2. An elevator is accelerating upward with a constant acceleration of g/5 (g is the gravitational acceleration). An ideal spring with spring constant k is suspended vertically from the ceiling of the elevator and is attached by a block of mass m.

3. A boy is seated on the top of a hemispherical mound of ice (frictionless) of radius R as shown in the figure. He is given a very small push and starts sliding. What is the height of the point at which the boy leaves the ice? (A) R/3 (B) R/2 (C) 2R/3 (D) 3R/4 (E) None of the above.

4. A pendulum is formed by pivoting a long thin rod of length L and mass M about a point on the rod. Apparently, the period (T) of this pendulum (for small oscillations) depends on the position of the pivot. Suppose the pivot is at a distance d from the center of the rod.

If one hanging block is removed, what will the radius of the particle motion become? (A) ∛(2)R (B) ∛(2)R (C) √2 R (D) 2R (E) None of the above.

6. The two spheres (#2, #3) in the figure are slightly separated and initially at rest; the left sphere (#1) is incident with speed v₀. If M ＞ m, what is the final velocity of sphere #2? We assume head-on elastic collisions. (A) (B) (C) (D) (E) 0.

8. For an ideal gas undergoing an adiabatic process, both its volume (V) and temperature (T) change. Which one of the following would remain constant? (γ = Cp/Cv) (A) (B) TVγ-1 (C) TγV (D) TγV-1 (E) None of the above.

9. One mole of monatomic ideal gas is used as the working substance of an engine that operates the reversible cycle abcd shown in the figure. What is the efficiency of this engine? (A) 1/2 (B) 1/4 (C) 2/11 (D) 2/13 (E) None of the above.
