A body of mass 1 kg falls freely from a height of 100 m, on a platform mass 3 kg which is mounted on a spring having spring constant k = 1.25 $$ \times $$ 10⁶ N/m. The body sticks to the platform and the spring's maximum compression is found to be x. Given that g = 10 ms^–2 , the value of x will be close to :

A piece of wood of mass 0.03 kg is dropped from the top of a 100 m height building. At the same time, a bullet of mass 0.02 kg is fired vertically upward, with a velocity 100 ms^–1, from the ground. The bullet gets embedded in the wood. Then the maximum height to which the combined system reaches above the top of the building before falling below is - (g = 10 ms^–2)

Three blocks A, B and C are lying on a smooth horizontal surface, as shown in the figure. A and B have equal masses, m while C has mass M, Block A is given an initial speed $$\upsilon $$ towards B due to which it collides with B perfectly inelastically. The combined mass collides with C, also perfectly inelastically $${5 \over 6}$$th of the initial kinetic energy is lost in whole process. What is value of M/m ?

Two masses m and $${m \over 2}$$ are connected at the two ends of a massless rigid rod of length l. The rod is suspended by a thin wire of torsional constant k, at the centre of mass of the rod-mass system(see figure). Because of torsional constant k, the restoring torque is $$\tau $$ = k$$\theta $$ for angular displacement $$\theta $$. If the rod is rotated by $$\theta $$₀ and released, the tension in it when it passes through its mean position will be :
