Problem

Consider an elliptically shaped rail PQ in the vertical plane with OP=3 mOP = 3\,\text{m} and OQ=4 mOQ = 4\,\text{m}. A block of mass 1 kg is pulled along the rail from P to Q with a force of 18 N, which is always parallel to line PQ (see the figure given). Assuming no frictional losses, the kinetic energy of the block when it reaches Q is (n×10)(n \times 10) Joules. The value of n is (take acceleration due to gravity =10 m s−2= 10\,\text{m s}^{-2}). ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/diraq-contents/PROD/homework-question-parsing/marker/d3dd875089744246ba5074192f5b3b5d/5fb340ad68b0c71df0b56698b137e35b_img.jpg)
