Instruction: Attempt all questions. It is not necessary to write every question on the answer sheet.
However, it is mandatory to write the question number.

Section - A (CLO-1)

1. Define the Standard Error and Probable Error. How they are related? (2)
2. How linear momentum is related to angular momentum? (2)
3. Discuss the types of damping with example. (3)
4. What is wave and how many types of waves are there? Discuss them with examples. (3)

Section - B (CLO-2)
5. A traffic light has a weight of 135N is hanging from a cable attached to two other cables fastened to
support as shown in the figure. The upper cable makes an angle of 37° and 53° with the horizontal.
The upper cables are not as strong as a vertical cable and will break if the tension is exceeded to 100
N. Find the tensions in the upper cable. (2)

6. If the scalar field is defined by φ = 2xz4 – x2y, find its gradient (∇ . φ) at point (2, -2, -1) (2)
7. Discuss and prove the equation of “Wave – Energy Theorem”. (2)
8. An object oscillates with simple harmonic motion along the x-axis, its position varies with time.
According to the equation. x(t) = 10 Cos(πt + π/6 ). The time is given in a sec and the angles are in
radian. (4)
a) Determine the amplitude, frequency, and time period of the motion.
b) Calculate the velocity and acceleration of the object at any time ‘t’.
c) Using the result of part ‘b’, find velocity and acceleration at t = 2 sec.
d) Draw the resultant waveforms of velocity and acceleration.
