A block of is placed at of a rough track as shown in the figure. If slightly pushed towards the right, it stops at point of the track. The work done by the frictional force is

A block of mass is moving with velocity towards a massless unstretched spring of force constant . The coefficient of friction between the block and the ground is, . Find the maximum value of so that after pressing the spring, the block does not return back but stops there permanently.

A block of mass is placed inside a smooth hollow cylinder of radius whose axis is kept horizontally. Initially, the system was at rest. Now cylinder is given constant acceleration in the horizontal direction by an external agent. The maximum angular displacement of the block with the vertical is:

A small block is pulled in the vertical plane along a frictionless surface in the form of an arc of a circle of radius . The applied force is of as shown in the figure. If the block started from rest at , the speed at would be:
