Question

If a tangent to ellipse $fraction numerator x to the power of 2 end exponent over denominator a to the power of 2 end exponent end fraction blank$ + $fraction numerator y to the power of 2 end exponent over denominator b to the power of 2 end exponent end fraction$ = 1 makes an angle $alpha$ with x- axis, then square of length of intercept of tangent cut between axes is-

$a^{2} {t a n}^{2} α + b^{2} {c o t}^{2} α$
$a^{2} {s e c}^{2} α + b^{2} {c o s e c}^{2} α$
$a^{2} {c o s e c}^{2} α + b^{2} {s e c}^{2} α$
None of these

The correct answer is: $a to the power of 2 end exponent s e c to the power of 2 end exponent invisible function application alpha plus b to the power of 2 end exponent c o s e c to the power of 2 end exponent invisible function application alpha$

Let tangent is $fraction numerator x cos invisible function application theta over denominator a end fraction$ + $fraction numerator y sin invisible function application theta over denominator b end fraction$ = 1
Slope is tan $alpha$ = – $fraction numerator b over denominator a end fraction$ $c o t invisible function application theta$ S… (1)
$therefore$ square of length of intercept is
= $left parenthesis a s e c invisible function application theta right parenthesis to the power of 2 end exponent plus left parenthesis b c o s e c invisible function application theta right parenthesis to the power of 2 end exponent$
$therefore$ Length is $L equals a to the power of 2 end exponent plus b to the power of 2 end exponent plus a to the power of 2 end exponent t a n to the power of 2 end exponent invisible function application theta plus b to the power of 2 end exponent c o t to the power of 2 end exponent invisible function application theta$ … (2)
Now use value of tan  from (1)

Two blocks A and B of equal masses m kg each are connected by a light thread, which passes over a massless pulley as shown in the figure. Both the blocks lie on wedge of mass m kg. Assume friction to be absent everywhere and both the blocks to be always in contact with the wedge. The wedge lying over smooth horizontal surface is pulled towards right with constant acceleration a ( $m divided by s to the power of 2 end exponent$ ). (g is acceleration due to gravity). Normal reaction (in N) acting on block A.
