Two men A and B are standing on a plank. B is at the middle of the plank and A is at the left end of the plank. The bottom surface of the plank is smooth. The system is initially at rest and masses are as shown in the figure. A and B start moving such that the position of B remains fixed with respect to ground and A meets B. Then the point where A meets B is located at

A small sphere of radius R is held against the inner surface of a larger sphere of radius 6R. The masses of large and small spheres are 4M and M respectively. This arrangement is placed on a horizontal table as shown. There is no friction between any surfaces of contact. The small sphere is now released. The coordinates of the centre of the large sphere when the smaller sphere reaches the other extreme position is :

A super-ball is to bounce elastically back and forth between two rigid walls at a distance d from each other. Neglecting gravity and assuming the velocity of super-ball to be v0 horizontally, the average force (in a large time interval) being exerted by the super-ball on one wall is :
