IMPORTANT

A metallic wire of density d floats horizontally in water. The maximum radius of the wire such that it may not sink will be (surface tension of water =T) (Neglect buoyant force)

HARD
IMPORTANT

A wire is bend at an angle θ. A rod of mass m can slide along the bended wire without friction as shown in figure. If a soap film is maintained in the frame and frame is kept in a vertical position and rod is in equilibrium. If rod is displaced slightly in vertical direction. The time period of small oscillation is aπblg sec. where a and b are constant number then a+b is
