We have, ICM=21MR2
Since AB is parallel to diameter and at a distance of 32R from it, using parallel axis theorem,
IAB=2mR2+m(32R)2=1817mR2
Thus, the ratio is
∴ICMIAB=21MR21817MR2=917
Thus, x=17
ICM is moment of inertia of a circular disc about an axis (CM) passing through its center and perpendicular to the plane of disc. IAB is its moment of inertia about an axis AB perpendicular to plane and parallel to axis CM at a distance 32R from center, where R is the radius of the disc. The ratio of IAB and ICM is x:9. The value of x 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 :
