The potential energy for a force field $\vec{F}$ is given by $U(x, y) = \cos(x + y)$. The force acting on a particle at the position given by coordinates $(0, \pi/4)$ is:

  • A
    $-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(\hat{i} + \hat{j})$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(\hat{i} + \hat{j})$
  • C
    $(\frac{1}{2}\hat{i} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\hat{j})$
  • D
    $(\frac{1}{2}\hat{i} - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\hat{j})$

The two surfaces of a biconvex lens have the same radii of curvature. This lens is made of glass with a refractive index of $1.5$ and has a focal length of $10 ~cm$ in air. The lens is cut into two equal halves along a plane perpendicular to its principal axis to yield two plano-convex lenses. The two pieces are glued such that the convex surfaces touch each other. If this combination lens is immersed in water (refractive index $=$ $4/3$),its focal length (in $cm$) is:
