Consider a water tank shown in the figure. It has one wall at \(x = L\) and can be taken to be very wide in the z direction. When filled with a liquid of surface tension \(S\) and density \( \rho \), the liquid surface makes angle \( \theta_0 \) (\( \theta_0 < < 1 \)) with the x-axis at \(x = L\). If \(y(x)\) is the height of the surface then the equation for \(y(x)\) is: (take \(g\) as the acceleration due to gravity)

- Two cities X and Y are connected by a regular bus service with a bus leaving in either direction every T min. A girl is driving scooty with a speed of 60 km/h in the direction X to Y. She notices that a bus goes past her every 30 minutes in the direction of her motion, and every 10 minutes in the opposite direction. Choose the correct option for the period T of the bus service and the speed (assumed constant) of the buses.

Population Interactions
Population interaction is generally between two different species populations.“Population interaction is the interaction between different populations. It refers to the effects that the organisms in a community have on one another.”
An ecosystem is a geographic area wherein plants, animals, and many other organisms, alongwith weather and landscape, work together to form a bubble of life.
Types of Population Interactions:
Interactions can be beneficial or neutral or detrimental. Accordingly, there are six types of population interaction.
The different ways populations interact with each other can be summarized under the following headings.
- Competition
- Predation
- Herbivory
- Mutualism
- Commensalism
- Parasitism
- Competition
