separated by a fixed distance a. The rod is initially placed at rest symmetrically as shown in Fig.1.
Assume that the rollers rotate in opposite directions as shown in fig.1. The coefficient of kinetic
friction between the rod and the rollers is µ. Now consider the case in which the direction of rotation
of the rollers are reversed, as shown in fig.2. (Assume x = x0 and v = 0 at t = 0 for both cases.)

3) In Fig. there are two long, coaxial cylindrical shells of length ℓ. The inner one has the radius a and
the electric charge +Q, uniformly distributed over its surface. The outer cylinder has the radius
b(b<< ℓ) and the electric charge –Q ,uniformly distributed over its surface. The cylinders are made
of the same material, having the mass per unit of area equal to σ . Coaxial with them there is a long
solenoid with the radius R(a < R < b) with n turns per unit length, and carrying and electric current
i. The solenoid is fixed, but the cylindrical shells can freely and independently rotate around their
common axis. Initially all the parts of this system are at rest.
(Note: The cylindrical shells are heavy enough to neglect any magnetic field due to their rotation!)
When current in solenoid is gradually reduced to zero. The cylinders begins to rotate.

1) An Ideal monatomic gas undergoes thermodynamic process (A → B), the graph of which depicted
on the p – V diagram in dimensionless coordinates (V/V0; p/p0). The work done by gas during this
0 0
process is xp V . Find x.
2) A screw gauge is used to measure the thickness of a thin sheet of copper. The pitch of screw
gauge is 0.2 mm and total number of division on circular scale is 200. When two jaws are brought in
contact then 160th division on circular scale is exactly coinciding with the main scale line, and that
the zero of main scale is not visible. When thickness of sheet is measured with screw gauge then
main scale reading is 0.6 mm and 100th division coincide with the main scale line. The thickness of
copper sheet is x × 10–5 m.
3) A rigid rectangular frame made of thin wire can move along a smooth horizontal surface to which
a thin, infinitely long straight wire is attached. The figure shows a top view of this system. Initially,
the currents in the wire and in the frame are zero. The frame is at rest in such a position that one of
its pairs of sides is parallel to the wire, and the distance between the wire and the side of the frame
closest to it is many times greater than the entire dimensions of the frame. The current in the wire is
increased to a certain maximum value so quickly that the displacement of the frame during the
increase in current can be neglected. Subsequently, the current in the wire is maintained constant.
It turned out that at the moment the current in the wire reaches its maximum value, the speed of the
frame was equal to v0. The inductance of the loop can be neglected, and its resistance can be
considered constant. The frame speed is v0/n after a very long time after the current in the wire
4) A closed organ pipe of length 99.4 cm is vibrating in its first overtone and is always in resonance
with a tuning fork having variable frequency f = (300 – 2t) Hz, where t is time in second. The rate by
which radius of organ pipe changes when its radius is 1 cm is 1/N m/s then find N. (speed of sound
in organ pipe = 320 m/s)
5) The distance between a screen and a light source lined up on an optical bench is 120 cm. When a
lens is moved along the line joining them, sharp images of the source can be obtained at two lens
positions; the size ratio of these two images is 1 : 9. Write value of 2 × focal length (in cm)
6) Boron atoms of mass number A = 10 and a beam of unidentified particles, moving in opposite
directions with the same (non-relativistic) speed, are made to collide inside an ion accelerator. The
maximum scattering angle of the boron atoms is found to be 30°. What is the atomic mass number of
ion. (Assume elastic collision)
