F1 and F2 at θ1
Fnet1=P2+Q2+P2+Q2+2(P2+Q2)cosθ1
Fnet2=P2+Q2+P2+Q2+2(P2+Q2)cosθ2
If Fnet1=3(P2+Q2)=2(P2+Q2)+2(P2+Q2)cosθ1
⇒cosθ1=2(P2+Q2)P2+Q2
⇒θ1=60∘
Fnet2=2(P2+Q2)=2(P2+Q2)+2(P2+Q2)cosθ2
⇒cosθ2=0⇒θ2=90∘
Statement-I : Two forces (P+Q) and (P−Q) where P⊥Q, when act at an angle θ1 each other, the magnitude of their resultant is 3(P2+Q2), when they act at an angle θ2, the magnitude of their resultant becomes 2(P2+Q2). This is possible only when θ1<θ2.
Statement-II : In the situation given above.
θ1=60∘ and θ2=90∘

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 $\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$)
