33. There is a rectangular plate of mass M kg of dimensions (a × b). The plate
is held in horizontal position by striking n small balls each of mass m per
unit area per unit time. These are striking in the shaded half region of the a
plate. The balls are colliding elastically with velocity v. What is v?
It is given n = 100, M = 3 kg, m = 0.01 kg; b = 2 m; a = 1m; g = 10 m/s2.

34. In an insulated vessel, 0.05 kg steam at 373 K and 0.45 kg of ice at 253 K are mixed. Then, find the final
temperature of the mixture.
Given, Lfusion = 80 cal/g = 336 J/g, Lvaporization = 540 cal/g = 2268 J/g,
Sice = 2100 J/kg K = 0.5 cal/gK and Swater = 4200 J/kg K = 1 cal /gK
Sol. ∑∆Q = 0
Heat lost by steam to convert into 0°C water
HL = 0.05 × 540 + 0.05 × 10 ×1
= 27 + 5 = 32 kcal
Heat required by ice to change into 0°C water
1
Hg = 0.45 × × 20 + 0.45 × 80 = 4.5 + 36.00 = 40.5 kcal
2
Thus, final temperature of mixture is 0°C.

36. A circular disc with a groove along its diameter is placed horizontally. A
block of mass 1 kg is placed as shown. The co-efficient of friction 2
a = 25 m/s
between the block and all surfaces of groove in contact is µ = 2/5. The
