u= 25m/s, v= 0m/s
s= 20m
v2 = u2 + 2as
O= 625 + 40a
a= -15.625 m/s2
F= ma
= 800 x–16.625
= 12, 500N

(Solved)
A pump uses 1g of a mixture of petrol and alcohol in the ratio 4:1 by mass to raise 1000 kg of water from a well 200m deep.
i) How much energy is given by 1g of mixture?
ii) If the pump is 40% efficient, what mass of this mixture is needed to raise the water? (1g of alcohol = 7000J, of petrol= 48000J)

(Solved)
The fig. shows a 2 kg block attached to 0.5 kg mass by a light in-extensible string which passes over a pulley. The force of friction between the horizontal bench and block is 3N. The block is released from rest so that both masses move through a distance of 0.6m. Calculate the velocity of the string.
