A uniform bean HK of length 10m and weighing 200N is supported at both ends as shown above. A man weighing 1000N stands at a point P on the beam. If the reactions at point H an K respectively are 800N and 400N, Then the distance HP is

Two closed vessels contain equal volumes of boiling water and are identical except that one is blackened on the outside while the other is polished. Which of the following is correct?

Fig 8 shows a current I flowing in a copper wire situated in a magnetic field existing between the pole-pieces of a horse-shoe magnet.
Which of the following statements is correct?

In a resonance tube experiment, which is illustrated above, the velocity of sound in air is 327.68m/s, the frequency of the turning fork used is therefore

An electrical circuit is connected up as shown above, which of the following is correct about the value of current flowing through the 1 ohm resistance?

fig 12 shows the velocity time graph of a car which starts from rest and is accelerated uniformly at the rate of 3m sec^-2 for 5 seconds. It attains a velocity which is maintained for a minute, The car is then brought to rest by a uniform retardation after another 3 seconds. calculate the total distance covered

fig 10 shows a see-saw which is perfectly in balance, the weighs of the people sitting on it are 50kg, xkg and 15kg as shown, the sit at distances of 1.5, 1.5 and 2m from the pivot respectively. The vale of X is

The diagram shows lens arrangement in

An air column 10cm in length is trapped into the sea end of a capillary tube by a 15cm column of mercury with the tube held vertically as shown above. On inverting the tube the air column becomes 15cm long. The atmospheric pressure during the experiment is

In a given circuit, the cell P has an emf 1.5V and an unknown internal resistance while cell Q has an emf 2.0V and an internal resistance of 1 ohm if the ammeter reads 50m A, Then r is equal to

A weight of 1000 grams hangs from a lever 20cm to the fulcrum. At the left is a 500-gram weight 20cm from the fulcrum, and a 200-gram weight x cm away from the fulcrum. What is the value of x that will make the lever balanced?
