3[log[x]] dx  =   I
Greatest Integer function can be defined as
f(x) = [x] = -1   for   x  belongs to [ -1, 0)
                  0   for   x belongs to [ 0,1)
                  1   for    x belongs to [ 1, 2)
Here '[' means closed interval and ')' means open interval thus
x  belongs to [ -1, 0)  means that -1 belongs to the interval but '0' does not
So, We split above function I as follows
 10
3[log[x]] dx  =  I  = I1 + I2 + I3+ I4+ I5+ I6 + I7
              4
 I1 = 3[log[x]] dx     =   [log 3]
 
            5
 I2 = 4[log[x]] dx     =   [log 4]
 
            6
 I3 = 5[log[x]] dx    =   [log 5]
 
            7
 I4 = 6[log[x]] dx    =  [log 6]
 
            8
 I5 = 7[log[x]] dx    =  [log 7]
 
            9
 I6 = 8[log[x]] dx    =   [log 8]
 
            10
 I7 = 9[log[x]] dx    =   [log 9]
 
or I = [log 3] + [log 4] + [log 5] + [log 6] + [log 7] + [log 8] + [log 9]
 
Here if it is natural log i.e. base is 'e' then
 
or I = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 9

Since, efficiency of the reactor = 10%
 
 and power of the reactor = 1000MW = 109 Watts
 
So, power generated due to the fission of U-235 in order to sustain the 1000MW
 
plant with 10% efficiency = 1010Watts
 
Now reactor is to function for 10years
 
So during these 10 years Energy generated due to the fission of U-235 is given
 
by E = P*t = 1010*10*365*24*3600 Joules
 
Energy liberated after fission of 1 nucleus of U-235 = Ef = 200Mev
 
or, Ef = 200*106*1.6*10-19 Joules
 
hence to produce energy E the no. of U-235 nuclei required N = E/Ef
 
or N = 1010*10*365*24*3600 /200*106*1.6*10-19  = 9855*1025
 
Now 1 mole of U-235 = 235 g = 6.023*1023 nuclei or atoms of U-235
 
So N number of U-235 = N/6.023*1023  moles
 
or mass of N number of U-235 = [N/6.023*1023] * 235 grams 
 
                                           = 9855*1025*235/6.023*1023
                                                        
                                            = 3843180 g = 38431.80 kg

Here,since at the two slits we have introduced mica and polystyrene strips of
 
thickness 0.50mm = 0.05cm each with and refractive indices 1.58 and 1.55
 
respectively
 
1 = 1.58
 
2 = 1.55
 
So this will introduce extra path length of   times thickness
 
so extra path difference introduced is = (1t -2t) = (1.58 - 1.55) 0.05 cm
 
or extra path dfference = t = 0.0015cm
 
so in the expressions for young's double slite experiment we will introduce this
 
extra path difference to find fringe width and other parameters
 
so x  = dy/D + t 
 
here d = slit width = 0.12cm
 
 = 590nm
 
D = 1m = 100cm
 
so for constructive interference we use
 
x  = dy/D + t = n
 
and for destructive interference
 
x  = dy/D + t = n/2, where n is any integer
 
 Thus, introduction of 't' in the path lengh does not change the fringe width
 
as width = w = D/d = 100*590*10-7/0.12 = 49.1 *10-3cm = 4.91*10-4cm
 
Now, to find the distance of first maximum from the center, we should
 
remember that the path difference at center is not zero but 't'.
 
so depending on  t = n or n/2 the central point will be maxima or minima or
 
neither of these.
 
Thus using above expressions and conditions we can find the distance of first
 
maximum from the center.

Dear Kirtana,
could you please verify your problem!!!
I expect one of the function sin or cos to be inverse.

Another elegant approach for deriving an expression for Kinetic energy is the
 
Classical Relativistic approach using famous Einstein's mass- Energy
 
relationship i.e.,
 
E = mc2,
 
Where,
 
 E = Total energy of the particle = rest mass energy + Kinetic energy....(1)
 
and 'm' = Relativistic mass of the particle i.e., mass of the particle when its
 
velocity is v
 
'c' = Speed of light in vacuum
 
Rest mass of the particle is taken = m0
 
m = m0/(1 -v2/c2)=m0(1 -v2/c2)-1/2
 
or m = m0(1 + v2/2c2 + neglecting higher terms) =m0(1 + v2/2c2)
 
( as here v<<c)
 
Therefore, E = m0c2(1 + v2/2c2) =m0c2+ m0v2/2 ........(2)
 
Where, m0c2 = Rest mass energy
 
Therefore Kinetic energy of the particle = m0v2/2
 
NOTE: REMEMBER THIS FORMULA FOR KINETIC ENERGY HOLDS GOOD
 
ONLY FOR THE CASES WHERE v<<c, WHAT WE CALL THE NON
 
RELATIVISTIC CASE. WHEREAS, IF WE CONSIDER RELATIVISTIC CASE
 
WHERE, VELOCITY OF PARTICLE IS COMPAREBLE TO THE VELOCITY OF
 
LIGHT, THE KINETIC ENERGY TERM INVOLVES HIGHER POWERS OF
 
v2/c2 THAT WERE OTHERWISE NEGLECTED IN DERIVING ABOVE
 
EXPRESSION.

Gravitational field at any point inside a thin spherical shell is always zero.
Hence, if a shell is cut by a plane it means that the centers A and B of the two cut portions of the shell which were earlier coinciding must have equal gravitational field due to the shells to which they belong
thus, gravitational field at A = Gravitationl field at B
further, the field due to two parts are equal and opposite so that when the two portions are combined together the resultant gravitational field at these points will again be zero.

the problem 15 H.C.Verma from gravitation is
 
A thin spherical shell having uniform density is cut in two parts by a plane and kept separated. The point A is the center of the plane section of the first partand B of the second part. Show that the gravitational field at A due to the first part is equal in magnitude to the gravitational field at B due to the second part.

You are requested to write the problem briefly so that it will be easy for us,as well as for others. Little effort on your part will help other IIT aspirants to understand what is going on without refering to books. Please don't mind.

PROJECTILE FIRED FROM AN INCLINED PLANE
 
Consider an inclined palne which makes an  with the horizontal. Let a projectile be projected with a velocity 'v' making an angle  with the horizontal.
 
 Let us choose X axis along the inclined plane and Y-axis perpendicular to it.
 
gcos and gsin are the two rectangular components of g.
 
Now,
 
vx= v cos(-) and vy = v sin(-).
 
Let T = time of flight of the projectile
 
The displacement of the projectile perpendicular to the inclined plane is clearly
 
Zero.
 
Using S = ut + (1/2) a t2, for motion along y-axis, we get
 
0 = v sin(-) T -(1/2) g cos T2
 
or T = 2 v sin(-)/g cos  
 
Range on the inclined plane is
 
R = 2v2 sin(-) cos/g cos2  
 
Rmax= v2/g (1+sin)
 
Hmax= v2sin2(-)/2g cos
 
If  is changed to -, then we get the formula of time of flight and range for
 
'down the inclined plane'. In this case,
 
T = 2v sin(+)/g cos  
 
R = 2v2 sin(+) cos/g cos2
 
Rmax= v2/g (1-sin)

let hole be made at height 'h' from the ground
so, pressure at the level wher hole is made is given by
P = (H-h)g
and F= PA = (H-h)gA
acceleration of water = a = F/m = (H-h)gA/m
Now, time taken by the stream to fall on the ground from height 'h' is
t = 2gh
Therefore, Horizontal distance travelled in time 't' is
x = ut + (1/2)at2
or, x = (1/2) [ (H-h)gA/m] [2gh]
or, x = (H-h)g2Ah/m
so, for x = maximum
dx/dh = 0
dx/dh = -g2Ah/m +(H-h)g2A/m
or (H-h)g2A/m = g2Ah/m
or (H-h) = h
or h = H/2 is the reqiured solution

Problem reads,
A man of mass 60 kg, standing on a light weighing machine kept in a box of mass 30 kg. The box is hanging from a pulley fixed to the ceiling through a light rope, the other end of which is held by the man himself. If the man manages to keep the box at rest, what is the weight shown by the machine? What force Should he exert on the rope to get his correct weight on the machine?
Solution) Let the man exets force F in the state when he manages to keep the box at rest. in this situation his effective weight as shown by the machine will be  = (mg - F), where m = mass of the man = 60 kg
Now, for this we formulate following equation
weight of box+(weight of man - force applied by man)=Force applied by the man
or, 30g + (60g - F) = F
or, 90g = 2F
or F = 45g
Therefore weight of the man as applied on the machine = (mg - F)
                                               = 60g - 45g = 15g
thus, weight applied on the machine = 15g Newton
Which corresponds to mass = 15 kg
so reading on the weight machine = 15 kg

Consider a triangle ABC
Here AB = Vector a
AC=  Vector b
Let angle between a and b be
Drop a perpedicular from point B on AC, say it is BD
Length of the perpendicular = BD = a sin
Therefore, area of the triangle ABC= (1/2) base * altitude = (1/2)*AC * BD
area between vectors a and  b = area of triangle ABC = (1/2)*b*a sin
area between vectors a and  b =(1/2)*b*a sin = (1/2) of magnitude of (a x b)

In equilibrium condition the weight of the cylinder is balanced by force in th spring in upward direction and buoyancy force exerted by the water in upward direction. So we formulate the equation under equilibrium conition as:
 
mg = kx +  Vg
Where, m is mass of the cylinder
since half  of the cylinder is dipped in the water so buoyancy force = Vg
here V is half of the volume of water and  is the density of water which is 1000kg/m^3

If an object is floating in some fluid say water, then its portion will be immersed in water and the portion immersed will be such that it displaces liquid of equal volume so as to provide buoyant force to the object and consequently the obect floats.
Now, we assume the same under free fall
Under free fall of an object or system there is a phenomenon of WEIGHTLESSNESS. Thus, the body which was floating will continue to float and its none of the fration/portion will be immersed in the water and there will not be any buoyancy.
