height to which the bob rises before it swings back.
Answer: 0.2 m
Q9. A moving ball of mass m undergoes a head on collision with another stationary ball of mass 2m. Show that the colliding ball loses 8/9 th of its energy after collision.
Q10. A body constrained to move along the z-axis of a co-ordinate system is subject to a constant force F = -i +2j + 3k Newton. What is the work done by this force in moving the body over a distance of 4m along the z-axis?
Answer: 12 J
Q11. A uniform chain of length L and mass M is lying on a smooth table and one third of its length is hanging vertically down over the edge of the table. If g is acceleration due to gravity, calculate work required to pull the hanging part on the table.
Answer: MgL/18
Q12. A pump on the ground floor of a building can pump up water to fill a tank of volume 30 m 3 in 15 minute. If the tank is 40 m above the ground and the efficiency of the pump is 30%, how much
electric power is consumed by the pump?
Answer: 43.567 kW
Q13. A man cycles up a hill whose slope is 1 in 20 with a velocity of 6.4 km/h along the hill. The weight of the man and the cycle is 98 kg. What work per minute is the man doing? What is his horse power?
Answer: 5122.1 J
Q14. The bob of a pendulum is released from a horizontal position. If the length of the pendulum is 1.5 m, what is the speed with which the bob arrived at the lowermost point B, given that it dissipates 5% of its initial energy against air resistance?
Answer: 5.285 m/s
