The figure below shows a small mass connected to a string,which is attached to a vertical post. If the ball is released when the string is horizontal as shown below,the magnitude of the total acceleration (including radial and tangential) of the mass as a function of the angle $\theta$ is

  • A
    $g \sin \theta$
  • B
    $g \sqrt{3 \cos^2 \theta + 1}$
  • C
    $g \cos \theta$
  • D
    $g \sqrt{3 \sin^2 \theta + 1}$

An engine is attached to a wagon through a shock absorber of length $1.5\, \text{m}$. The system with a total mass of $40,000\, \text{kg}$ is moving with a speed of $72\, \text{km/h}$ when the brakes are applied to bring it to rest. In the process of the system being brought to rest,the spring of the shock absorber gets compressed by $1.0\, \text{m}$. If $90\, \%$ of the energy of the wagon is lost due to friction,the spring constant is $....\, \times 10^{5}\, \text{N/m}$.

Three objects $A, B$ and $C$ are kept in a straight line on a frictionless horizontal surface. The masses of $A, B$ and $C$ are $m, 2m$ and $2m$ respectively. $A$ moves towards $B$ with a speed of $9 \ m/s$ and makes an elastic collision with it. Thereafter,$B$ makes a completely inelastic collision with $C$. All motions occur along the same straight line. The final speed of $C$ is $.... \ m/s$.
