$A$ dumbbell consisting of two masses $m$ each,connected by a light rigid rod of length $l$,falls from a height $h$ onto two pads of equal height,one steel and the other brass. The coefficients of restitution are $e_1$ and $e_2$ $(e_1 < e_2)$. To what maximum height will the centre of mass of the dumbbell rise after bouncing off the pads?

$A$ pendulum of length $2 \; m$ consists of a wooden bob of mass $50 \; g$. $A$ bullet of mass $75 \; g$ is fired towards the stationary bob with a speed $v$. The bullet emerges out of the bob with a speed $\frac{v}{3}$ and the bob just completes the vertical circle. The value of $v$ is $\dots \; ms^{-1}$. (if $g = 10 \; m/s^2$)

$A$ bullet of mass $0.01 \,kg$ travelling at a speed of $500 \,ms^{-1}$ strikes a block of mass $2 \,kg$ which is suspended by a string of length $5 \,m$. The centre of gravity of the block is found to rise a vertical distance of $0.1 \,m$. What is the speed of the bullet after it emerges from the block (in $\,ms^{-1}$)?

$A$ block of mass $m$ starts at rest at height $h$ on a frictionless inclined plane. The block slides down the plane,travels across a rough horizontal surface with coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu$,and compresses a spring with force constant $k$ a distance $x$ before momentarily coming to rest. Then the spring extends and the block travels back across the rough surface,sliding up the plane. The block travels a total distance $d$ on the rough horizontal surface. The correct expression for the maximum height $h'$ that the block reaches on its return is

An open knife edge of mass $m$ is dropped from a height $h$ on a wooden floor. If the blade penetrates up to the depth $d$ into the wood,the average resistance offered by the wood to the knife edge is

$A$ bullet loses $\left( \frac{1}{n} \right)^{th}$ of its velocity while passing through one plank. The number of such planks required to stop the bullet is:
