There is a vertically suspended spring, mass system. When a block of mass 10 kg is suspended from the lower end of the spring, it is stretched by 20 cm under the load of a block at the equilibrium position. When an upward speed of 4 m s-1 is imparted to the block by giving a sharp impulse from below, how much high will it rise from the equilibrium position.

A certain spring is found not to obey Hooke’s law. It exerts a restoring force, F(x)=αxβx2 if it is stretched or compressed, where, α=48 N m-1 and β=24 N m-2. The mass of the spring is negligible. An object with mass 1 kg on a frictionless horizontal surface is attached to the spring, pulled a distance 1 m to the right to stretch the spring and released. The speed of the object when it is 0.5 m to the right of the x=0 equilibrium position is,

The figure shows a hollow cube of side a and volume V. There is a small chamber of volume V4 in the cube as shown. This chamber is completely filled by m kg of water. Water leaks through a hole H and spreads in the whole cube. Then, the work done by gravity in this process, assuming that the complete water finally lies at the bottom of the cube, is,
