A source of sound $S$ is moving with a velocity $50 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ towards a stationary observer. The observer measures the frequency of the source as $1000 \mathrm{~Hz}$. What will be the apparent frequency of the source when it is moving away from the observer after crossing him ? The velocity of sound in the medium is $350 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$

A silver and a copper voltmeters are connected in parallel across a 6 volt battery of negligible resistance. $ln$ half an hour, $1 gm$ of copper and $2 gm$ of silver are deposited.

Two metallic spheres $S_1$ and $S_2$ are made of the same material and have identical surface finish. The mass of $S_1$ is three times that of $S_2$. Both the spheres are heated to the same high temperature and placed in the same room having lower temperature but are thermally insulated from each other. The ratio of the initial rate of cooling of $S_1$ to that of $S_2$ is
