1. A rocket of mass m = 20 kg has M = 180kg fuel. The uniform exhaust velocity of the fuel is
vr = 1.6 km/s.
(i) Calculate the minimum rate of consumption of fuel so that the rocket may rise from the ground.
(ii) Also calculate the maximum vertical speed gained by the rocket when the rate of consumption
of fuel  is (g = 10 m/s2) & ( n 10 = 2.30)
(a) 2 kg/s (b) 20 kg/s

2. Sand drops from a stationary hopper at the rate of 5 kg/s falling on a conveyor belt moving with
a constant speed of 2 m/s. What is the force required to keep the belt moving and what is the
power delivered by the motor moving the belt ?

3. If the thrust force on a rocket which is ejecting gases with a relative velocity of 300 m/s, is 210 N.
Then the rate of combustion of the fuel will be :
(A) 10.7 kg/sec (B) 0.07 kg/sec (C) 1.4 kg/sec (D) 0.7 kg/sec

4. Two masses m1 and m2 are connected by a spring of spring constant k and are placed on a
smooth horizontal surface. Initially the spring is stretched through a distance 'd' when the
system is released from rest. Find the distance moved by the two masses when spring is
compressed by a distance 'd'.

5. Two block of masses m1 and m2 are connected with the help of a spring of spring constant k
initially the spring in its natural length as shown. A sharp impulse is given to mass m2 so that
it acquires a velocity v0 towards right. If the system is kept an smooth floor then find (a) the
velocity of the centre of mass, (b) the maximum elongation that the spring will suffer ?

6. Two blocks initially at rest having masses m1 and m2 are connected by spring of spring
constant k (as shown in the figure). The block of mass m1 is pulled by a constant force F1 and
the other block is pulled by a cons tant force F 2. Find the maximum elongation of the spring.
