    A sonometer wire resonates with a given tuning fork, forming standing waves with five antinodes between the two bridges, when a mass of 99 kg is suspended from the wire. When this mass is replaced by mass MM, the wire resonates with the same tuning fork, forming three antinodes for the same positions of the bridges. The value of MM (in kg) is

    A lead bullet moving with velocity 'vv' strikes a wall and stops. 75%75\% of its energy is converted into heat. If the increase in the temperature is v2nJs\dfrac{v^2}{nJs}, then the value of nn is {s=specific heat of lead,J=mechanical equivalent of heat}\{s = \text{specific heat of lead}, J = \text{mechanical equivalent of heat}\}
