Thank you for your reply..
This is where I'm stuck.. how did you get 61cos18??
cos18=h/61.ok just see at first when the pendulum didnot swing the initail height was 18.but when it started swinging it gain an height and u need to find the difference in height.hope i made u clear

Q 25.) A lift is supported by two cables, each of length 10m and diameter o.5cm. The lift drops 1mm when a man of mass 80kg steps into the lift. What is the best estimate of the value of the Young Modulus of steel?
The answer is C which is 2x10^11...
Please can u explain how to arrive at the answer.
same problem here

Please can u explain how to arrive at the answer.
see first off all when the lift moves 1mm down each of the steel cable expand with an extention of 1mm.
-the downward force by man is (80)(9.81)=784.8N
-this is the sum of the force applied to those 2 steel cables
- as both have the same dimention they will experience the same force
- 2f=784.8 where f is the force experienced by one steel cable
-f=392.4
-young modulus=fl/eA
-A=pi(0.25x10^-2)2=1.96x10^-5 m
-lenth is given
-extension is given convert it to metre
-plugin in the point youll get the answer.

u need to find the squares that how much it lags behind t1
so phase difference is 60.so apply the formulae 60/360=t/30.then u will get the number of squares it is lagging and the amplitude is same

Thank you for your help.
I still don't get the solution.. in the formula 60/360 = t/30, where did you get the 30 from? Please elaborate..

Sorry for bothering you.. waiting for your reply!

Phi=t/T*360
Phi is a greek letter for phase differnce in angles or radians

A stationary thoron nucleus (A=200,Z=90)emits an alpha particle with kinetic energy Ealpha(Ea).which is the Kinetic Energy of the recoiling nucleus?
A: Ea/108
B: Ea/110
C: Ea/54
D: Ea/55
E: Ea
Please can anyone solve this?:)

thoron's mass is 220 u can check that in internet i bet that there is some mistake in this question maybe some priting mistake.
mass is inversely proporntional to k.e

mass k.e
4 Ea
216 x
x= (Ea*4)/216
x=Ea/54
