From the above diagram, the equations are,
OA=R[cos30∘i^+sin30∘j^]
OB=R[cos60∘i^−sin60∘j^]
OC=R[−cos45∘i^+sin45∘j^]
⇒OA+OB−OC=R[21+23+21]i^+R[21−23−21]j^, angle with the x−axis.
⇒tanα=21+23+2121−23−21=1+3+21−3−2
⇒α=tan−1[1+3+21−3−2].
The magnitude of vectors OA, OB and OC in the given figure are equal. The direction of OA+ OB- OC with x-axis will be:

When a part of a straight capillary tube is placed vertically in a liquid, the liquid raises upto certain height $h$. If the inner radius of the capillary tube, density of the liquid and surface tension of the liquid decrease by $1 \%$ each, then the height of the liquid in the tube will change by $\%$.
The velocity of a particle is given as $\vec{v} = -x\hat{i} + 2y\hat{j} - z\hat{k}$ m/s. The magnitude of acceleration at point $(1, 2, 4)$ is _______ m/s$^2$.
Suppose there is a uniform circular disc of mass $M \mathrm{~kg}$ and radius $r \mathrm{~m}$ shown in figure. The shaded regions are cut out from the disc. The moment of inertia of the remainder about the axis $A$ of the disc is given by $\frac{x}{256} M r^{2}$. The value of $x$ is $\_\_\_\_$.
