In the figure given below, a wooden block of mass \(2\) kg rests on a soft horizontal floor. When an iron cylinder of mass \(25\) kg is placed on top of the block, the floor yields steadily and the block and the cylinder together go down with an acceleration of \(0.1~\mathrm{m/s^2}\). What is the force of the block on the floor after the floor yields? (Take \(g=10~\mathrm{m/s^2}\).)
1. \(270\) N upward
2. \(267.3\) N downward
3. \(20\) N downward
4. \(267.3\) N upward

A ball of mass \(0.15~\text{kg}\) is dropped from a height \(10~\text{m}\), strikes the ground, and rebounds to the same height. The magnitude of impulse imparted to the ball is \((g=10 ~\text{m}/\text{s}^2)\) nearly:
1. \(2.1~\text{kg-m/s}\)
2. \(1.4~\text{kg-m/s}\)
3. \(0~\text{kg-m/s}\)
4. \(4.2~\text{kg-m/s}\)

1. | no |
2. | yes |
3. | data insufficient |
4. | depends on the weight of the cyclist |
