33. A 0.5 kg block slides from the point A (see fig.) on
a horizontal track with an initial speed of 3 m/s
towards a weightless horizontal spring of length 1 m
and force constant 2 N/m. The part AB of the track
is frictionless and the part BC has the coefficients of
static and kinetic friction as 0.22 and 0.2
respectively. If the distances AB and BD are 2 m and
2.14 m respectively, find the total distance through
which the block moves before it comes to rest
completely. (Take g = 10 m/s2)

(a) Express the total normal reaction force exerted
by the spheres on the ball as a function of angle
q.
(b) Let NA and NB dentoe the magnitude of the
normal reaction forces on the ball exerted by the
spheres A and B, respectively. Sketch the
variations of NA and NB as function of cos q in
the range 0 £ q £ p by drawing two seperate
graphs, taking cos q on the horizontal axis.
A light inextensible string that goes over a smooth
