end is fixed to a support 0.40 m above the horizontal surface. Initially,
when the system is released to move, the spring is vertical and
unstretched. Find the velocity of block A at the instant in breaks off the
surface below it. (g = 10 N/kg).

8. A spherical raindrop initially of radius r0 starts falling freely, receives water particles during its fall so
that at every instant the rate of increase of volume is equal to times its surface area at that
instant.
(a) Find the velocity of the raindrop after t seconds, assuming no air drag.
(b) Also, find the distance that the drop has fallen in that time.

10. An observer in a train moving with a uniform velocity finds that a car moving parallel to the train has
a speed of 10 km/h in the direction of motion of the train. An object falls from the car and the
observer in the train notices that the car has moved on per one minute, turned back and moved
with speed of 10 km/h and picked up the object two minutes after turning. Find
(a) the velocity of the train relative to the ground.
(b) the velocity of the car during its forward and reverse journeys.
Assume that the object comes to rest immediately on fall from the point of view of the observer on
the ground.

11. The current velocity of a river grows in proportion to the distance from its bank and reaches the
maximum value v
0
in the middle. Near the banks the velocity is zero. A boat is moving along the
river in such a manner that it is always perpendicular to the current and the speed of the boat in still
water is u. Find the distance through which the boat crossing the river will be carried away by the
current if the width of the river is c. Also determine the trajectory of the boat.

two stones are dropped from it at
an interval of 2 s. Find the distance between them 1.5 sec after the second stone is released.

13. Three identical particles A,B and C lie on a smooth horizontal table. Light inextensible strings
which are just taut connect AB and BC and ZABC is 135. An impulse J is
applied to the particle C in the direction BC. Find the initial speed of each
particle. The mass of each particle is m.

14. Two particle A & B of mass 2m and m respectively are attached to the ends of a light inextensible
string of length 4a which passes over a small pulley at a height from 3a from an inelastic table. The
system is released from rest with each particle at a height a from the table.
a) Find the speed of B when A strikes the table.
b) The time that elapses before A first hits the table
c) The time for which A is resting on the table after the first collision & before it is first jerked
off.
d) The speed with which A is jerked off.
e) The time that elapses between A being first jerked off the table and A hitting the table
again.

15. An object of mass 5 kg is projected with a velocity of 20 m/s at angle of 60 to the horizontal. At
the highest point its path the projectile explodes and breaks up into two fragments of masses 1
kg and 4 kg. The fragments separate horizontally after the explosion. The explosion releases
internal energy such that the kinetic energy of the system at the highest point is doubled. Calculate
the separation between the two fragments when they reach the ground.

16. A particle A of mass m moving on a smooth horizontal surface collides with a stationary particle B
of mass 2m directly, situated at a distance d from a wall. The coefficient of restitution between A &
B and between B and wall is e = 1/4. Calculate the distance from the wall where they collide again.
Assume that the entire motion takes place along a straight line perpendicular to the wall

17. A uniform ring of mass m and radius r is rolling on a horizontal surface without slipping. The ring
has a particle of mass 2m rigidly attached, to its rim as shown in the figure. At a certain instant in
the position shown the centre of the ring has a velocity v0 and acceleration a0 . Find (a) the
moment of inertia of the system about an axis perpendicular to the plane of motion and passing
through (i) O (ii) P (iii) the CM of the system.
(b) The velocity and the acceleration of the centre of mass of the system.
(c) The angular momentum of the system about (i) P, (ii) O (iiii) G.





18. A solid sphere of mass m and radius r is released from rest in the position shown on a horizontal
surface. The centre of mass G of the sphere is at a distance x from the
geometric centre (due to non uniformity in the sphere). Find
(a) the instantaneously acceleration of the centre C.
(b) the instantaneous angular acceleration.
(c) the instantaneous ground reaction.
(d) the angular velocity of the sphere when it rotates through 90
Assume pure rolling motion. The radius of gyration of the sphere about the centroidal axis is k.

19. In a disc arial mass density varies directly proportional to the square of the distance from the centre
of the disc. The moment of inertia of the disc about an axis passing through its circumference and
perpendicular to the plane of the disc is I. Find the moment of inertia of the disc about the diameter
of the disc.
