Time taken by rod to hit the ground = g2h=102×5=1s
Angle rotated by rod = ωt=0.5×1=0.5rad
A rectangular solid box of length 0.3m is held horizontally, with one of its sides on the edge of a platform of height 5m . When released, it slips off the table in a very short time τ=0.01s , remaining essentially horizontal. The angle by which it would rotate when it hits the ground will be (in radians) close to:

A string $A$ of length $0.314$ m and Young's modulus $2 \times 10^{10}$ N/m$^2$ is connected to another string $B$ of length and Young's modulus both twice of those of $A$. This series combination of strings is then suspended from a rigid support and its free end is fixed to a load of mass $0.8$ kg. The net change in length of the combination is _____ mm. (radius of both the strings is $0.2$ mm and acceleration due to gravity $= 10$ m/s$^2$) (Mass of both strings is to be neglected as compared to the mass of load)
A particle of mass $m$ falls from rest through a resistive medium having resistive force, $F=-k v$, where $v$ is the velocity of the particle and $k$ is a constant. Which of the following graphs represents velocity ($v$) versus time ($t$)?
A spring of force constant $15 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}$ is cut into two pieces. If the ratio of their length is $1: 3$, then the force constant of smaller piece is $\_\_\_\_$ $\mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}$.
Initially a satellite of 100 kg is in a circular orbit of radius $1.5 \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{E}}$. This satellite can be moved to a circular orbit of radius $3 R_{E}$ by supplying $\alpha \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~J}$ of energy. The value of $\alpha$ is $\_\_\_\_$. (Take Radius of Earth $R_{E}=6 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~m}$ and $\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$)
A liquid drop of diameter $2$ mm breaks into $512$ droplets. The change in surface energy is $\alpha \times 10^{-6}$ J. The value of $\alpha$ is _______. (Take surface tension of liquid $= 0.08$ N/m)
