2. In Fig., a hammer of weight W = 10N starts from rest at A and slides down a roof for
which the coefficient of friction is u = 0.15. Find the distance x to the point D where it
hits the ground.

3. In fig., assume that the ball I of weight W is released from rest in the position 𝚹1 = 50
degree and swings downward to where it strikes the ball II of weight 2W. Assuming an
elastic impact, calculate the angle 𝚹2 through which the larger pendulum will swing after
the impact.

4. In Fig. , a homogenous plate having the form of an equilateral triangle with edges of length
a hangs in a vertical plane by pins at two of its corners A and B. Calculate the horizontal
and vertical components of the reaction at A an instant after the pin at B is removed. The
weight of the plate is W = 200 N and the dimension a = 500 mm.
