3. tan  =  tan  =

4. tan  = tan  + tan   tan  + tan  = tan 60  tan  + tan  = 3

5. Initially, at t = 0 , all the particles are equidistant from each other. Let at time t the particle
A goes to A’, B goes to B’ and C goes to C’

6. Let T be the tension in the string then
For body A : F = T +  mg
For body B : T =  mg +  ( m + M ) g  F =  ( 3m + M ) g
7. mg sin  − ma0 cos  = ma  a = g sin  − a0 cos 

8. Let this force displace the particle through

r
d r = $idx + $
jdy
ur r
Then, dW = F .d r
 dW = 2dx + 3dy ….. (1)
Further, we are given that work done by this force equals zero when the particle is moved
along the line 3 y + kdx = 5
 3dy + kdx = 0 …… (2)
From (1) and (2) k =2
9. By law of conservation of Mechanical Energy.

Velocity of Recede = 2v =

10. Since no extreme force is acting on the system and the system is initially at rest, hence the
centre of mass of system remains fixed.
Initial position of centre of mass w.r.t O is
4ML + M ( L + 5R )
( rcm )inital = = L+R …… (1)
4M + M
Final position of centre of mass when inner sphere reaches other extreme position is
4ML '+ M ( L '− 5R )
( rcm )inital = = L '− R …… (2)
4M + M
Since ( rcm )inital = ( rcm ) final
 L + R = L '− R  L ' = L + 2R
Whereas by symmetry y co-ordinate remains zero

56. Electron affinity is the energy change, when an electron is added. When O − changes into
O 2 − the electron affinity is positive i.e., change is endotherim. The reason is that O − reples
the incoming electron due to similar charge, hence,it needs energy to accept the electron.
Hence electron affinity is positive.
