INSTRUCTIONS
Each question is printed both in H indi and in En glish.
Answ ers mu st be writ ten in the m edium specified in the
Ad mission C ertificate issued to you, wh ich mu st be stated
clear ly on the cover of the answe r-book in the space
provided for the purpose. No m arks will be given for the
answ ers written in a m edium other than that specified in
the Adm ission Certificate.Can didates should attempt Question Nos. 1 and 5 whichare compulsory, and any three of the remaining questionsselecting at least one question from each Section.
The num ber of marks carried by each question is indicatedat the end o f the question.
Assume suitable data if considered necessary and indicate
the same clearly.Sym bols / nota tions carry thei r usual m eanings , unless
otherwise indicated.
Important Note Whenever a question is being attempted,all its parts/sub-parts must be attempted contiguously. Thism eans that before moving on to the next question to be
attempted, candidates m ust f inish at tempting a l l parts/
sub-parts of the previous question attempted. This is to bestrictly followed.
Pages left blank in the answer-book are to be clearly struckout in ink. Any answers that follow pages left blank may notbe given credit.

1. Answer all the five parts below : 2x5=60
(a) Two identical relativistic particles of restm ass m and kinet ic energy T collidehead -on. W hat is the relative kineticenergy, i.e., the kinetic energy T' of onein the rest fram e of the other?
(b) Define a conservative field. Determine ifthe field given below is conservative innature :
E = c[y 2 i + (2xy + z 2 ) 3+ 2yz1C] V/m
where c is a co nstant.
(c) Calculate the mo m ent of inertia of asolid cone of mass M, height h, verticalhalf-angle a and rad ius of its base R,about an axis passing through its vertexand parallel to its base.
(d) A resistance R and a lossless capacitor Care connected through a sw itch. Thecapacitor is charged to potential ;, andthe sw itch is closed at t = 0. Prove that
the energy stored in the capacitor isequ al to the energy dissipated in theresistor.
(e) A rigid body is spinning with an angularvelocity of 4rs about an axis parallel tothe direction (4 j- 3k) passing through
the point A with OA = 2i +33 - k, where0 is the origin of the coordinate system.Find the magnitude and direction of thelinear velocity of the bo dy at point P
with OP = 4i - 2 j + k.
