The electrostatic energy of Z protons uniformly distributed throughout a spherical nucleus of radius R is given by
$$E = \frac{3}{5}\frac{Z(Z - 1)e^2}{4 \pi ε_0 R}$$
The measured masses of the neutron, $$^1_1H, ^{15}_7N$$ and $$^{15}_8O$$ are 1.008665 u, 1.007825 u, 15.000109 u and 15.003065 u,respectively. Given that the radii of both the $$^{15}_7N$$ and $$^{15}_8O$$ nuclei are same, $$1 u = 931.5 MeV/c^2$$ (c is the speed oflight) and $$\frac{e^2}{(4 \pi ε_0)} = 1.44 MeV fm$$. Assumingthat the difference between the binding energies of $$^{15}_7 N$$ and $$^{15}_8 O$$ is purely due to the electrostatic energy, the radius of either of the nuclei is$$(1 fm = 10^{-15}m)$$

An accident in a nuclear laboratory resulted in deposition of a certain amount of radioactive material of half-life 18 days inside the laboratory.

A gas is enclosed in a cylinder with a movable frictionless piston. Its initial thermodynamic state at pressure $$P_i = 10^5 Pa$$ and volume $$V_i = 10^{-3} m^3$$ changes to a final state at $$P_f = \left(\frac{1}{32}\right) \times 10^5 Pa$$ and $$V_f = 8 \times 10^{-3} m^3$$ in an adiabatic quasi-static process, such that $$P^3V^5$$ = constant. Consider another thermodynamic process that brings the system from the same initial state to the same final state in two steps: an isobaric expansion at $$P_i$$. followed by an isochoric (isovolumetric) process at volume $$V_f$$. The amount of heat supplied to the system in the two-step process is approximately

The ends Q and of two thin wires, PQ and RS, are soldered (joined) together. Initially each of the wires has a length of 1 m at $$10^\circ C$$. Now the end P is maintained at $$10^\circ C$$, while the end S is heated and maintained at $$400^\circ C$$. The system is thermally insulated from its surroundings. If the thermal conductivity of wire PQ is twice that of the wire RS and the coefficient of linear thermal expansion of PQ is $$1.2 \times 10^{-5}K^{-1}$$ the change in length of the wire PQ is

While conducting the Young’s double slit experiment, a student replaced the two slits with a large opaque plate in the x-y plane containing two small holes that act as two coherent point sources $$(S_1, S_2)$$ emitting light of wavelength 600 nm. The student mistakenly placed the screen parallel to the x-z plane (for z > 0) at a distance D = 3 m from the mid-point of S,S,, as shown schematically in the figure. The distance between the sources d = 0.6003 mm. The origin O is at the intersection of the screen and the line joining $$S_1, S_2$$.

A frame of reference that is accelerated with respect to an inertial frameof reference is called a non-inertial frame of reference. A coordinate system fixed on a circular disc rotating about a fixed axis with a constant angular velocity $$\omega$$ is an example of a non-inertial frame of reference. The relationship between the force $$\overrightarrow{F}_{rot}$$ experienced by a particle of mass m moving on the $$\overrightarrow{F}_{in}$$ experienced by the particle in an inertial frame of reference is
$$ \overrightarrow{F}_{rot} = \overrightarrow{F}_{in} + 2m(\overrightarrow{V}_{rot} \times \overrightarrow{\omega}) + m(\overrightarrow{\omega} \times \overrightarrow{r}) \times \overrightarrow{\omega}$$,
where $$\overrightarrow{v}_{rot}$$ is the velocity of the particle in the rotating frameof reference and $$\overrightarrow{r}$$. is the position vector of the particle with respect to the centre of the disc.
Now consider a smooth slot along a diameter of a disc of radius R rotating counter-clockwise with a constant angular speed $$\omega$$ about its vertical axis through its center. We assign a
coordinate system with the origin at the center of the disc, the x-axis along the slot, the y-axis perpendicular to the slot and the z-axis along the rotation axis $$(\overrightarrow{\omega} = \omega \hat{k})$$. A small block of mass m is gently placed in the slot at $$\overrightarrow{r} = \left(\frac{R}{2}\right)\hat{i}$$ at t = 0 and is constrained to move only along the slot.

The distance r of the block at time t is

Consider an evacuated cylindrical chamber of height h having rigid conducting plates at the ends and an insulating curved surface as shownin the figure. A number of spherical balls made
of a light weight and soft material and coated with a conducting material are placed on the bottom plate. The balls have a radius r<<h. Nowa high voltage source (HV) is connected across
the conducting plates such that the bottom plate is at $$+ V_0$$ and the top plate at $$- V_0$$. Due to their conducting surface, the balls will get charged, will become equipotential with the plate and are repelled by it. The balls will eventually collide with the top plate, where the coefficient of restitution can be taken to be zero due to the soft nature of the material of the balls. The electric field in the chamber can be considered to be that of a parallel plate capacitor. Assume that there are no collisions between the balls and the interaction between them is negligible.
