A ladder rests against a frictionless vertical wall, with its upper end 6 m above the ground and the lower end 4 m away from the wall. The weight of the ladder is 500 N and its CG at 1//3^(rd) distance from the lower end. Wall's reaction will be (in newton)

One end of a light spring of natural length 4m and spring constant 170 N/m is fixed on a rigid wall and the other is fixed to a smooth ring of mass (1)/(2) kg which can slide without friction in a verical rod fixed at a distance 4 m 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.

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) .
