‘A van of width b is moving with uniform velocity w
along a straight road parallel to the pavement almost
touching it. A boy steps onto the road from the
Pavement ata distance d in front ofthe van and walks
with uniform velocity w/< u see a) in the direction
which makes an acute angle a with the direction of
‘motion of the van. If the boy just escapes without
being hit by the van,

A particle of mass m is at rest on a smooth
horizontal table. Two particles, each of mass 2m,
‘moving on the table in opposite direction with speeds
wand 2u towards the particle at rest, collide with it
simultaneously and coalesce. Find the speed of the
combined particle after collisions, and show that the

loss of kinetic energy due to collisions is zm.
AA particle of mass m rests on a fixed smooth plane
inclined at an anlge arto the horizontal and is
‘connected by a light inextensible string passing over
‘8 small smooth pulley at the top of the plane to a
mass M(M > msina? hanging freely. The
system is released from rest with the mass M close
to the pulley with the string taut and lying in a line of
sg7eatest slope of the plane, as shown in the diagram.
‘Show that the speed vof the particle of mass m when
it has moved a distance dupwards along the plane is
liven by (M + m= 2gd(M - msing).

vectors of two points 4 and B respectively, with
respect to a fixed origin 0. Also, let Cbe a point on
the straight line through A parallel to OB, Show that

‘A wooden block of weight v1 resting on a rough
horizontal table is connected by a light inextensible
string BC to a fixed simall nail on a vertical wall as
shown in the diggram. A particle of weight ws is tied
ata point 4 of the string so that (A makes un angle a
withthe downward vertical. Lf the portion AB is
horizontal, and the block is
of friction between the block and the table.on

Let A, B and C be three mutually exclusive and
exhaustive events of a sample space Q.
Is it possible to have the probabilities

simultaneously? Justify your answer
Let A and B be two events of a sample space 2.
Show that if P/A|B) = P(A|BY, then A and B are
independent, where 8° denotes the complementary

eight observations.
‘A frequency table has five class intervals of equal
‘width. The mid-point ofthe third class interval is 2.5.
