1. Define Acceleration, Force, Momentum, and state the fundamental relations between them.

Two elastic strings of natural lengths 2 and 3 feet, and moduli of elasticity 50 and 100 lbs. weight respectively, are attached to a mass of 1 lb. lying on a smooth horizontal plane. The strings are pulled horizontally at an angle of 60° with each other till their extensions are 2 and 3 inches respectively, and the mass is then set free. Assuming that the directions and tensions of the strings are kept constant, find the position of the mass at the end of 3 secs.

A uniform heavy rectangle ABCD is supported in a vertical piane, with the side AB at an inclination a to the horizontal and below the side CD, between two pegs, one, rough, at the middle point of AB, the other, smooth, at a point P of the opposite side CD. Find the reactions at the pegs, and shew that, if the angle of friction with the rough peg is <a, the distance of P from the middle point of CD cannot be greater
