Two blocks A and B of masses 1.5 kg and 0.5 kg respectively are connected by a massless inextensible string passing over a frictionless pulley as shown in the figure. Block A is lifted until block B touches the ground and then block A is released. The initial height of block A is 80 cm when block B just touches the ground. The maximum height reached by block B from the ground after the block A falls on the ground is

A student skates up a ramp that makes an angle 30° with the horizontal. He/she starts (as shown in the figure) at the bottom of the ramp with speed v0 and wants to turn around over a semicircular path xyz of radius R during which he/she reaches a maximum height h (at point y) from the ground as shown in the figure. Assume that the energy loss is negligible and the force required for this turn at the highest point is provided by his/her weight only. Then (g is the acceleration due to gravity)
