A pulse is propagating on a long stretched string along its length taken as positive x-axis. Shape of the string at t = 0 is given by y = sqrt(a^2 - x^2) when |x| lt= a = 0 when |x| gt= a . What is the general equation of pulse after some time 't' , if it is travelling along positive x-direction with speed V?

In the figure shown a massless spring of stiffness k and natural length l_(0) is rigidly attached to a block of mass m and is in vertical position. A wooden ball of mass m is released from rest to fall under gravity. Having fallen a height h the ball strikes the spring and gets stuck up in the spring at the top. What should be the minimum value of h so that the lower block will just lose contact with the ground later on ? Assume that l_(0) gt gt (4mg)/(k) . Neglect any loss of energy. (Given k=mg//2 )
