Question

Mass m1 hits & sticks with m2 while sliding horizontally with velocity v along the common line of centres of the three equal masses open parentheses m subscript 1 end subscript equals m subscript 2 end subscript equals m subscript 3 end subscript equals m close parentheses. Initially masses m2 and m3 are stationary and the spring is unstreched. Find

  1. the velocities of m subscript 1 end subscript , m subscript 2 end subscript and m subscript 3 end subscript immediately after impact.    
  2. the maximum kinetic energy of m subscript 3 end subscript .    
  3. the minimum kinetic energy of m subscript 2 end subscript .    
  4. the maximum compression of the spring.    

The correct answer is: the velocities of m subscript 1 end subscript , m subscript 2 end subscript and m subscript 3 end subscript immediately after impact.

A bead can slide on a smooth straight wire and a particle of mass m attached to the bead by a light string of length L. The particle is held in contact with the wire and with the string taut and is then let fall. If the bead has mass 2m then when the string makes an angle q with the wire, the bead will have slipped a distance
