A particle moves from a point \[\overrightarrow{r}_1 = \left( 2 m \right) \overrightarrow{ i } + \left( 3 m \right) \overrightarrow{ j } \] to another point

\[\overrightarrow{r}_2 = \left( 3 m \right) \overrightarrow{ i } + \left( 2 m \right) \overrightarrow{ j } \]  acts on it. Find the work done by the force on the particle during the displacement.

A force \[F = \alpha + bx\]  acts on a particle in the x-direction, where a and b are constants. Find the work done by this force during a displacement from x = 0 to x = d. 

A block of mass m is kept over another block of mass M and the system rests on a horizontal surface (In the following figure). A constant horizontal force F acting on the lower block produces an acceleration \[\frac{F}{2 \left( m + M \right)}\]   in the system, and the two blocks always move together. (a) Find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the bigger block and the horizontal surface. (b) Find the frictional force acting on the smaller block. (c) Find the work done by the force of friction on the smaller block by the bigger block during a displacement d of the system.

A box weighing 2000 N is to be slowly slid through 20 m on a straight track with friction coefficient 0⋅2 with the box. (a) Find the work done by the person pulling the box with a chain at an angle θ with the horizontal. (b) Find the work when the person has chosen a value of θ, which ensures him the minimum magnitude of the force. 

Is there any meaning of "Weight of the earth"?

If heavier bodies are attracted more strongly by the earth, why don't they fall faster than the lighter bodies?

The earth revolves round the sun because the sun attracts the earth. The sun also attracts the moon and this force is about twice as large as the attraction of the earth on the moon. Why does the moon not revolve round the sun? Or does it?

An apple falls from a tree. An insect in the apple finds that the earth is falling towards it with an acceleration g. Who exerts the force needed to accelerate the earth with this acceleration g?

The acceleration of moon with respect to earth is 0⋅0027 m s⁻² and the acceleration of an apple falling on earth' surface is about 10 m s⁻². Assume that the radius of the moon is one fourth of the earth's radius. If the moon is stopped for an instant and then released, it will fall towards the earth. The initial acceleration of the moon towards the earth will be

The acceleration of the moon just before it strikes the earth in the previous question is

Suppose, the acceleration due to gravity at the earth's surface is 10 m s⁻² and at the surface of Mars it is 4⋅0 m s⁻². A 60 kg passenger goes from the earth to the Mars in a spaceship moving with a constant velocity. Neglect all other objects in the sky. Which part of the following figure best represents the weight (net gravitational force) of the passenger as a function of time?

If the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the earth is g, the work done in slowly lifting a body of mass m from the earth's surface to a height R equal to the radius of the earth is

Take the effect of bulging of earth and its rotation in account. Consider the following statements :

(A) There are points outside the earth where the value of g is equal to its value at the equator.
(B) There are points outside the earth where the value of g is equal to its value at the poles.

A particle of mass m moves on a straight line with its velocity varying with the distance travelled, according to the equation  \[\nu = a\sqrt{x}\] , where a is a constant. Find the total work done by all the forces during a displacement from \[x = 0 \text{ to } x - d\] .
