$A$ particle moves in a plane along an elliptic path given by $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$. At point $(0, b)$,the $x$-component of velocity is $u$. The $y$-component of acceleration at this point is

  • A
    $-b u^2 / a^2$
  • B
    $-u^2 / b$
  • C
    $-a u^2 / b^2$
  • D
    $-u^2 / a$

$A$ rod $P$ of length $1 \ m$ is hinged at one end $A$ and there is a ring attached to the other end by a light inextensible thread. Another long rod $Q$ is hinged at $B$ and it passes through the ring. The rod $P$ is rotated about an axis which is perpendicular to the plane in which both the rods are present and the variation between the angles $\theta$ and $\phi$ is plotted as shown. The distance between the hinges $A$ and $B$ is ........ $m$.
