$A$ metallic ring of radius $r$ and cross-sectional area $A$ is fitted into a wooden circular disc of radius $R$ $(R > r)$. If the Young's modulus of the material of the ring is $Y$,the force with which the metal ring expands is

Two metal plates each of area $A$ form a parallel plate capacitor with air in between the plates. The distance between the plates is $d$. $A$ metal plate of thickness $d/2$ and of same area $A$ is inserted between the plates to form two capacitors of capacitances $C_1$ and $C_2$ as shown in the figure. If the effective capacitance of the two capacitors is $C^{\prime}$ and the capacitance of the capacitor initially is $C$,then $C^{\prime}/C$ is

The length of the latus rectum of the parabola $y^2+8x-2y+17=0$ is

If $A = \begin{bmatrix} \alpha & 0 \\ 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ and $B = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 5 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$,then the value of $\alpha$ for which $A^2 = B$ is

Let $PQ$ and $RS$ be tangents at the extremities of the diameter $PR$ of a circle of radius $r$. If $PS$ and $RQ$ intersect at a point $X$ on the circumference of the circle,then $2r$ equals

Two wires $A$ and $B$ of the same material have radii in the ratio $2:1$ and lengths in the ratio $4:1$. The ratio of the normal forces required to produce the same change in the lengths of these two wires is
