3. A 3 kW electric kettle is filled with 1.6 kg of water at 20?C. a) Calculate the least possible time for the water to be brought to the boil. b) If the kettle requires 0.5 kg of water to cover the heating element, calculate the minimum time it would then take to boil away enough water at 100?C to expose the element to air.

moment of inertia of a equilateral triangle about an axis passing through centre and perppendicular to the plane

. Because of the rotation of the earth, a plumb bob may not hang exactly along the direction ofthe earth’s gravitational pull (its weight) but deviates slightly from this direction. Calculate thedeviation (a) at 40 latitude, (b) at the poles, and (c) at the equator

The length of a massless rod is measured using vernier callipers having 10 vernier scale divisions and least count of 0.1 mm. Two masses 1.00 ± 0.01 kg and 4.00 ± 0.02 kg are attached to its ends. If reading of vernier scale is 5 divisions coinciding with 1.3 cm, what is the % error in locating centre of mass from lighter mass
