An L-shaped elastic member ABC with slender arms AB and BC of uniform cross-section is clamped at end A and connected to a pin at end C. The pin remains in contact with and is constrained to move in a smooth horizontal slot. The section modulus of the member is same in both the arms. The end C is subjected to a horizontal force
and all the deflections are in the plane of the figure. Given the length AB is
and length BC is
, the magnitude and direction of the normal force on the pin from the slot, respectively, are

A rigid homogeneous uniform block of mass 1 kg, height
m and width
m is pinned at one corner and placed upright in a uniform gravitational field (
m/s
), supported by a roller in the configuration shown in the figure. A short duration (impulse) force
, producing an impulse
, is applied at a height of
m from the bottom as shown. Assume all joints to be frictionless. The minimum value of
