  • A
    $x = 5\,m$
  • B
    $x = 6\,m$
  • C
    $x = 3\,m$

$A$ small ball $B$ of mass $m$ is suspended with a light inelastic string of length $L$ from a block $A$ of the same mass $m$,which can move on a smooth horizontal surface as shown in the figure. The ball is displaced by an angle $\theta$ from the equilibrium position and then released. The displacement of the block when the ball reaches the equilibrium position is

Two particles of the same mass are moving towards each other with velocities $2v$ and $v$ respectively. The velocity of the centre of mass of the system is:

$A$ man of mass $M$ stands at one end of a plank of length $\ell$,which lies at rest on a frictionless surface. The man walks to the other end of the plank. If the mass of the plank is $3M$,what is the distance moved by the man relative to the ground?

Two particles $A$ and $B$,initially at rest,move towards each other under a mutual force of attraction. At an instance when the speed of $A$ is $v$ and the speed of $B$ is $2v$,the speed of the centre of mass $(CM)$ is:
