$A$ student skates up a ramp that makes an angle $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. He/she starts (as shown in the figure) at the bottom of the ramp with speed $v_0$ and wants to turn around over a semicircular path $xyz$ of radius $R$ during which he/she reaches a maximum height $h$ (at point $y$) from the ground as shown in the figure. Assume that the energy loss is negligible and the force required for this turn at the highest point is provided by his/her weight only. Then ($g$ is the acceleration due to gravity):
$(A)$ $v_0^2 - 2gh = \frac{1}{2} gR$
$(B)$ $v_0^2 - 2gh = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} gR$
$(C)$ The centripetal force required at points $x$ and $z$ is zero.
$(D)$ The centripetal force required is maximum at points $x$ and $z$.

$A$ small bob $A$ of mass $m$ is attached to a massless rigid rod of length $1 \ m$ pivoted at point $P$ and kept at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the vertical as shown in the figure. At a distance of $1 \ m$ below point $P$,an identical bob $B$ is kept at rest on a smooth horizontal surface that extends to a circular track of radius $R$ as shown in the figure. If bob $B$ just manages to complete the circular path of radius $R$ up to a point $Q$ after being hit elastically by bob $A$,then the radius $R$ is . . . . . . $m$.

$A$ $1000\, kg$ elevator rises from rest in the basement to the fourth floor,a distance of $20\, m$. As it passes the fourth floor,its speed is $4\, m/s$. There is a constant frictional force of $500\, N$. The work done by the lifting mechanism is

In two separate collisions,the coefficients of restitution $e_1$ and $e_2$ are in the ratio $3: 1$. In the first collision,the relative velocity of approach is twice the relative velocity of separation. Then,the ratio between the relative velocity of approach and the relative velocity of separation in the second collision is:
