A rectangular vessel when full of water takes 10 min to be emptied through an orifice in its bottom. How much time will it take to be emptied, when half filled with water?

A steel ring of radius r and cross-sectional area A is fitted on to a wooden disc of radius R (R > r). If Young's modulus be Y, then the force with which the steel ring is expanded, is

A simple spring has length L and force constant k. It is cut into two springs of lengths \( l_1 \) and \( l_2 \) such that \( l_1 = n l_2 \) (n = an integer). The force constant of spring of length \( l_1 \) is:

A spring of force constant \(k\) is cut into two pieces such that one piece is double the length of other. Then, the long piece will have a force constant of:
