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
    $mg$
  • B
    $mg\left( {1 - \frac{h}{d}} \right)$
  • C
    $mg\left( {1 + \frac{h}{d}} \right)$
  • D
    $mg{\left( {1 + \frac{h}{d}} \right)^2}$

$A$ $2\,kg$ block slides on a horizontal floor with a speed of $4\,m/s$. It strikes an uncompressed spring and compresses it until the block is motionless. The kinetic friction force is $110\,N$ and the spring constant is $1000\,N/m$. The spring compresses by ........ $cm$.

An object of mass $m$ is sliding down a hill of arbitrary shape and after traveling a certain horizontal path stops because of friction. The friction coefficient is different for different segments of the entire path but it is independent of the velocity and direction of motion. The work done that a force must perform to return the object to its initial position along the same path would be:
