A block of mass m rests on a rough horizontal plane having coefficient of kinetic friction mu_(k) and coefficient of static friction mu_(s) . The spring is in its natural, when a constant force of magnitude P=(5mu_(k)mg)/(4) starts acting on the block. The spring force F is a function of extension x as F=kx^(2).( Where k is spring constant ) (a) Comment on the relation between mu_(s) and mu_(k) for the motion to start. (b) Find the maximum extension in the spring ( Assume the force P is sufficient make the block move ) .

A circular disc of mass 10kg is suspended by a wire attahced to its centre. The wire is twisted by rotating the disc and released. The period of torsional oscillations is found to be 1.5s. The radius of the disc is 15cm. Determing the torsional spring constant of the wire. (Torsional spring constant alpha is definied by the relation J=-alphatheta , where J is the restoring coubple and theta the angle of twist.

Einstein's mass - energy relation emerging out of his famous theory of relativity relates mass (m) to energy (E ) as E = mc^2, where c is speed of light in vacuum. At the nuclear level, the magnitudes of energy are vary small. The energy at nuclear level is usually measured in MeV, where 1 MeV = 1.6 xx 10^(-13) J , the masses are measured in unified mass unit (u) where 1 u = 1.67xx10^(-27)kg. (a) Show that the energy equivalent of 1u is 931.5 MeV. (b) A student writes the relation as 1 u = 931.5 MeV. The teacher points out that the relation is dimensionally incorrect. Write the correct relation.
