Numerical
The ends of spring are attached to blocks of mass 3 kg and 2 kg. The 3 kg block rests on a horizontal surface and the 2 kg block which is vertically above it is in equilibrium producing a compression of 1 cm of the spring. The 2 kg mass must be compressed further by at least ____ (in mm), so that when it is released, the 3 kg block may be lifted off the ground.
Correct Answer: 25
Explanation:
Ans. (25)
$kx_0=mg\Rightarrow k=2000\,\mathrm{N/m}\quad [x_0=1\,\mathrm{cm}\text{ in equilibrium}]$
$\text{To lift }3\,\mathrm{kg}\text{ mass, extension in the spring must be, }y=\frac{30}{2000}=\frac{3}{200}\,\mathrm{m}$
$\text{Let further compression in spring be }x.$
$W_s+W_{mg}=\Delta KE\Rightarrow-\frac{1}{2}k\left[y^2-\left(x+\frac{1}{100}\right)^2\right]-mg\left[x+\frac{1}{100}+y\right]=0$
$\Rightarrow-1000\left[\frac{9}{40000}-\left(x+\frac{1}{100}\right)^2\right]=20\left[\frac{3}{200}+\left(x+\frac{1}{100}\right)\right]$
$\Rightarrow-\frac{9}{800}+50\left(x+\frac{1}{100}\right)^2=\frac{3}{200}+\left(x+\frac{1}{100}\right)$
$kx_0=mg\Rightarrow k=2000\,\mathrm{N/m}\quad [x_0=1\,\mathrm{cm}\text{ in equilibrium}]$

Numerical
A block of mass 1 kg is attached to a spring with a force constant 100 N/m and rests on a rough horizontal ground as shown in the figure. Initial displacement of block from natural length is 50 cm. The total distance (in m) covered by the block if coefficient of friction between block and ground is 0.05. $[g = 10 \, m/s^{2}]$
Correct Answer: 25
Explanation:
Ans. (25) By using work energy theorem $W = \Delta KE$ $\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} kx^{2} - 0 - W_{f} = 0$ $\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} kx^{2} = \mu mgd$ $\Rightarrow d = \frac{1}{2}\frac{kx^2}{\mu mg} = \frac{1}{2}\frac{(100)(0.5)^2}{(0.05)(1)(10)} = 25m$

Numerical
A particle of mass 5 kg is free to slide on a smooth ring of radius r = 20 cm fixed in a vertical plane. The particle is attached to one end of a spring whose other end is fixed to the top point O of the ring. Initially the particle is at rest at a point A of the ring such that $OCA = 60^{\circ}$ , C being the centre of the ring. The natural length of the spring is also equal to r = 20 cm. After the particle is released and slides down the ring the contact force between the particle and the ring becomes zero when it reaches the lowest position B. Determine the force (in N/m) constant of the spring.
Correct Answer: 500
Explanation:
Ans. (500)
Initial length of spring = r (relaxed)
kr - mg = $\frac{mv^{2}}{r}$ COE at A and B
mgr (1 + cos 60°) - $\frac{1}{2}$ kr² = $\frac{1}{2}$ mv²
ā mv² = 3 mgr
From equation (i)
kr - mg = 3mg
kr = 4 mg
k = $\frac{2mg}{r}$ = 500
Initial length of spring = r (relaxed)
kr - mg = $\frac{mv^{2}}{r}$ COE at A and B
mgr (1 + cos 60°) - $\frac{1}{2}$ kr² = $\frac{1}{2}$ mv²
ā mv² = 3 mgr
From equation (i)
kr - mg = 3mg
kr = 4 mg
k = $\frac{2mg}{r}$ = 500

Correct Answer: 1
Explanation:
Ans. (1)
Angular velocity of A with respect to O is ;
$\omega_ {A O} = \frac {(v _ {A O}) _ {\perp}}{r _ {A O}}$
$v _ {A O} = v _ {1} (v _ {A O}) _ {\perp} = \frac {v}{\sqrt {2}}$
$r _ {A O} = d \sqrt {2}$
$\omega_ {A O} = \frac {(v _ {A O}) _ {\perp}}{r _ {A O}} = \frac {v / \sqrt {2}}{d \sqrt {2}} = \frac {v}{2 d}$

A toy car of mass 10 kg is moving with constant speed on a circular track of radius $10\sqrt{3}$ m bank at angle $30^{\circ}$ . Coefficient of friction between wheels of the car and track is. When the car moves on this track with maximum safe constant speed, the normal reaction (in N) between the car and the track is N. Find numerical value of $N\sqrt{3}$ .
Correct Answer: 300
Explanation:
Ans. (300)
Since the car is moving with maximum safe speed. Therefore, friction will be at its maximum value.
$N \cos 3 0 ^ {\circ} = f \sin 3 0 ^ {\circ} + M g; f = \mu N$

Explanation:
Ans. (A-Q,S), (B-P,S), (C-R,S), (D-P,S)
For block, $W_N + W_g = \frac{1}{2} mv_b^2$ $\Rightarrow W_N + mgh = \frac{1}{2} mv_b^2$ $\Rightarrow W_N = \frac{1}{2} mv_b^2 - mgh$ For wedge, $W_N = \frac{1}{2} mv_W^2$ By C.O.M.E, $mgh = \frac{1}{2} mv_b^2 + \frac{1}{2} Mv_W^2$ $\Rightarrow \left(\frac{1}{2} mv_b^2 - mgh\right) + \frac{1}{2} Mv_W^2 = 0$ $W_N$ , block + $W_{N,\text{ wedge}} = 0$
For block, $W_N + W_g = \frac{1}{2} mv_b^2$ $\Rightarrow W_N + mgh = \frac{1}{2} mv_b^2$ $\Rightarrow W_N = \frac{1}{2} mv_b^2 - mgh$ For wedge, $W_N = \frac{1}{2} mv_W^2$ By C.O.M.E, $mgh = \frac{1}{2} mv_b^2 + \frac{1}{2} Mv_W^2$ $\Rightarrow \left(\frac{1}{2} mv_b^2 - mgh\right) + \frac{1}{2} Mv_W^2 = 0$ $W_N$ , block + $W_{N,\text{ wedge}} = 0$

A ball is thrown from the location $(x_{0},y_{0})=(0,0)$ of a horizontal playground with an initial speed $v_{0}$ at an angle $\theta_{0}$ from the +x-direction. The ball is to be hit by a stone, which is thrown at the same time from the location $(x_{1},y_{1})=(L,0)$ . The stone is thrown at an angle $(180-\theta_{1})$ from the +x-direction with a suitable initial speed. For a fixed $v_{0}$ , when $(\theta_{0},\theta_{1})=(45^{\circ},45^{\circ})$ , the stone hits the ball after time $T_{1}$ , and when $(\theta_{0},\theta_{1})=(60^{\circ},30^{\circ})$ , it hits the ball after time $T_{2}$ . In such a case, $(T_{1}/T_{2})^{2}$ is ____
Correct Answer: 2
Explanation:
For case I :

$a_{rel} = 0$
For collision $\frac{v_0}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{v}{\sqrt{2}}$
$\therefore v = v_{0}$
So, $T_{1} = \frac{L}{\frac{v_{0}}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{v}{\sqrt{2}}}$
$\therefore T_{1} = \frac{L}{\sqrt{2}v_{0}}$
... (i)
For case II :

$a_{rel} = 0$
For collision, $\frac{v_0\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{v}{2}$
$\therefore v = \sqrt{3} v_{0}$
So, $T_{2} = \frac{L}{\frac{v_{0}}{2} + v\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} \Rightarrow T_{2} = \frac{L}{\frac{v_{0}}{2} + \frac{3v_{0}}{2}}$
$\therefore T_{2} = \frac{L}{2v_{0}}$
... (ii)
So, $\left(\frac{T_1}{T_2}\right)^2 = (\sqrt{2})^2 = 2\Rightarrow \left(\frac{T_1}{T_2}\right)^2 = 2$

$a_{rel} = 0$
For collision $\frac{v_0}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{v}{\sqrt{2}}$
$\therefore v = v_{0}$
So, $T_{1} = \frac{L}{\frac{v_{0}}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{v}{\sqrt{2}}}$
$\therefore T_{1} = \frac{L}{\sqrt{2}v_{0}}$
... (i)
For case II :

$a_{rel} = 0$
For collision, $\frac{v_0\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{v}{2}$
$\therefore v = \sqrt{3} v_{0}$
So, $T_{2} = \frac{L}{\frac{v_{0}}{2} + v\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} \Rightarrow T_{2} = \frac{L}{\frac{v_{0}}{2} + \frac{3v_{0}}{2}}$
$\therefore T_{2} = \frac{L}{2v_{0}}$
... (ii)
So, $\left(\frac{T_1}{T_2}\right)^2 = (\sqrt{2})^2 = 2\Rightarrow \left(\frac{T_1}{T_2}\right)^2 = 2$
