3. If a spherical body is symmetrical about its perpendicular axes, the moment of inertia of the body about an axis passing through its centre of gravity as given by Routh's rule is obtained by dividing the product of the mass and the sum of the squares of two semi-axes by n where n is
4. A glass ball is shot to hit a wall from a point on a smooth floor. If the ball returns back to the point of projection in twice the time taken in reaching the wall, the coefficient of restitution between the glass ball and the wall is
8. A ball of mass 250 g moving on a smooth horizontal table with a velocity of 10 m/sec hits an identical stationary ball B on the table. If the impact is perfectly plastic, the velocity of the ball B just after impact would be
