$A$ uniform cable of mass $M$ and length $L$ is placed on a horizontal surface such that its $(1/n)^{th}$ part is hanging below the edge of the surface. To lift the hanging part of the cable up to the surface,the work done should be

$A$ uniform chain of mass $M$ and length $L$ is lying on a smooth horizontal table,with half of its length hanging down. The work done in pulling the entire chain up onto the table is

$A$ uniform chain of length $2\,m$ is kept on a table such that a length of $60\,cm$ 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 entire chain onto the table? (Take $g = 10\,m/s^2$) ................ $J$

In the equation $W = -mgh$,what does the negative sign indicate?

The work done in pumping out water from a cubical vessel of height $1 \ m$ is approximately ........ $J$ (Take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$ and density of water $\rho = 1000 \ kg/m^3$).

The potential energy $(U)$ of a diatomic molecule is a function dependent on $r$ (interatomic distance) as $U = \frac{\alpha}{r^{10}} - \frac{\beta}{r^5} - 3$,where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are positive constants. The equilibrium distance between two atoms will be $\left(\frac{2\alpha}{\beta}\right)^{\frac{a}{b}}$,where $a = \dots \dots \dots \dots$
