During corrosion, a metal will
- be oxidised
- lose electrons
- be reduced
- (A) and (B)
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
During corrosion, a metal undergoes oxidation, which means it loses electrons. So both statements (1) and (2) are true.

The figure shows a rod PQ, hinged at P, rotating counter-clockwise with a uniform angular speed of 15 rad/s. A block R translates along a slot cut out in rod PQ. At the instant shown the distance \( PR = 0.5 \, {m} \) and \( \theta = 60^\circ \). The relative velocity of R with respect to the rod PQ is 5 m/s at the instant shown. The relative acceleration of R with respect to the rod PQ is zero at the instant shown.
Which one of the following is the CORRECT magnitude of the absolute acceleration (in m/s\(^2\)) of block R?
Consider two blocks, P of mass 100 kg and Q of mass 150 kg, resting as shown in the figure. The angle \( \theta = 30^\circ \). The coefficient of friction between the two blocks is 0.2.

Which one of the following options is closest to the CORRECT magnitude of \( W \) (in N)?
