Numerical
Two vectors $\vec{A}$ and $\vec{B}$ are defined as $\vec{A} = a\hat{i}$ and $\vec{B} = a(\cos\omega t\hat{i} + \sin\omega t\hat{j})$ , where a is a constant and $\omega = \pi/6$ rad s $^{-1}$ . If $|\vec{A} + \vec{B}| = \sqrt{3}|\vec{A} - \vec{B}|$ at time $t = \tau$ for the first time, the value of $\tau$ , in seconds, is ____.
Correct Answer: 2
Explanation:
Ans. (2 [1.99, 2.01])
$\left| \vec {A} + \vec {B} \right| = 2 a \cos {\frac {\omega t}{2}}$
$\left| \vec {A} - \vec {B} \right| = 2 a \sin {\frac {\omega t}{2}}$
So, $2a\cos \frac{\omega t}{2} = \sqrt{3}\left(2a\sin \frac{\omega t}{2}\right)$
$\tan {\frac {\omega t}{2}} = \frac {1}{\sqrt {3}}$

${\frac {\omega t}{2}} = {\frac {\pi}{6}}, {\frac {7 \pi}{6}}, {\frac {1 3 \pi}{6}} \dots$
$t = 2, 1 4, 2 6 \dots \qquad \left(\because \omega = \frac {\pi}{6}\right)$
So, the given condition occurs for the first time at t = 2 seconds.
$\left| \vec {A} + \vec {B} \right| = 2 a \cos {\frac {\omega t}{2}}$
$\left| \vec {A} - \vec {B} \right| = 2 a \sin {\frac {\omega t}{2}}$
So, $2a\cos \frac{\omega t}{2} = \sqrt{3}\left(2a\sin \frac{\omega t}{2}\right)$
$\tan {\frac {\omega t}{2}} = \frac {1}{\sqrt {3}}$

${\frac {\omega t}{2}} = {\frac {\pi}{6}}, {\frac {7 \pi}{6}}, {\frac {1 3 \pi}{6}} \dots$
$t = 2, 1 4, 2 6 \dots \qquad \left(\because \omega = \frac {\pi}{6}\right)$

Numerical
To find the distance d over which a signal can be seen clearly in foggy conditions, a railways engineer uses dimensional analysis and assumes that the distance depends on the mass density $\rho$ of the fog, intensity (power/area) S of the light from the signal and its frequency f. The engineer finds that d is proportional to $S^{1/n}$ . The value of n is.
Correct Answer: 3
Explanation:
Ans. (3)
$[ d ] = (S) ^ {x} (\rho) ^ {y} (f) ^ {z}$
$L = (M ^ {1} L ^ {0} T ^ {- 3}) ^ {x} (M ^ {1} L ^ {- 3}) ^ {y} (T ^ {- 1}) ^ {z}$
$L = M ^ {x + y} L ^ {- 3 y} T ^ {- 3 x - z}$
$- 3 y = 1 \qquad x + y = 0$
3 x + z = 0
$y = - \frac {1}{3} x - \frac {1}{3} = 0$
z = - 3 x
$x = \frac {1}{3}$
z = - 1
$L = (S)^{1 / 3}(\rho)^{-1 / 3}(f)^{-1}$
n = 3
