Two identical charged conducting spheres A and B have their centres separated by a certain distance. Charge on each sphere is q and the force of repulsion between them is F. A third identical uncharged conducting sphere is brought in contact with sphere A first and then with B and finally removed from both. New … Read more

Two identical point masses P and Q, suspended from two separate massless springs of spring constants $k_{1}$ and $k_{2}$, respectively, oscillate vertically. If their maximum speeds are the same, the ratio $(A_{Q}/A_{P})$ of the amplitude $A_{Q}$ of mass Q to the amplitude $A_{P}$ of mass P is

A container has two chambers of volumes $V_{1}=2$ litres and $V_{2}=3$ litres separated by a partition made of a thermal insulator. The chambers contain $n_{1}=5$ and $n_{2}=4$ moles of ideal gas at pressures $p_{1}=1$ atm and $p_{2}=2$ atm, respectively. When the partition is removed, the mixture attains an equilibrium pressure of
