A body of mass m is attached to one end of a massless spring which is suspended vertically from a fixed point. The mass is held in hand so that the spring is neither stretched nor compressed. Suddenly the support of the hand is removed. The lowest position attained by the mass during oscillation is 4 cm below the point, where it held in hand. What is the amplitude of oscillation?

The bob of a pendulum is released from a horizontal position. If the length of the pendulum is 1.5 m, what is the speed with which the bob arrives at the lowermost point, given that it dissipated 5% of its initial energy against air resistance ?

A proton is kept at rest. A positively charged particle is released from rest at a distance d in its field. Consider two experiments, one in which the charged particdle is also a proton and in another, a positron. In the same time t, the work done on the two moving charged particles is

A disc is recast into hollow and thin cylinder of same radius, which will have larger moment of inertia.

An air-cored solenoid with length 30 cm, area of cross-section 25 cm^2 and number of turns 500, carries a current of 2.5 A. The current is suddenly switched off in a brief time of 10^-3s . How much is the average back emf induced across the ends of the open switch in the circuit? Ignore the variation in magnetic field near the ends of the solenoid.

Two stones are thrown up simultaneously from the edge of a cliff 200 m high with initial speeds of 15 m s^-1 and 30 m s^-1 . Verify that the graph shown in Fig. 3.27 correctly represents the time variation of the relative position of the second stone with respect to the first. Neglect air resistance and assume that the stones do not rebound after hitting the ground. Take g = 10 m s^-2 . Give the equations for the linear and curved parts of the plot.

A cylinder with a movable piston contains3moles of hydrogen atstandard temperature and pressure. The walls of the cylinder are made of a heat insulator, and the piston is insulated by having a pile of sand on it. By what factor does the pressure of the gas increase if the gas is compressed to half its original volume ?
