Question:
Inspector Shyam started from Police Station on inspection. After travelling straight for a distance of four (4) KM, he turned left for market and travelled straight 600 meters. He now turned left again and travelled straight for another 200 meters, and turned left and travelled straight for 600 meters. How far is Shyam from Police Station?

Show Hint
Track the path on a coordinate grid; the two 600 m legs cancel each other.

The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Take the Police Station as origin and let the first 4 km leg go North, to (0, 4000 m).
Turn left (West) and go 600 m: (-600, 4000).
Turn left (South) and go 200 m: (-600, 3800).
Turn left (East) and go 600 m: (0, 3800).
He is directly north of the station at 3800 m = 3.8 km.
Answer: (3) 3.8 Km
Turn left (West) and go 600 m: (-600, 4000).
Turn left (South) and go 200 m: (-600, 3800).
Turn left (East) and go 600 m: (0, 3800).
He is directly north of the station at 3800 m = 3.8 km.
Answer: (3) 3.8 Km

- Two masses $m$ and $\frac{m}{2}$ are connected at the two ends of a massless rigid rod of length $l$. The rod is suspended by a thin wire of torsional constant $k$ at the centre of mass of the rod-mass system(see figure). Because of torsional constant $k$, the restoring torque is $\tau =k\theta$ for angular displacement $\theta$. If the rod is rota ted by $\theta_0$ and released, the tension in it when it passes through its mean position will be:
