A person standing on the bank of a river observes that the angle of elevation of the top of a tree on the opposite bank is 60^(@) . When he retreates 20m from the bank, he observes the angle of elevation of the top of the same tree to be 30^(@) . Find the height of the tree and the breadth of the river.

A person normally weighing 50kg stands on a massless platform which oscillates up and down harmonically at a frequency of 2.0 s^(-1) and an amplitude 5.0 cm . A weighing machine on the platform gives the persons weight against time. Will there be any change in weight of the body, during the oscillation?

A gun which fires small balls of mass 20 g is firing 20 balls per second on the smooth horizontal table surface ABCD . If the collision is perfectly elastic and balls are striking at the centre of table with a speed of 5 m//s at an angle of 60^(@) with the vertical just before collision, then force exerted by one of the legs on ground is (assume total weight of the table is 0.2 kg )

A bolt of mass 0.3 kg falls from the ceiling of an elevator moving down with an uniform speed of 7 ms^(-1) . It hits the floor of the elevator (length of the elevator = 3m) and does not rebound. What is the heat produced by the impact? Would your answer be different if the elevator were stationary?
