Open questionXE-DNAT1 markNeeds review
A particle of mass 0.1 kg, which is released from rest, falls vertically downward under gravity in a fluid. The fluid offers a resistive force, which is linearly proportional to the particle velocity with 0.1 N.s/m as the constant of proportionality. The uniform gravitational acceleration is 10 m/s
throughout the trajectory of the particle. The magnitude of the particle velocity (in m/s) at time 1 s after release (rounded off to two decimal places) is _____.Log in to check the answer

Determine the correctness or otherwise of the following Assertion [a] and Reason [r].
Assertion [a]: Efficient columns are designed so that most of the column’s cross-sectional area is located as far away as possible from the principal centroidal axes of the section.
Reason [r]: Load carrying capacity of columns will increase as the moment of inertia of the cross-section increases.
