A uniform chain of length and mass overhangs a horizontal table with its two third part on the table. The friction coefficient between the table and the chain is Find the work done by the friction during the period the chain slips off the table.


Important Questions on Work and Energy
A block of mass is placed at the point of a rough track shown in figure. If slightly pushed towards right, it stops at the point of the track. Calculate the work done by the frictional force on the block during its transit from to .



Shows a spring fixed at the bottom end of an incline of inclination A small block of mass starts slipping down the incline from a point away from the spring. The block compresses the spring by stops momentarily and then rebounds through a distance of up the incline. Find
(a) the friction coefficient between the plane and the block
(b) the spring constant of the spring. Take


Consider the situation shown in figure. Initially the spring is unstretched when the system is released from rest. Assuming no friction in the pulley, the maximum elongation of the spring is . The value of number is:

A block of mass is attached to two unstretched springs of spring constants and as shown in figure. The block is displaced towards right through a distance and is released. The speed of the block as it passes through the mean position shown is . Fill in the blank.

A block of mass sliding on a smooth horizontal surface with a velocity meets a long horizontal spring fixed at one end and having spring constant as shown in figure. is the maximum compression of the spring. Find the value of , here are integers.
