The distance of the point $(1, 1, 9)$ from the point of intersection of the line $\frac{x-3}{1} = \frac{y-4}{2} = \frac{z-5}{2}$ and the plane $x+y+z=17$ is

The process of nitrogen fixation by $Rhizobium$ is stimulated by the presence of which of the following?

$A$ force $F = -K(y\hat{i} + x\hat{j})$ (where $K$ is a positive constant) acts on a particle moving in the $xy$-plane. Starting from the origin,the particle is taken along the positive $x$-axis to the point $(a, 0)$ and then parallel to the $y$-axis to the point $(a, a)$. The total work done by the force $F$ on the particle is:

$A$ mixture of plane polarised and unpolarised light falls normally on a polarizing sheet. On rotating the polarizing sheet about the direction of the incident beam,the transmitted intensity varies by a factor of $4$. Find the ratio of the intensities $I_P$ and $I_0$,respectively of the polarized and unpolarized components in the incident beam.

If $a \cos^3 \alpha + 3a \cos \alpha \sin^2 \alpha = m$ and $a \sin^3 \alpha + 3a \cos^2 \alpha \sin \alpha = n$,then $(m + n)^{2/3} + (m - n)^{2/3}$ is equal to
