The other end of the rope is fixed at point Q, at a height 𝐿 above the hinge at point O. A block of weight 𝛼𝑊 is attached at the point P of the beam, as shown in the figure (not to scale). The rope can sustain a maximum tension of (2√2)𝑊. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct?

A.The vertical component of reaction force at O does not depend on 𝛼
B.The horizontal component of reaction force at O is equal to 𝑊 for 𝛼= 0.5
C.The tension in the rope is 2𝑊 for 𝛼= 0.5
D.The rope breaks if 𝛼> 1.5

Q3Section 1 – Single Correct Answer

For a prism of prism angle 𝜃= 60°, the refractive indices of the left half and the right half are, respectively, 𝑛1 and 𝑛2 (𝑛2 ≥𝑛1) as shown in the figure. The angle of incidence 𝑖 is chosen such that the incident light rays will have minimum deviation if 𝑛1 = 𝑛2 = 𝑛= 1.5.

Q7Section 2 – One or More Correct

The value of 𝑋 is ___ .

Q8Section 2 – One or More Correct

The value of 𝑌 is ___. Question Stem for Question Nos. 9 and 10 Question Stem A pendulum consists of a bob of mass 𝑚= 0.1 kg and a massless inextensible string of length 𝐿= 1.0 m. It is suspended from a fixed point at height 𝐻= 0.9 m above a frictionless horizontal floor. Initially, the bob of the pendulum is lying on the floor at rest vertically below the point of suspension. A horizontal impulse 𝑃= 0.2 kg-m/s is imparted to the bob at some instant. After the bob slides for some distance, the string becomes taut and the bob lifts off the floor. The magnitude of the angular momentum of the pendulum about the point of suspension just before the bob lifts off is 𝐽 kg-m2/s. The kinetic energy of the pendulum just after the lift- off is 𝐾 Joules.

Q9Section 2 – One or More Correct

The value of 𝐽 is ___ .

Q10Section 2 – One or More Correct

The value of 𝐾 is ___. Question Stem for Question Nos. 11 and 12 Question Stem In a circuit, a metal filament lamp is connected in series with a capacitor of capacitance C 𝜇𝐹 across a 200 V, 50 Hz supply. The power consumed by the lamp is 500 W while the voltage drop across it is 100 V. Assume that there is no inductive load in the circuit. Take rms values of the voltages. The magnitude of the phase- angle (in degrees) between the current and the supply voltage is 𝜑. Assume, 𝜋√3 ≈5.
