A 1kg block situated on a rough incline is connected to a spring of spring constant 100Nm-1 as shown in. The block is released from rest with the spring in the unstretched position. The block moves 10cm down the incline before coming to rest. Find the coefficient of friction between the block and the incline. Assume that the spring has a negligible mass and the pulley is frictionless.

A stone of mass 0.25 kg tied to the end of a string is whirled round in a circle of radius 1.5 m with a speed of 40 rev./min in a horizontal plane. If the speed of the stone is increased beyond the maximum permissible value, and the string breaks suddenly, which of the following correctly describes the trajectory of the stone after the string breaks :
(a) the stone moves radially outwards.
(b) the stone flies off tangentially from the instant the string breaks.
(c) the stone flies off at an angle with the tangent whose magnitude depends on the speed of the particle?
