A particle moving in a circle of radius $R$ with a uniform speed takes a time $T$ to complete one revolution. If this particle were projected with the same speed at an angle ' $\theta$ ' to the horizontal, the maximum height attained by it equals $4 \mathrm{R}$. The angle of projection, $\theta$, is then given by
A ring of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is rotating with angular speed $\omega$ about a fixed vertical axis passing through its centre $O$ with two point masses each of mass $\frac{ M }{8}$ at rest at $O$. These masses can move radially outwards along two massless rods fixed on the ring as shown in the figure. At some instant the angular speed of the system is $\frac{8}{9} \omega$ and one of the masses is at a distance of $\frac{3}{5} R$ from $O$. At this instant the distance of the other mass from $O$ is
A block of mass $2 M$ is attached to a massless spring with spring-constant $k$. This block is connected to two other blocks of masses $M$ and $2 M$ using two massless pulleys and strings. The accelerations of the blocks are $a_1, a_2$ and $a_3$ as shown in figure. The system is released from rest with the spring in its unstretched state. The maximum extension of the spring is $x _0$.

Experimentally it is found that $12.8\,eV$ energy is required to separate a hydrogen atom into a proton and an electron. So the orbital radius of the electron in a hydrogen atom is $\frac{9}{ x } \times 10^{-10}\,m$. The value of the $x$ is $\left(1\,eV =1.6 \times 10^{-19}\,J , \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0}=9 \times 10^9\,Nm ^2 / C ^2\right.$ and electronic charge $=1.6 \times 10^{-19}\,J\,C$ )
