Two narrow cylindrical pipes A and B have the same length. Pipe A is open at both ends and is filled
with a monoatomic gas of molar mass MA. Pipe B is open at one end and closed at the other end,
and is filled with a diatomic gas of molar mass MB. Both gases are at the same temperature. If the
frequency of the second harmonic of the fundamental mode in pipe A is equal to the frequency of the
third harmonic of the fundamental mode in pipe B, determine the value of M A M B .

4 identical balls of radius R and mass m are lying in a gravity free

space. The balls are in contact and there centres are forming
vertices of a square of side 2R in horizontal plane. One identical ball
travelling vertically with a speed v hits the four balls symmetrically.
The collision is perfectly elastic. The centre of the 4 stationary ball

Three particles A, B and C, each of mass m, are connected to each other

by three massless rigid rods to form a rigid, equilateral triangular body of
side . This body is placed on a horizontal frictionless table (x-y plane)

the vertical axis through A (see figure). The body is set into rotational
