In series combination, Δl=ℓ1+ℓ2
Y=Δℓ/ℓF/A⇒Δℓ=AYFℓ
⇒Δℓ∝Yℓ
Equivalent length of rod after joining is =2ℓ
As, lengths are same and force is also same in series
Δℓ=Δℓ1+Δℓ2
Yeqℓeq=Y1ℓ+Y2ℓ⇒Y2ℓ=Y1ℓ+Y2ℓ
∴Y=Y1+Y22Y1Y2
Two wires of same length and radius are joined end to end and loaded. The Young's moduli of the materials of the two wires are Y1 and Y2. The combination behaves as a single wire then its Young's modulus is:

Net gravitational force at the center of a square is found to be $F_{1}$ when four particles having mass $M, 2 M, 3 M$ and $4 M$ are placed at the four corners of the square as shown in figure and it is $F_{2}$ when the positions of $3 M$ and $4 M$ are interchanged. The ratio $\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}$ is $\frac{\alpha}{\sqrt{5}}$. The value of $\alpha$ is $\_\_\_\_$. 
A particle of mass 2 kg is projected vertically upward with a speed of 30 m/s. The maximum height reached by the particle is (g = 10 m/s²):
Two projectiles are projected with the same initial velocities at the $15^\circ$ and $30^\circ$ with respect to the horizontal. The ratio of their ranges is $1:x$. The value of $x$ is:
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 :
The surface tension of a soap solution is $3.5 \times 10^{-2}$ N/m. The work required to increase the radius of a soap bubble from $1$ cm to $2$ cm is $\alpha \times 10^{-6}$ J. The value of $\alpha$ is _____. ($\pi = 22/7$)
