$A$ locomotive of mass $m$ starts moving so that its velocity varies according to the law $v = k \sqrt{S}$,where $k$ is a constant and $S$ is the distance covered. Find the total work performed by all the forces acting on the locomotive during the first $t$ seconds after the beginning of motion.

  • A
    $W = \frac{1}{8} mk^4 t^2$
  • B
    $W = \frac{1}{4} m^2 k^4 t^2$
  • C
    $W = \frac{1}{4} mk^4 t^4$
  • D
    $W = \frac{1}{8} mk^4 t^2$

$A$ block of mass $m(=0.1 \ kg)$ is hanging over a frictionless light fixed pulley by an inextensible string of negligible mass. The other end of the string is pulled by a constant force $F$ in the vertically downward direction. The linear momentum of the block increases by $2 \ kg \ m/s$ in $1 \ s$ after the block starts from rest. Then, (given $g=10 \ m/s^2$):
