Consider an elliptically shaped rail in the vertical plane with and . A block of mass is pulled along the rail from to with a force of , which is always parallel to line (see Fig.). Assuming no frictional losses, the kinetic energy of the block when it reaches is Joules. Find the value of (take acceleration due to gravity).


Important Questions on Work, Energy and Power
A light Inextensible string that goes over a smooth fixed pulley as shown In Fig. connects two blocks of masses and . Taking , find the work done (in Joule) by string on the block of mass during the first second after the system is released from rest.




A particle of mass is moving in a circular path of constant radius such that its centripetal acceleration is varying with time as where is a constant. The power delivered to the particle by the force acting on it is
