Figure. shows a cylindrical tube of radius 5cm and length 20cm. It is closed by a tight-fitting cork. The friction coefficient between the cork and the tube is 0.20. The tube contains an ideal gas at a pressure of 1 atm and a temperature of 300K. The tube is slowly heated and it is found that the cork pops out when the temperature reaches 600K Let dN denote the magnitude of the normal contact force exerted by a small length dl of the cork along the periphery (see the figure). Assuming that the temperature of the gas is uniform at any instant, calculate $\frac{\text{dN}}{\text{dl}}.$

A bullet of mass $20g$ travelling horizontally with a speed of $500m/s$ passes through a wooden block of mass $10.0kg$ initially at rest on a level surface. The bullet emerges with a speed of $100m/s$ and the block slides $20cm$ on the surface before coming to rest. Find the friction coefficient between the block and the surface.
Write the dimensions and derived units in M.K.S. unit system of the following quantities :

  1. It is known that density r of air decreases with height y as $\rho_0\text{e}^{-\frac{\text{y}}{\text{y}_0}}$ where $\rho=1.25\text{kg m}^{-3}$ is the density at sea level, and $y_0$ is a constant. This density variation is called the law of atmospheres. Obtain this law assuming that the temperature of atmosphere remains a constant (isothermal conditions). Also assume that the value of g remains constant.
