$A$ uniform chain of length $2 \ m$ is placed on a table such that $60 \ cm$ of it hangs freely from the edge of the table. The total mass of the chain is $4 \ kg$. What is the work done in pulling the chain completely onto the table (in $J$)? (Take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

$A$ particle which is constrained to move along the $x-$axis is subjected to a force in the same direction which varies with the distance $x$ of the particle from the origin as $F(x) = -kx + ax^3$. Here $k$ and $a$ are positive constants. For $x \ge 0$,the functional form of the potential energy $U(x)$ of the particle is

Consider a one-dimensional motion of a particle with total energy $E$. There are four regions $A, B, C$ and $D$ in which the relation between potential energy $V$,kinetic energy $K$,and total energy $E$ is as given below:
Region $A: V > E$
Region $B: V < E$
Region $C: K < E$
Region $D: V > E$
State with reason in each case whether a particle can be found in the given region or not.

The potential energy function (in $J$) of a particle in a region of space is given as $U = (2x^2 + 3y^3 + 2z)$. Here $x, y$ and $z$ are in meters. The magnitude of the $x$-component of the force (in $N$) acting on the particle at point $P(1, 2, 3) \ m$ is:
