S=212gT2=4gT2...(i)
On rough incline
a=gsin30∘−μgcos30∘
by S=ut+21at2
S=41g(1−3μ)(αT)2...(ii)
By (i) and (ii)
41gT2=41g(1−3μ)α2T2
⇒1−3μ=α21⇒μ=(α2α2−1)31
⇒x=3.00
When a body slides down from rest along a smooth inclined plane making an angle of 30∘ with the horizontal, it takes time T. When the same body slides down from the rest along a rough inclined plane making the same angle and through the same distance, it takes time αT, where α is a constant greater than 1. The co-efficient of friction between the body and the rough plane is x1(α2α2−1) where x=__________.

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 _____. ($\pi = 22/7$)
