1 Two identical balls A and B move towards each other and make 4 3
direct central impact. Ball B moves with an initial velocity uB.
After impact Ball A is stopped. Derive a formula for initial
velocity of ball A, uA before the collision in terms of uB and ‘e’.
2 A train of mass 400 tonnes acquires a speed of 72 km/hr in a 4 3
distance of 5 km from start. When travelling up and inclined of
1 in 200. If the frictional resistance is 200 N/tone mass,
determine tractive force exerted by engine during the operation
and the power development when the speed was 54 km/hr.
3 A 20 kg wagon moving at a speed of 0.5 m/sec towards right 4 3
collides with a 35 kg wagon which is at rest. If after collision
the 35 kg wagon is observed to move to right at a speed of 0.3
m/sec, determine the coefficient of restitution between two
wagons.
4 A 50 kg body is initially at rest on a 20° inclined plane with 4 3
coefficient of kinetic friction  = 0.25. Determine the distance
and the time body travels before attaining the speed of 15 m/sec.

5 The bottle rests at a distance of 0.9 m from the center of the 4 3

circular horizontal platform. If the coefficient of static friction
between the bottle and the platform is s = 0.3, determine the
maximum speed that the bottle can attain before slipping.
