A constractor plans to install two slides for the children to play in a park. For the children below the age of 5 years, she prefers to have a slide whose top is at a height of 1.5m, and is inclined at an angle of 30^(@) to the ground, whereas for elder children, she wants to have a steep slide at a height of 3m, and inclined at an angle of 60^(@) to the ground. What should be the length of the slide in each case ?

An electrician has to repair an electric fault on a pole of height 5m. She needs to reach a point 1.3m below the top of the pole to undertake the repair work (see the given figure). What should be the length of the ladder that she should use which, when inclined at an angle of 60^(@) to teh horizontal, would enable her to reach the required position? Also, how far from the foot of the pole shoudl she place the foot of the ladder? (you may take sqrt3= 1.73 )

On end of a light spring of natural length d and spring constant k is fixed on a rigid wall and the other is attached to a smooth ring of mass m which can slide without friction on a vertical rod fixed at a distance d from the wall. Initially the spring makes an angle of 37^@ with the horizontal. as shown in figure. When the system is released from rest, find the speed of the ring when the spring becomes horizontal. (sin 37^@=3/5) .
