. Fig. 158 shows a rectangular block of mass in resting on top of a semi - cylindrical surface. If the block is slightly tipped at one end, find its frequency of oscillation.
1) Before a cranberry can make it to your dinner table, it must pass a bouncing test which rates its
quality. The cranberry falls from rest at A, then strikes the incline testing table at B, and finally
bounces over the barrier at C. Knowing that the cranberry is having a coefficient of restitution of 0.8
to be accepted, determine:
(a) The velocity of the cranberry before and after striking the inclined testing table.
(b) The dimension d and h for the barrier.

0.50m
0.25m
B
0.75 m and the point D is 0.25 m higher than.
B. A ball-bearing of mess 0.060 kg is released
frem A, which is 0.50m higher than B.
Assume that rotational and frictional effects
can be ignored and that the oali-bearing
remains in contac: with the track throughout
the motion.
(a) Calculate the speed of the ball-hearing
(6) at E, (ii) at D.
(i) Drawa diagram showing the farces acting
on the ball-bearing when it is at D and
caiculate the reaction between the track
and the bail-bearing at this point.
