A car accelerates from rest at a constant rate $$\alpha $$ for some time after which it decelerates at a constant rate $$\beta $$ to come to rest. If the total time lapse is t seconds, evaluate.

(i) maximum velocity reached, and

(ii) the total distance travelled.

A horizontal uniform rope of length L, resting on a frictionless horizontal surface, is pulled at one end by force F. What is the tension in the rope at a distance $$l$$ from the end where the force is applied?
