A cylindrical trough is placed on a horizontal plane. The two edge of the trough are connected with smooth inclined planes and at locations and respectively. The trough edges and the inclined planes are tangential at the connections, and are located at the same horizontal level, as shown in the figure. A small mass slides freely down the slope from a height of above the horizontal level . It enters the trough at position reaches and then slides upward along slope until it reaches a height of above the horizontal level . It then slides downwards along slope and enters the trough again. Neglecting air resistance, the small mass

A small body slips, subject to the force of friction, from point to point along two curved surfaces of equal radius, first along route then along route . The coefficient of on both routes is the same.In which case will the body's speed at be greater?

A non-Hookian spring has force , where is the spring constant and is the displacement from its unstretched position. For the system shown of mass connected to an unstretched spring initially at rest, how far does the spring extend before the system momentarily come to rest? Assume that all surfaces are frictionless and that the pulley is frictionless as well.

A massless string of length connects two hockey pucks that lie on frictionless ice. A constant horizontal force is applied to the midpoint of the string, perpendicular to it (see figure). What is the kinetic energy of a puck just before the pucks collide.


In the figure shown the potential energy of a particle is plotted against its position '' from origin. Then which of the following statement is correct. A particle at:

The teeter toy consists of two identical weights which hang form a peg on drooping arms as shown in the figure. The arrangement is unexpectedly stable. The toy can be spun or rocked with little danger of toppling over. For simplicity consider only rocking motion in the vertical plane. For the teeter toy to be stable

The given plot shown the variation, the potential energy of interaction between two particle with the separating distance between them. Which of the above statements are correct?
(1) and are equilibrium points
(2) is a point of stable equilibrium points
(3) The force of interaction between the two particle is attractive between points and and repulsive between points between and on the curve.
(4) The force of interaction between the particles is repulsive between points and on the curve.
