A chef, on finding his stove out of order, decides to boil the water for his wife's coffee by shaking it in a thermos flask. Suppose that he uses tap water at $15^{\circ} C$ and that the water falls 30 cm each shake, the chef makes 30 shakes each minute. Neglecting any loss of thermal energy by the flask, how long must he shake the flask until the water reaches $100^{\circ} C$ ?

Two cylindrical hollow drums of radii $R$ and $2 R$, and of a common height $h$, are rotating with angular velocities $\omega_1$ (anti-clockwise) and $\omega_2$ (clockwise), respectively. Their axes, fixed are parallel and in a horizontal plane separated by $(3 R+\delta)$. They are now brought in contact $(\delta \rightarrow 0)$.
i. Show the frictional forces just after contact.
ii. Identify forces and torques external to the system just after contact.
iii. What would be the ratio of final angular velocities when friction ceases?

A quarterback, standing on his opponents 35-yard line, throws a football directly down field, releasing the ball at a height of 2.00 m above the ground with an initial velocity of $20.0 m / s$, directed $30.0^{\circ}$ above the horizontal.
i. How long does it take for the ball to cross the goal line, 32.0 m from the point of release?
ii. The ball is thrown too hard and so passes over the head of the intended receiver at the goal line. What is the ball's height above the ground as it crosses the goal line?
