$A$ block of mass $m$ is suspended vertically from an elastic string with a force constant $k = mg/a$. Initially,the string is at its natural length and the block is allowed to fall freely. What will be its kinetic energy when the block passes through the equilibrium position?

  • A
    $mga$
  • B
    $mga/2$
  • C
    $0$
  • D
    $2mga$

$A$ body of mass $3 \text{ kg}$ is moving under the action of a force which causes a displacement of $\left(\frac{t^3}{3}\right) \text{ m}$, where '$t$' is time in seconds. The work done by the force in the first $2 \text{ seconds}$ is: (in $\text{ J}$)

Consider an elliptically shaped rail $PQ$ in the vertical plane with $OP = 3 \ m$ and $OQ = 4 \ m$. $A$ block of mass $1 \ kg$ is pulled along the rail from $P$ to $Q$ with a force of $18 \ N$,which is always parallel to the line $PQ$ (see the figure). Assuming no frictional losses,the kinetic energy of the block when it reaches $Q$ is $(n \times 10) \ J$. The value of $n$ is (take acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \ m/s^2$):
