write the eqn for beaker and ball as a system and note that the only force acting on them is the force of tension in string(connected to ball)and Normal(the weight measured) Find tension using eqm of ball

I think you should think that since an impulsive force has acted on car,we cannot use Conservation of Momentum.The final momentum is $0$. Change in momentum is same in both the cases,but 'rate of change of momentum' is different and thus,the forces are different.

yes,why not. :) Angle between lines joining (x_1,y_1) \&\(x_2,y_2)=tan^{-1}\left( \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\right)

hello,I suppose you'ld not need most of the data given. We can assume g=10ms^{-2} now we know distance covered,the acceleration,the initial velocity. Just put in formulas

hello, such questions can be solved using Conservation Of Momentum,and Work Energy theorem(that you used) 1st derive a relation between velocities of masses(call v_1\ and\ v_2) then use the equation you are using thanks

hello, just check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_work" I suppose,it helps. Dot product of two vectors is scalar :smile:

hello, I'ld advise you to check for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictitious_force" as you are in Accelerated frame of reference. Here the forces acting on the bob are tension,weight and pseudo force(if you write equation in aeroplane frame of reference).Break Tension in horizontal and...
