Numerical
A block of mass 0.18 kg is attached to a spring of force-constant 2 N/m. The coefficient of friction between the block and the floor is 0.1. Initially the block is at rest and the spring is un-stretched. An impulse is given to the block as shown in the figure. The block slides a distance of 0.06 m and comes to rest for the first time. The initial velocity of the block in m/s is V = N/10. Then N is
Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:

$\frac {1}{2} m u ^ {2} = \mu m g \times 0.0 6 + \frac {1}{2} k x ^ {2}$
$\frac {1}{2} \times 0.1 8 u ^ {2} = 0.1 \times 0.1 8 \times 1 0 \times 0.0 6 + \frac {1}{2} \times 2 \times (0.0 6) ^ {2}$
$\Rightarrow u = 0.4$
Or $0.4 = \frac{N}{10}$ (given) $\Rightarrow N = 4$ .
