    Tutorial-1
    1. A container of mass 1000 kg is to be loaded onto a ship by a crane that exerts a force of
    20KN on the container. This force is strong enough to overcome the gravitational force
    and container is lifted upward by a distance of 2m. Find the
    (a) Work done by a crane
    (b) Work done by a gravity
    (c) Upward speed of container after 5m.
    2. In a television tube , an electron is accelerated from rest to a kinetic energy of 2 KeV
    over a distance of 60cm (The force that accelerates the electron in an electric force) due
    to electric field in the tube. Find the force on the electron, assuming it to be constant
    and in the direction of motion
    3. A 10kg block on a friction-less table is attached to a horizontal spring, that obeys Hooke’s
    Law and exerts a force F~ = -Kx ı̂ . where K = 500 N/m and x is measured from the
    equilibrium position. The spring is originally compressed with the block at x1 = -10 cm.
    Find
    (a) Work done by the spring on the block as the block moves from x1 = -10 cm to its
    equilibrium position x2 = 0
    (b)The speed of the block at x2 = 5 cm. (c) Can we use kinematics to solve this?
    4. In the region −a < x < a, force on a particle is represented by the potential energy
    1 1
    function U = -b( + ). Here a and b are positive constants.
    a+x a−x
    (a) Find the force Fx in the region −a < x < a
    (b) At what value of x is the force zero?
    (c) At the location wherein force is zero, is the equilibrium stable or unstable?
    5. An object is released from a height h and slides down the roller coaster as shown in
    the figure. Considering only gravity is acting on the object and no friction, what is the
    minimum height that the object should be released at so that it can cross the point C
    and make the entire loop to the other side.

    position and check whether it is a stable or unstable equilibrium?

    9. A particle is moved quasi-statically from the point (-3,0) to (3,0), along a path y =x2 -9,
    in an external force field given by F~ = yı̂ + 3y̂. What is the magnitude of the work done
    on the particle.
