$A$ ball of mass $m$ is dropped from a height $s$ on a horizontal platform fixed at the top of a vertical spring. The platform is depressed by a distance $h$. The spring constant is ($g=$ acceleration due to gravity):

  • A
    $\frac{2 mg(s-h)}{h^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{2 mg(s+h)}{h^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{mg(s-h)}{h}$
  • D
    $\frac{mg(s+h)}{h}$

As shown below, bob $A$ of a pendulum having a massless string of length $R$ is released from $60^{\circ}$ to the vertical. It hits another bob $B$ of half the mass that is at rest on a frictionless table in the center. Assuming an elastic collision, the magnitude of the velocity of bob $A$ after the collision will be (take $g$ as acceleration due to gravity):
