Figure shows a smooth track which consists of a straight inclined part of length $1$ joining smoothly with the circular part. A particle of mass $m$ is projected up the incline from its bottom.
→- Find the minimum projection$-$speed $v_0$, for which the particle reaches the top of the track.
- Assuming that the projection$-$speed is $2v_0$ and that the block does not lose contact with the track before reaching its top, find the force acting on it when it reaches the top.
- Assuming that the projection$-$speed is only slightly greater than $v_0$, where will the block lose contact with the track?
An oxygen cylinder of volume 30 litres has an initial gauge pressure of 15 atm and a temperature of 27°C. After some oxygen is withdrawn from the cylinder, the gauge pressure drops to 11 atm and its temperature drops to 17°C. Estimate the mass of oxygen taken out of the cylinder ($R = 8.31J ~mol^{-1}K^{-1}$, molecular mass of $O_2 = 32u$).

→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 $\frac{\text{dN}}{\text{dl}}.$
