The moment of inertia of a semicircular ring about an axis, passing through the center and perpendicular to the plane of the ring, is \((\frac{1}{x})MR^2\), where R is the radius and M is the mass of the semicircular ring. The value of x will be:
Step 1: Formula for moment of inertia - Moment of inertia \[ I = R^2 \, dm \] where \[ dm = \frac{M}{\pi R}. \] For a semicircular ring, \[ I = \frac{1}{2} M R^2. \]
Step 2: Compare with given expression - Given \[ I = \frac{1}{x} M R^2. \] Equating \[ \frac{1}{2} M R^2 = \frac{1}{x} M R^2, \] we get \[ x = 2. \]
Final Answer: The value of x is 2.
A black body is at a temperature of 2880 K. The energy of radiation emitted by this body with wavelength between 499 nm and 500 nm is U1, between 999 nm and 1000 nm is U2 and between 1499 nm and 1500 nm is U3. The Wien's constant, b = 2.88×106 nm-K. Then,

Two inclined planes are placed as shown in figure. A block is projected from the point A of inclined plane AB along its surface with a velocity just sufficient to carry it to the top point B at a height 10 m. After reaching the point B the block sides down on inclined plane BC. Time it takes to reach to the point C from point A is t(√2 + 1) s. The value of t is ______.
(Use g = 10 m/s2)
