For work done to be minimum, I should be minimum

I = m1x2 + m2(L - x)2

∴ 2m1x + 0 + 2m2X - 2m2L = 0

Suppose the masses m1 and m2 are attached to the ends of a massless rod. C1 is the

Explanation:
Let the circular disc of radius a be made up of the circular section of radius b and

with O as origin. The centre of mass of the disc of radius a will be given by:
...(i)
m 1 x 1 +m 2 x 2
XCM =

while YCM and ZCM will be zero (as for all points on x-axis, y and z = 0)

18.
(c) Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
Explanation:
The torque or moment of force is the product of force and perpendicular distance from
the pivot. Thus, a longer arm will give more torque for small applying force and more
torque will help to open the screw easily. Thus, the assertion is correct but the reason is
incorrect.
19. (a) Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation
for assertion.
Explanation:
In the absence of external torque, the angular momentum of the system is conserved.
L = I ω =constant
Due to the flow of the river towards the equator, the sediments also move towards the
equator which in result increases the Moment of inertia I of the earth, thus decreasing
angular velocity w of the earth so that angular momentum remains constant.
As w = 2π

Hence when w decreases, then the time period (T) of rotation increases.
So the Reason explains the Assertion very well.

(c) C-C
Explanation:
As all the given molecules are bonded together through a single bond. And, more is the
bond order of a molecule more closely its atoms will be bonded together. As a result,
more strong will the bonding between its combining atoms.
Moreover, there will be the presence of a lone pair of electrons on fluorine, nitrogen,
and oxygen atoms. Hence, there will occur lone pair-lone pair repulsion between F-F, N-
N, and O-O molecules. Due to which there will occur an increase in its bond length and a
decrease in bond energy.
Therefore, only the C-C molecule will have high bond energy as there are no lone pairs
present on the carbon atom.

50. 41.104
Explanation:
The given data can be written as follows

ii. C2H2(g) + O2(g) → H2O(l) + 2CO2(g); ΔH = -310.6 kcal

5

iii. C2H2(g) + 3O2(g) → 2H2O(l) + 2CO2(g); ΔH = -337.2 kcal

The required thermochemical equation is
C2H2(g) + H2(g) → C2H4(g)
The required equation can be obtained by subtracting equation (iii) from the sum of
equations (i) and (ii), thus ΔH of the required equation can be calculated as below.
ΔH = [-68.3 + (-310.6)] - (-337.2)

= [-68.3 - 310.6] + 337.2

Explanation:
7x3 + Ax + B = 7 (x3 - 1) + Ax + (B + 7)
If x2 + x + 1 is a factor of 7x3 + Ax + B, then Ax + B + 7 = 0 for all x
