    At time $t=0$, a disk of radius $1 m$ starts to roll without slipping on a horizontal plane with an angular acceleration of $\alpha=\frac{2}{3} rad s ^{-2}$. A small stone is stuck to the disk. At $t=0$, it is at the contact point of the disk and the plane. Later, at time $t=\sqrt{\pi} s$, the stone detaches itself and flies off tangentially from the disk. The maximum height (in $m$ ) reached by the stone measured from the plane is $\frac{1}{2}+\frac{x}{10}$. The value of $x$ is. . . . . . .[Take $g=10 m s ^{-2}$.]

    A system consists of three masses $m_1 , m_2$ and $m_3$ connected by a string passing over a pulley $P.$ The mass $m_1$ hangs freely and $m_2$ and $m_3$ are on a rough horizontal table $($the coefficient of friction $= \mu ).$ The pulley is frictionless and of negligible mass. The downward acceleration of mass $m_1$ is $(Assume\, m = m_2 = m_3 = m)$

    When a body slides down from rest along a smooth inclined plane making an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal, it takes time $T$. When the same body slides down from the rest along a rough inclined plane making the same angle and through the same distance, it takes time $\alpha {T}$, where $\alpha$ is a constant greater than $1 .$ The co-efficient of friction between the body and the rough plane is $\frac{1}{\sqrt{{x}}}\left(\frac{\alpha^{2}-1}{\alpha^{2}}\right)$ where ${x}=..... .$
