A horse runs along a circle with a speed of 20k m//h . A lantern is at the centre of the circle. A fence is along the tangent to the circle at the point at which the horse starts. Find the speed with which the shadow of the horse moves along the fence at the moment when it covers 1/8 of the circle in km/h.

A boy is moving on a straight road against a frictional force of 5 N. After travelling 1.5 km, he forgot the path at cross roads of radius 100m. He moves on the circular path for one and half cycle and then he moves forward up to 2 km. Calculate the work done by him.

A heavy cart is pulled by a constant force F along a horizontal track with the help of a rope that passes over a fixed pulley, as shown in the figure. Assume the tension in the rope and the frictional forces on the cart remain constant and consider motion of the cart until it reaches vertically below the pulley. As the cart moves to the right, its acceleration
