NUMERICAL BASED TYPE

1.A particle slides down from the top outside smooth surface of a fixed sphere of radius a= 10m. The initial horizontal velocity
2
to be imparted to the particleat the top is 10K m/s , if it leaves the surface at a point whose vertical height above the centre of
sphere is 3a/4. Find the value of K.
2.A horse pulls a wagon of 3075 kg from rest against a constant resistance of 90 N. The pull exerted initially is 600 N and it
decreases uniformly with the distance covered to 400 N at a distance of 15 m from start. Find the velocity ( in m/s) of wagon at
this point.
3. Two masses 10 kg and 20 kg are connected by a massless string. A force of 200N acts on 20 kg mass. At the instant when the
2
10 kg mass has an acceleration 12 m/s the energy stored (in Joule) in the spring (k= 2400 N/m) will be?
