An empty bucket of mass 1 kg attached by a light cord passed over a pulley of a water well is released from rest. If the pulley assembly is assumed to be a uniform solid cylinder of mass 8 kg and free to rotate about its axis without any friction, then the speed of the bucket as it hits the water 16 m below is (take, g = 10ms^(-2) )

A 40 kg sphere suspended by a thread of legnth 1 is oscillating in a vertial plane, the angular amplitude being theta_(0) . What is the tension in the thread when it makes an angle theta with the vertical during oscillations? If the thread can support a maximum tension of 80 kg-f, then what can be the maximum angular amplitude of oscillation of the sphere without breaking the rope?
