore 1+\beta=\frac{2 g L \sin \theta}{v^2}=\frac{2(10)\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)}{(\sqrt{10})^2}=2$
$\therefore \beta=\frac{k^2}{R^2}=1$
Therefore, the body rolling down is either a ring or a cylindrical shell.

A wooden block of mass m is kept on a piston that can perform vertical vibrations of adjustable frequency and amplitude. During vibrations, we don’t want the block to leave the contact with the piston. How much maximum frequency is possible if the amplitude of vibrations is restricted to $25\ cm$? In this case, how much is the energy per unit mass of the block? $(g ≈ \pi ^2 ≈ 10 m s^{-2})$
 
In a double-slit experiment, the optical path difference between the waves coming from two coherent sources at a point $P$ on one side of the central bright band is $7.5 \times 10^6 m$ and that at a point $Q$ on the other side of the central bright band is $1.8 \times 10^6 m$. How many bright and dark bands are observed between points $P$ and $Q$ if the wavelength of light used is $6 \times$ $10^7 m$ ?
