A wire, which passes through the hole is a small bead, is bent in the form of quarter of a circle. The wire is fixed vertically on ground as shown in the figure. The bead is released from near the top of the wire and it slides along the wire without friction. As the bead moves from $A$ to $B$, the force it applies on the wire is

A bullet of mass $0.02\, kg$ travelling horizontally with velocity $250\, ms^{-1}$ strikes a block of wood of mass $0.23\, kg$ which rests on a rough horizontal surface. After the impact, the block and bullet move together and come to rest after travelling a distance of $40\,m$. The coefficient of sliding friction of the rough surface is $(g = 9.8\, ms^{-2})$
