A block of mass M = 40 kg is released on a smooth incline from point A. After travelling through a length of 30 cm it strikes an ideal spring of force constant K = 1000 N//m . It compresses the spring and then gets pushed back. How much time after its release, the block will be back to point A?

Two planets A and B travel counter clockwise is circular orbits around a fixed star. The radii of their orbits are in the ratio 1 : 4 . At some time, they are aligned as shown in the figure, making a straight line with the star. After a certain time, planet A comes back to its initial positio completing one full circle about the star in the same time, angular displacement of the planet B is :

Fair-Asia is well known for its queer marketing practices. To lure its customers, out of the blue, it comes up with a very lucrative offer: In that offer it promises to sell and the air tickets, for a one-way trip to Bangkok that originates from Jakrata, in such a manner that the nth customer has to pay exactly Rs.n to buy an air ticket,but each prospective passenger has to bay a separate ticket for oneself. The airline claims that it had sold out all the seats at throm away prices in no time. However, at the last moment one of the customers had returned her ticket and got the full refund from the airline. Consequently, the average income of the airline from this particular flight is exactly rs 100 per passenger. What could be the maximum number of passengers allowed to travel in this airline, if only one passenger occupies each seat and cabin crew or anyone else does not occupy any seat intended for the passengers?

(i) In the arrangement shown in the figure, the tank has a large cross section and the pipes have much smaller cross section. The opening at A is unplugged and the water jet hits the ground surface at a horizontal distance x. (a) Find the level of water (h) in the tube B as water flows out of A. (b) Find x. (i) A flat horizontal surface has a small hole at its centre . A circular glass plate of radius R is placed symmetrically above the hole with a small gap h remainng between the plate and the surface A liquid enters the gap symmetrically from all sides and after travelling radially through the gap finally exits from the hole. The volume flow rate of the liquid coming out from the hole is Q (in m^(3)s^(-1) ). (a) If the flow speed just inside the circumference of the circular plate is V_(0) and the speed (V_(x)) of flow inside the gap at distance x(see figure) from the centre of the hole. (b) Write V_(x) in terms of Q, h and x.
