shown in the figure. Initially, the spring makes an
angle of 37° with the vertical when the system is
released from rest. Find the speed of the ring when
the spring becomes vertical.

5. A ring of mass 2 kg can slide over a smooth vertical
pole. A light string is attached to the ring passing
over a smooth fixed pulley at a distance of 4 m from
the pole as shown in Fig. At the other end of the
string block of mass 1 kg is attached, lying over a
smooth fixed wedge. Find the speed of 1 kg block
when the ring falls by 3 m. The wedge and the pole
are fixed.
7. A block of mass m is connected to a spring of force
constant k. Initially the block is at rest and spring is
relaxed. A constant force F is applied horizontally
