Given below are two statements labelled as assertion (A) and reason (R)
(a) Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
(b) Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
(c) Assertion is true but Reason is false
(d) Both Assertion and Reason are false.
17. Assertion : A spring has potential energy, both when it is compressed or stretched.
Reason : In compressing or stretching, work is done on the spring against the restoring force
18. Assertion: Work done by the friction or viscous force on a moving body in negative.
Reason: Work done is a scalar quantity which cannot be negative like mass.
19. Assertion : The centre of mass of a body may lie where there is no mass.
Reason : Centre of mass of body is a point, where the whole mass of the body is supposed to be concentrated.
20. Assertion : It is harder to open and shut the door if we apply force near the hinge.
Reason : Torque is maximum at hinge of the door

side 1m. Find the position of centre of mass of the particle.
24. The bob of a pendulum is released from a horizontal position. If the length of the pendulum is 1.5m,
what is the speed with which the bob arrives at the lowermost point, given that it dissipated 5% of its initial
