A frictionless circular piston of area
m
and mass 100 kg sinks into a cylindrical container of the same area filled with water of density 1000 kg/m
as shown in the figure.

The container has a hole of area
m
at the bottom that is open to the atmosphere. Assuming there is no leakage from the edges of the piston and considering water to be incompressible, the magnitude of the piston velocity (in m/s) at the instant shown is ______ (correct to three decimal places).Log in to check the answer

A 0.2 m thick infinite black plate having a thermal conductivity of 3.96 W/m-K is exposed to infinite black surfaces at 300 K and 400 K as shown in the figure. At steady state, the surface temperature of the plate facing the cold side is 350 K. The value of Stefan-Boltzmann constant,
, is
W/m
K
. Assuming 1-D heat conduction, the magnitude of heat flux through the plate (in W/m
) is ________ (correct to two decimal places).
