Bob B of mass m at rest is hanging vertically from the ceiling via a massless string of length 10 m, as shown in the figure. Point mass A of mass m travelling horizontally with speed 10 ms-1 hits bob B elastically. The bob B rises h meter after the collision. Taking the acceleration due to gravity g = 10 ms-2 and neglecting the size of the bob, the value of h is: [figure]

A particle of mass M moves along a horizontal x axis from x = 0 to x = L. The coefficient of kinetic friction varies as a function of x as k(x) = 0 - x, where 0, are constants of appropriate dimensions, so that k(L) = 0. The total work done by the frictional force during the motion is n 0MgL, where g is the acceleration due to gravity. The value of n is:
