MCQ
A train moves from one station to another in $2$ hours time. Its speed-time graph during this motion is shown in the figure. The maximum acceleration during the journey is.............$km\, h^{-2}$
- A$140$
- ✓$160$
- C$100$
- D$120$
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
$160$
b
(b) Maximum acceleration will be represented by $CD$ part of the graph
(b) Maximum acceleration will be represented by $CD$ part of the graph
Acceleration $ = \frac{{dv}}{{dt}} = \frac{{(60 - 20)}}{{0.25}} = 160\;km/{h^2}$

If two glass plates have water between them and are separated by very small distance ( see figure), it is very difficult to pull them apart. It is because the water in between forms cylindrical surface on the side that gives rise to lower pressure in the water in comparison to atmosphere. If the radius of the cylindrical surface is $R$ and surface tension of water is $T$ then the pressure in water between the plates is lower by
