$A$ person trying to lose weight by burning fat lifts a mass of $10 \ kg$ up to a height of $1 \ m$, $1000$ times. Assume that the potential energy lost each time he lowers the mass is dissipated. How much fat will he use up considering the work done only when the weight is lifted up? Fat supplies $3.8 \times 10^7 \ J$ of energy per $kg$, which is converted to mechanical energy with a $20\%$ efficiency rate. Take $g = 9.8 \ m/s^2$.

  • A
    $9.89 \times 10^{-3} \ kg$
  • B
    $12.89 \times 10^{-3} \ kg$
  • C
    $2.45 \times 10^{-3} \ kg$
  • D
    $6.45 \times 10^{-3} \ kg$

$A$ simple pendulum of length $L = \frac{10}{3} \text{ m}$ with a bob of mass $M = 3m$ is hanging freely from a rigid support. $A$ bullet of mass $m$ is fired with a velocity $u = 50 \text{ ms}^{-1}$ from the ground at an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. When the bullet is at its highest point of its trajectory,it collides head-on with the bob of the pendulum and gets embedded in the bob. After collision,if the pendulum moves through a maximum angle of $120^{\circ}$,then the value of $\theta$ is $(g = 10 \text{ ms}^{-2})$.

$A$ ball of mass $m$ is dropped from a height $s$ on a horizontal platform fixed at the top of a vertical spring. The platform is depressed by a distance $h$. The spring constant is ($g=$ acceleration due to gravity):

$A$ bullet of mass $0.02 \ kg$ travelling horizontally with velocity $250 \ ms^{-1}$ strikes a block of wood of mass $0.23 \ kg$ which rests on a rough horizontal surface.
