In the adjoining figure, \(PQ \parallel XY \parallel BC\), \(AP=2\ \text{cm}, PX=1.5\ \text{cm}, BX=4\ \text{cm}\). If \(QY=0.75\ \text{cm}\), then \(AQ+CY =\)
In the adjoining figure, \( \triangle CAB \) is a right triangle, right angled at A and \( AD \perp BC \). Prove that \( \triangle ADB \sim \triangle CDA \). Further, if \( BC = 10 \text{ cm} \) and \( CD = 2 \text{ cm} \), find the length of } \( AD \).
If a line drawn parallel to one side of a triangle intersecting the other two sides in distinct points divides the two sides in the same ratio, then it is parallel to the third side. State and prove the converse of the above statement.
In the given figure, the blocks $A$, $B$ and $C$ weigh $4\,\text{kg}$, $6\,\text{kg}$ and $8\,\text{kg}$ respectively. The coefficient of sliding friction between any two surfaces is $0.5$. The force $\vec{F}$ required to slide the block $C$ with constant speed is ___ N.
(Given: $g = 10\,\text{m s}^{-2}$) 
Two circular discs of radius \(10\) cm each are joined at their centres by a rod, as shown in the figure. The length of the rod is \(30\) cm and its mass is \(600\) g. The mass of each disc is also \(600\) g. If the applied torque between the two discs is \(43\times10^{-7}\) dyne·cm, then the angular acceleration of the system about the given axis \(AB\) is ________ rad s\(^{-2}\).
