(b) Gas flows through the narrow end (nozzle) of a pipe. Under certain conditions, the mass m of
gas that flows through the nozzle in a short time t is given by
m
= kC P
t
where k is a constant with no units,
C is a quantity that depends on the nozzle size,
is the density of the gas arriving at the nozzle,
P is the pressure of the gas arriving at the nozzle.

(e) In practice, frictional effects are significant so that the actual increase in kinetic energy of the
ball in moving from A to B is 76 mJ. The length of the track between A and B is 0.60 m.
Use your answer in (a) to determine the average frictional force acting on the ball as it moves
from A to B.

The beam is of length 0.40 m and weight W. An empty bucket of weight 12 N is suspended
by a light metal wire from end C. The bar exerts a force on the beam of 33 N at 52 to the
horizontal. The beam is in equilibrium.
(i) Calculate the vertical component of the force exerted by the bar on the beam.
W = ...................................................... N [3]
(c) The metal of the wire in (b) has a Young modulus of 2.0 1011 Pa.
Initially the bucket is empty. When the bucket is filled with paint of weight 78 N, the strain of
the wire increases by 7.5 104. The wire obeys Hookes law.

(b) An arrangement for demonstrating the interference of light is shown in Fig. 4.1.
'
double slit screen
The wavelength of the light from the laser is 580 nm. The separation of the slits is 0.41 mm.
The perpendicular distance between the double slit and the screen is D.
Coherent light emerges from the slits and an interference pattern is observed on the screen.
The central bright fringe is produced at point X. The closest dark fringes to point X are
produced at points Y and Z. The distance XY is 2.0 mm.

(iv) The intensity of the light passing through the two slits was initially the same. The intensity
of the light through one of the slits is now reduced. Compare the appearance of the
fringes before and after the change of intensity.
