An object of mass $m$ is sliding down a hill of arbitrary shape and after traveling a certain horizontal path stops because of friction. The friction coefficient is different for different segments of the entire path but it is independent of the velocity and direction of motion. The work done that a force must perform to return the object  its initial position along the same path would be :-

  • C

    $2\,mgh$

  • D

    none of these

Consider the collision depicted in Figure to be between two billiard balls with equal masses $m_{1}=m_{2}$ The first ball is called the cue while the second ball is called the target. The billiard player wants to 'sink' the target ball in a corner pocket, which is at an angle $\theta_{2}=37^{\circ} .$ Assume that the collision is elastic and that friction and rotational motion are not important. Obtain $\theta_{1}$
