Given below are some functions of x and t to represent the displacement of an elastic wave.$\text{y}=100\cos(100\pi\text{t+0.5x})$

Figure shows two blocks A and B, each having a mass of 320g connected by a light string passing over a smooth light pulley. The horizontal surface on which the block A can slide is smooth. The block A is attached to a spring of spring constant 40N/m whose other end is fixed to a support 40cm above the horizontal surface. Initially, the spring is vertical and unstretched when the system is released to move. Find the velocity of the block A at the instant it breaks off the surface below it. Take $g = 10m/s^2$.

An air chamber of volume $V$ has a neck of the area of cross-section $A$ into which a ball of mass $m$ can move without friction. Show that when the ball is pressed down through some distance and released, the ball executes SHM. Obtain the formula for the time period of this SHM, assuming pressure-volume variations of the air to be
i. isothermal and
ii. adiabatic.

Will it reach the bottom with the same speed in each case?
Will it take longer to roll down one plane than the other?
If so, which one and why?

Earth’s orbit is an ellipse with eccentricity $0.0167$. Thus, earth’s distance from the sun and speed as it moves around the sun varies from day to day. This means that the length of the solar day is not constant through the year. Assume that earth’s spin axis is normal to its orbital plane and find out the length of the shortest and the longest day. A day should be taken from noon to noon. Does this explain variation of length of the day during the year?
