A cricket ball thrown across a field is at heights h₁ and h₂ from the point of projection at times t₁ and t₂ respectively after the throw. The ball is caught by a fielder at the same height as that of projection. The time of flight of the hall in this journey is

A wooden block is floating on water kept in a beaker. 40% of the block is above the water surface. Now the beaker is kept inside a lift that starts going upward with acceleration equal to g/2. The block will then

• sink

• float with 10% above the water surface

• float with 40% above the water surface

• float with 70% above the water surface

A smooth massless string passes over a smooth fixed pulley. Two masses m₁ and m₂, (m₁ > m₂) are tied at the two ends of the string. The masses are allowed to move under gravity starting from rest. The total external force acting on the two masses is

• (m₁ + m₂) g

• $\frac{{\left({\mathrm{m}}_1 - {\mathrm{m}}_2\right)}^2}{{\mathrm{m}}_1 + {\mathrm{m}}_2} \mathrm{g}$

• (m₁ − m₂) g

• $\frac{{\left({\mathrm{m}}_1 + {\mathrm{m}}_2\right)}^2}{{\mathrm{m}}_1 - {\mathrm{m}}_2} \mathrm{g}$

To determine the coefficient of friction between a rough surface and a block, the surface is kept inclined at 45° and the block is released from rest. The block takes a time t in moving a distance d. The rough surface is then replaced by a smooth surface and the same experiment is repeated. The block now takes a time t/2 in moving down the same distance d. The coefficient of friction is

• 3/4

• 5/4

• 1/2

• $1/\sqrt{2}$

A particle is moving uniformly in a circular path of radius r. When it moves through an angular displacement θ, then the magnitude of the corresponding linear displacement will be

• $2\mathrm{r} \cos \left(\frac{\mathrm{\theta }}{2}\right)$

• $2\mathrm{r} \cot \left(\frac{\mathrm{\theta }}{2}\right)$

• $2\mathrm{r} \tan \left(\frac{\mathrm{\theta }}{2}\right)$

• $2\mathrm{r} \sin \left(\frac{\mathrm{\theta }}{2}\right)$

A uniform rod is suspended horizontally from its mid- point. A piece of metal whose weight is w is suspended at a distance l from the mid-point. Another weight w₁ is suspended on the other side at a distance l₁ from the mid-point to bring the rod to a horizontal position. When w is completely immersed in water, w₁ needs to be kept at a distance l₁ from the mid-point to get the rod back into horizontal position. The specific gravity of the metal piece is

• $\frac{\mathrm{w}}{{\mathrm{w}}_1}$

• $\frac{{\mathrm{wl}}_1}{\mathrm{wl} - {\mathrm{w}}_1{\mathrm{l}}_2}$
