A bob of heavy mass \(m\) is suspended by a light string of length \(l\). The bob is given a horizontal velocity \(v_0\) as shown in figure. If the string gets slack at some point P making an angle \( \theta \) from the horizontal, the ratio of the speed \(v\) of the bob at point P to its initial speed \(v_0\) is :

- An oxygen cylinder of volume 30 litre has 18.20 moles of oxygen. After some oxygen is withdrawn from the cylinder, its gauge pressure drops to 11 atmospheric pressure at temperature \(27^\circ\)C. The mass of the oxygen withdrawn from the cylinder is nearly equal to: [Given, \(R = \frac{100}{12} \text{ J mol}^{-1} \text{K}^{-1}\), and molecular mass of \(O_2 = 32 \text{ g/mol}\), 1 atm pressure = \(1.01 \times 10^5 \text{ N/m}^2\)]

Concepts Used:
Anatomy of Dicotyledonous and Monocotyledonous Plants
Dicot Root:
- Dicot plants have the taproot system.
- The outermost layer is called the epidermis. The epidermal cells sometimes project out which appear as the root hairs.
- The epidermis is followed by the multi-layered cortex, loosely made of the parenchyma cells with intercellular spaces.
- The inner layer of the cortex is called endodermis, which is tightly packed by the barrel shaped-cells.
- Endodermis is followed by pericycle, which are a few layers of thick-walled parenchyma cells.
- In dicots, the central pith is not distinct.
- There are two to four xylem and phloem.
- The xylem and phloem are remarked by a layer of parenchymatous cells known as conjunctive tissue.
Monocot Root:
Monocot roots do not show much difference in the anatomy from that of the dicot roots.
- Monocot plants possess an adventitious root system.
- As in the dicots, the epidermis forms the outermost layer, followed by cortex, pericycle, endodermis, vascular bundles (xylem and phloem) and pith (random order).
- Pith is conspicuous and large.
- The number of xylem in a monocot is six or more.
- Secondary growth is not seen in the monocot plants.
