Let \(\beta\) be a real number Consider the
\(matrix\ A=\begin{pmatrix}\beta & 0 & 1 \\2 & 1 & -2 \\3 & 1 & -2\end{pmatrix}If A^7-(\beta-1) A^6-\beta A^5\) is a singular matrix, then the value of \(9 \beta\) is _____
Correct Answer: 3
Solution and Explanation
The given equation is:
\(|A|^5 |A^2 - (\beta - 1) A - \beta| = 0\)
From the equation, we know that if \( |A| \neq 0 \), we can simplify the equation to:
\(A^2 - (\beta - 1) A - \beta = 0\)
Now, factor the expression:
\(\Rightarrow |A + 1| |A - \beta| = 0\)
Since \( |A + 1| \neq 0 \) (we assume \( A \neq -1 \)), we get:
\(|A - \beta| = 0\)
This implies:
\(A = \beta\)
Now, solving for \( \beta \), we get:
\(\beta = \frac{1}{3} \Rightarrow 9\beta = 3\)
Thus, the value of \( \beta \) is \( \frac{1}{3} \), and \( 9\beta = 3 \).

- A single slit diffraction experiment is performed to determine the slit width using the equation, $ \dfrac{b d}{D} = m \lambda $, where $ b $ is the slit width, $ D $ the shortest distance between the slit and the screen, $ d $ the distance between the $ m^{\text{th}} $ diffraction maximum and the central maximum, and $ \lambda $ is the wavelength. $ D $ and $ d $ are measured with scales of least count of 1 cm and 1 mm, respectively. The values of $ \lambda $ and $ m $ are known precisely to be $ 600 \, \text{nm} $ and 3, respectively. The absolute error (in $ \mu\text{m} $) in the value of $ b $ estimated using the diffraction maximum that occurs for $ m = 3 $ with $ d = 5 \, \text{mm} $ and $ D = 1 \, \text{m} $ is ___.

The center of a disk of radius $ r $ and mass $ m $ is attached to a spring of spring constant $ k $, inside a ring of radius $ R>r $ as shown in the figure. The other end of the spring is attached on the periphery of the ring. Both the ring and the disk are in the same vertical plane. The disk can only roll along the inside periphery of the ring, without slipping. The spring can only be stretched or compressed along the periphery of the ring, following Hooke’s law. In equilibrium, the disk is at the bottom of the ring. Assuming small displacement of the disc, the time period of oscillation of center of mass of the disk is written as $ T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} $. The correct expression for $ \omega $ is ( $ g $ is the acceleration due to gravity):

Matrices
Matrix:
A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers, variables, symbols, or expressions that are defined for the operations like subtraction, addition, and multiplications. The size of a matrix is determined by the number of rows and columns in the matrix.
The basic operations that can be performed on matrices are:
- Addition of Matrices - The addition of matrices addition can only be possible if the number of rows and columns of both the matrices are the same.
- Subtraction of Matrices - Matrices subtraction is also possible only if the number of rows and columns of both the matrices are the same.
- Scalar Multiplication - The product of a matrix A with any number 'c' is obtained by multiplying every entry of the matrix A by c, is called scalar multiplication.
- Multiplication of Matrices - Matrices multiplication is defined only if the number of columns in the first matrix and rows in the second matrix are equal.
- Transpose of Matrices - Interchanging of rows and columns is known as the transpose of matrices.
