$A$ body is projected with a speed $u \ m/s$ at an angle $\beta$ with the horizontal. The kinetic energy at the highest point is $\frac{3}{4}$ of the initial kinetic energy. The value of $\beta$ is $....^{\circ}$

For an ellipse with eccentricity $e = \frac{1}{2}$,the centre is at the origin. If one directrix is $x = 4$,then the equation of the ellipse is:

$A$ $U$-tube has a left limb with a cross-sectional area that is one-quarter of the right limb. The tube contains mercury (density $13.6 \ g/cm^3$). The level of mercury in the narrow left limb is at a distance of $36 \ cm$ from the upper end of the tube. What will be the rise in the level of mercury in the right limb if the left limb is filled to the top with water (in $cm$)? (Density of water = $1 \ g/cm^3$)

The dispersive powers of the materials of two lenses forming an achromatic combination are in the ratio of $4: 3$. If the effective focal length of the two lenses is $+60 ~cm$,then the focal lengths of the lenses should be:

The reaction $2A_{(g)} + B_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 3C_{(g)} + D_{(g)}$ is begun with the concentrations of $A$ and $B$ both at an initial value of $1.00 \ M$. When equilibrium is reached,the concentration of $D$ is measured and found to be $0.25 \ M$. The value for the equilibrium constant for this reaction is given by the expression
