A bullet of mass 10 g moving horizontally with a velocity of 400 m s-1 strikes a wood block of mass 2 kg which is suspended by light inextensible string of length 5 m. As a result, the centre of gravity of the block is found to rise a vertical distance of 10 cm. The speed of the bullet after it emerges out horizontally from the block will be

2. 80 m s-1
3. 120 m s-1
4. 160 m s-1

Two stones of masses m and 2m are whirled in horizontal circles, the heavier one in a radius r2 and the lighter one in radius r. The tangential speed of lighter stone is n times that of the value of heavier stone when they experience same centripetal forces. The value of n is

A plank with a box on it at one end is gradually raised about the other end. As the angle of inclination with the horizontal reaches 30 , the box starts to slip and slides 4.0 m down the plank in 4.0 s.

A block A of mass m1 rests on a horizontal table. A light string connected to it passes over a frictionless pulley at the edge of table and from its other end another block B of mass m2 is suspended. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the table is k. When the block A is sliding on the table, the tension in the string is
