2. A string of negligible mass passing over a clamped pulley of mass m supports a m

block of mass M as shown in the figure. Find the force on the pulley by the clamp.

3. In the figure, the block of mass M is at rest on the floor. Find the
acceleration with which a monkey of mass m should climb up along the
rope of negligible mass so as to lift the block from the floor.

4. A block A is able to slide on the frictionless incline of angle and length l, kept inside
an elevator going up with uniform velocity v. Find the time taken by the block to slide
down the length of the incline if released from rest. v

5. The spring balance A reads 2kg with a block m suspended from it. A balance B
reads 5 kg when a beaker with liquid is put on the pan of the balance. The two A
balances are now so arranged that the hanging mass is inside the liquid in the
beaker as shown in the figure. In this situation find the reading of balance A and
B with proper explanation.

8. A layer of oil 3 cm thick is floating on a layer of coloured water 5 cm thick. Refractive index of coloured
water is 5/3 and the apparent depth of the two liquids appears to be 36/7 cm. Find the refractive index
of oil.

9. A ray enters a glass sphere of R.I. n = 3 at an angle of incidence 60 and is reflected and refracted
at the farther surface of the sphere. Find the angle between the reflected and refracted rays at this
surface.

10. A bullet of mass m leaves a gun of mass M kept on a smooth horizontal surface. If the speed of the
bullet relative to the gun is v, Find the recoil speed of the gun.

PART II

11. A cubical block of wood of edge 3 cm floats in water. The lower surface of the cube just touches the
free end of a vertical spring fixed at the bottom of the pot. Find the maximum weight that can be put
3
on the block without wetting it. Density of wood = 800 kg/m and spring constant of the spring

15. A stone tied to a string of length L is whirled in a vertical circle with the other end of the string at the
centre. At a certain instant of time, the stone is at its lowest position, and has a speed u. Find the
magnitude of the change in the velocity as it reaches a position where the string is horizontal.
