A screw gauge gives the following reading when used to measure the diameter of a wire. Main scale reading : 0 mm
Circular scale reading: 52 division
Given that 1 mm on the main scale corresponds to 100 divisions of the circular scale. The diameter of wire from the above data is
0.052 cm
0.026 cm

A thin horizontal circular disc is rotating about a vertical axis passing through its centre. An insect is at rest at a point near the rim of the disc. The insect now moves along a diameter of the disc to reach its other end. During the journey of the insect, the angular speed of the disc

Two identical charged spheres suspended from a common point by two massless strings of length l are initially a distance d(d < < l) apart because of their mutual repulsion. The charge begins to leak from both the spheres at a constant rate.As a result the charges approach each other with a velocity v. Then as a function of distance x between them
v ∝ x-1
v ∝ x1/2
v ∝ x
v ∝ x
An object moving with a speed of 6.25m/s, is decelerated at a rate given by dv/dt =- 2.5√v, where v is the instantaneous speed. The time taken by the object, to come to rest, would be

A pulley of radius 2m is rotated about its axis by a force F = (20t - 5t2) Newton (where t is measured in seconds) applied tangentially. If the moment of inertia of the pulley about its axis of rotation is 10 kg-m2, the number of rotations made by the pulley before its direction of motion if reversed is
