(i) The direction in which it starts sliding.
(ii) The magnitude of frictional force at time t = t2 (t2 < t1).
3-74 A block of mass 5 kg is suspended from the end of a
vertical spring which is stretched by 10 cm under the load of the
block. The block is given a sharp impulse from below so that it
acquires an upwards speed of 2 m/s. How high will it rise ?
Ans. [20 cm]
3-75 A 20 kg block is originally at rest on a horizontal surface
for which the coefficient of friction is 0.6. If a horizontal force F
is applied such that it varies with time as shown in figure-3.133.
(i) Determine the speed of the block in 10 s.

(ii) Determine the work done by this force in this duration.
(iii) Determine the work done by frictional force in this duration.
Ans. [24 m/s, 14480.4 J, 8720.4 J]
3-76 A has a mass 15 kg and B has a mass of 45 kg. They are on
a rotating surface and are connected by a cord passing around
the frictionless pulley as shown in the figure-3.134. If the
coefficient of friction between the masses and the surface if

3-77 At a mine the end of side track is to be provided with a
spring bumper. The spring must be capable of stopping a 4000 kg
ore car which has a velocity of 2 m/s down the incline at a point
40 m up the incline from the point where incline starts and
then coasts from there to the fixed bumper as indicated in
the figure-3.135. The track resistance remains constant at 30 kg.
What should be the spring constant the level after rebounding
from the point of maximum compression ?

3-78 A heavy particle of mass m is in motion on a smooth
surface of a hemisphere of radius R and there is no friction. At
the initial instant the particle is at the topmost point A and has
an initial velocity v0. At what point will the particle leave the
surface of the hemisphere ? Also determine the value of v0 for
which the particle will leave the sphere at the initial instant.

3-79 Figure-3.136 shows a rod of length 20 cm pivoted near
and end and which is made to rotate in a horizontal plane with a
constant angular speed. A ball of mass m is suspended by a
string also of length 20 cm from the other end of the rod. If the
angle made by the string with the vertical is 30°, find the
angular speed of rotation. Take g = 10 m/s2.
