2. A ball is thrown upwards from the ground with an initial speed of u. The ball is at a height of 80 m at two times, the time interval being 6s. If u = n 10 (in m/s). Then n is equal to (Take g = 10 m/s2) 3. A block slides down a smooth inclined plane to the ground when released at the top, in time t seconds. Another block is dropped vertically from the same point, in the absence of the inclined plane and reaches the ground in t/2 second. The angle (in degree) of inclination of the plane with the vertical is 60/n where n is. 4. A uniform chain of mass M (= 1 kg ) and length L ( =10 cm) lies on a frictionless table with length l0 6cm hanging over the edge. The chain begins to slide down. The speed (in m/s) with which the chain slides away from the edge is
