18. One end of light inelastic string is tied to a helium filled balloon and its other end is tied to bottom of a
water filled container at point O. The container lies on a fixed horizontal surface and is pulled
horizontally towards right with constant horizontal acceleration of magnitude a. Assuming no relative
motion of balloon and water with respect to container, the string will be inclined with vertical line passing
through O by an angle. (g is acceleration due to gravity)

20. To manufacture a polyethlene film a wide band is pulled over rollers at v = 15 m/s. During this process
the film's surface acquires a uniformly distibuted charge , mainly because of friction. An electric field of
strength 20 kV/cm can cause a discharge in air. Taking into account this fact, maximum possible
magnetic field's flux density B near the film's surface will be :
