Mass $M$ is divided into two parts $xM$ and $(1-x)M$. For a given separation,the value of $x$ for which the gravitational attraction between the two pieces becomes maximum is

In an industrial process,$10\, kg$ of water per hour is to be heated from $20^\circ C$ to $80^\circ C$. To do this,steam at $200^\circ C$ is passed from a boiler into a copper coil immersed in water. The steam condenses in the coil and is returned to the boiler as water at $90^\circ C$. How many $kg$ of steam is required per hour? (Specific heat of steam $= 0.5\, cal/g^\circ C$,Latent heat of vaporisation $= 540\, cal/g$,Specific heat of water $= 1\, cal/g^\circ C$)

Which bond angle $\theta$ gives maximum dipole moment for a triatomic molecule $XY_2$?

An insulated cylindrical vessel is fitted with an insulated piston of negligible weight and negligible thickness at the midpoint of the vessel. The cylinder contains a gas at $0^{\circ} C$. When the gas is heated to $100^{\circ} C$,the piston moves through a length of $5 ~cm$. The total length of the cylindrical vessel in $cm$ is:

The vector sum of two forces is perpendicular to their vector difference. In that case,the forces
