Two blocks of mass m are brought close to each other with a spring (mass negligible) compressed between then. The spring has potential energy 1/2kx2, where k and x are the force constant and the compression of the spring. The system is held together by a string (mass negligible) that opposes the outward force of the spring. When the string is cut, the spring expands to to its natural length (where it stores no more potential energy), and the two blocks fly apart with total kinetic energy equal to the potential energy that had been stored in the spring. In terms of the mentioned quantities, find the mass of the system before the string was cut.

A helicopter with an unloaded mass of 10000 kg takes off from sea level with a load. The wings rotate at 400 rpm without load. The horizontal wings on the helicopter allow an air mass of 15 m diameter to move downward at an average speed in proportion to the rotation speed. The helicopter was loaded with 15000 kg payload and the helicopter took off slowly. a) The volumetric flow rate of the downward air flow created by the helicopter while taking off without load and the required power b) When the helicopter takes off with a load of 15000 kg, find the speed and power of the wings to rotate. The density of the air in atmospheric conditions can be taken as 1.18 kg / m3. It is accepted that the air approaches the wings from above in a large area and with negligible speed, and is moved downward by the wings at a uniform speed from the imaginary cylinder, which has a base area equal to the wing span.

There is 10-kg of water at room temperature and pressure in a closed piston-cylinder. Boundary work is then done on the system, compressing it until the volume decreases to one-half of it's original value. If the internal energy of the system decreases by 700 kJ/kg during this process and 200 kJ/kg of boundary work is done on the system, how much heat has been removed from the system, in kJ. Assume that system is sitting on a lab bench.How much heat is removed from the system, in kJ?
Q2.3 Solar houses are designed to retain the heat absorbed during the day so that the stored hear can be released during the night. A botanist produces steam at 100 during the day and then allows the steam to cool to 0 °C and freeze during the night. How many kilograms of water are needed to store 200 kJ of energy for the process? (Use the laten heat of vaporization of water L. = 22.6 × 105 3/ Kg, the laten heat of fusion of water L₁= 33.5 x 104 J/Kg, and the specific heat capacity of water c = 4186 J/kg. C. Hint: you need to use both the formula of the heat Q = mcVT and Q = mL)
