JEE Main 2019 — Physics Mechanics
A vertical closed cylinder is separated into two parts by a frictionless piston of mass m and of negligible thickness. The piston is free to move along the length of the cylinder. The length of the cylinder above piston is l1, and that below the piston is l2, such that l1>l2. Each part of the cylinder contains n moles of an ideal gas at equal temperature T. If the piston is stationary, its mass m will be given by:
(R is universal gas constant and g is the acceleration due to gravity)

Two masses $m$ and 2 m are connected by a light string going over a pulley (disc) of mass 30 m with radius $r=0.1 \mathrm{~m}$. The pulley is mounted in a vertical plane and it is free to rotate about its axis. The 2 m mass is released from rest and its speed when it has descended through a height of 3.6 m is $\_\_\_\_$ $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$. (Assume string does not slip and $\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$)
When both jaws of vernier callipers touch each other, zero mark of the vernier scale is right to zero mark of main scale, $4^{\text {th }}$ mark on vernier scale coincides with certain mark on the main scale. While measuring the length of a cylinder, observer observes 15 divisions on main scale and $5^{\text {th }}$ division of vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. Measured length of cylinder is $\_\_\_\_$ mm. (Least count of Vernier calliper $=0.1 \mathrm{~mm}$)
In an experiment the values of two spring constants were measured as $k_{1}=(10 \pm 0.2) \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}$ and $k_{2}=(20 \pm 0.3) \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}$. If these springs are connected in parallel, then the percentage error in equivalent spring constant is :
A river of width 200 m is flowing from west to east with a speed of $18 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}$. A boat, moving with speed of $36 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}$ in still water, is made to travel one-round trip (bank to bank of the river). Minimum time taken by the boat for this journey and also the displacement along the river bank are $\_\_\_\_$ and $\_\_\_\_$ respectively.
A $0.5$ kg mass is in contact against the inner wall of a cylindrical drum of radius $4$ m rotating about its vertical axis. The minimum rotational speed of the drum to enable the mass to remain stuck to the wall (without falling) is $5$ rad/s. The coefficient of friction between the drum's inner wall surface and mass is _______. (Take $g = 10$ m/s$^2$)
