A stone is thrown vertically upwards
from a cliff 20m high. After a time of 3 s
it passes the edge of the cliff on its way
down. Calculate
a) the speed of projection
b) the speed when it hits the ground
c) the times when it is 10m above the
top of the cliff
d) the time it is 15m above the ground
(take g=10ms^(−2) ).
A light horizontal meter rule PQR has the end P fixed to
vertical wall, while a weight of 5N is suspended from the end
R. A light string QS of length 50cm fixed to the wall at S is
used to maintain the meter rule in equilibrium.
If PQ = 40 cm, the tension in the string is ?
