$A$ small block of mass $m$ is kept on a rough inclined surface of inclination $\theta$ fixed in an elevator. The elevator goes up with a uniform velocity $v$ and the block does not slide on the wedge. The work done by the force of friction on the block in time $t$ as seen by the observer on the inclined plane will be

  • A
    zero
  • B
    $mgvt \cos^2 \theta$
  • C
    $mgvt \sin^2 \theta$
  • D
    $mgvt \sin 2 \theta$

Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are connected by a string of length $l$. They are held in a horizontal plane at a height $H$ above two heavy plates $A$ and $B$ made of different materials placed on the floor. Initially,the distance between the two masses is $a < l$. When the masses are released under gravity,they collide with $A$ and $B$ with coefficients of restitution $e_1 = 0.8$ and $e_2 = 0.4$ respectively. Find the time after the collision when the string becomes tight. (Assume $H >> l$)

When a body moves in a circular path,no work is done by the force,since

$A$ set of $n$ identical cubical blocks lies at rest parallel to each other along a line on a smooth horizontal surface. The separation between the near surfaces of any two adjacent blocks is $L$. The block at one end is given a speed $v$ towards the next one at time $t = 0$. All collisions are completely inelastic,then

$A$ small disc of mass $m = 1 \,g$ slides down a smooth hill of height $h = 10 \,cm$ from rest and gets onto a plank of mass $M = 100 \,g$ as shown in the figure. Due to friction between the disc and the plank, the disc slows down and moves as one piece with the plank. The work done by the frictional force is approximately (Use $g = 10 \,m/s^2$): (in $\,J$)
