It is estimated that per minute each $cm^2$ of earth receives about $2\ cal (1\ cal = 4.18\ J)$ of heat energy from the sun. This is called Solar constant. In $SI$ units the value is :-

A famous relation in physics relates 'moving mass' $m$ to the 'rest mass' $m_{0}$ of a particle in terms of its speed $v$ and the speed of light, $c .$ (This relation first arose as a consequence of special relativity due to Albert Einstein). A boy recalls the relation almost correctly but forgets where to put the constant $c$. He writes:

$m=\frac{m_{0}}{\left(1-v^{2}\right)^{1 / 2}}$

Guess where to put the missing $c$

$1$ $joule$ of energy is to be converted into new system of units in which length is  measured in $10\, m$, mass in $10\, kg$ and time in $1$ $minute$ then numerical value of  $1\, J$ in the new system is 

Stokes' law states that the viscous drag force $F$ experienced by a sphere of radius $a$, moving with a speed $v$ through a fluid with coefficient of viscosity $\eta$, is given by $F=6 \pi \eta a v$.If this fluid is flowing through a cylindrical pipe of radius $r$, length $l$ and a pressure difference of $p$ across its two ends, then the volume of water $V$ which flows through the pipe in time $t$ can be written as

$\frac{v}{t}=k\left(\frac{p}{l}\right)^a \eta^b r^c$

where, $k$ is a dimensionless constant. Correct value of $a, b$ and $c$ are
