$A$ locomotive of mass $m$ starts moving so that its velocity varies according to the law $v = k \sqrt{S}$,where $k$ is a constant and $S$ is the distance covered. Find the total work performed by all the forces acting on the locomotive during the first $t$ seconds after the beginning of motion.

  • A
    $W = \frac{1}{8} mk^4 t^2$
  • B
    $W = \frac{1}{4} m^2 k^4 t^2$
  • C
    $W = \frac{1}{4} mk^4 t^4$
  • D
    $W = \frac{1}{8} mk^4 t^2$

$A$ dumbbell consisting of two masses $m$ each,connected by a light rigid rod of length $l$,falls from a height $h$ onto two pads of equal height,one steel and the other brass. The coefficients of restitution are $e_1$ and $e_2$ $(e_1 < e_2)$. To what maximum height will the centre of mass of the dumbbell rise after bouncing off the pads?
