XL = WL = 2πFL (w = 2πf)
XL = reactance inductor (S.I unit Ω)
L = inductance (L) in Henry
XL = 1Ω, f = 50/π, L = ?
1 = 2× π × 50/π × L
1 = 100L
i.e. 100L = 1
L = 1/100
0.01H
∴ Inductance (L) of a inductor = 0.01H

Users' Answers & CommentsI. Energy is conversed
II. Energy is decreased
III. Energy is increased
IV. Linear momentum conversed
In an inelastic collision, linear momentum is conserved and energy is decreased
Momentum and kinetic energy are conserved in elastic collision
Users' Answers & CommentsNote:The principle of floatation states that a floating body displaces its own weight of the fluid or which its float.
For object to sink weight of the object (W) > upthrust of the fluid (v) i.e. w > u
(i.e. weight of the body (or object) mass of the fluid)

His observation show that light from the sun ray refracted through a layer of hot air(layer) which is closed to the ground, passes from a hot air layer to the cold layer
Users' Answers & CommentsNote: moment of a couple = force × length (fL)
The tangential force is actingin an opposite direction alongside its length
i.e f1 L1 = f2L2
f2L2 − f1 L1 = 0(i.e Zero)
