A particle of mass ' mmm ' is kept at rest at a height 3R3 R3R from the surface of earth, where ' RRR ' is radius of earth and ' MMM ' is mass of earth. The minimum speed with which is should be projected, so that it does not return back, is (g(g(g is acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth)

Consider a water tank shown in the figure. It has one wall at $x=L$ and can be taken to be very wide in the $z$ direction. When filled with a liquid of surface tension $S$ and density $\rho$, the liquid surface makes angle $\theta_0\left(\theta_0 \ll 1\right)$ with the $x$-axis at $x=L$. If $y(x)$ is the height of the surface then the equation for $y(x)$ is: ![NEET 2025 Physics, Mechanical Properties of Fluids — question figure](https://prepforbharat.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/exam/616059730283de43c87e3e22/Physics/images/Mechanical_Properties_of_Fluids/682c9a92c2281abe1696a0a1/question_1__q_682c9a92c2281abe1696a0a1__cdn-question-pool.getmarks.app__apNa77tO8zggC1qbUK0Cc-__LAswz6bHpIOciKbseBc.original.fullsiz__2ce9bc34e2_final_ppt_sync.png) $\left(\operatorname{take} \theta(x)=\sin \theta(x)=\tan \theta(x)=\frac{d y}{d x}, g\right.$ is the acceleration due to gravity)
