We know that
And for stable equilibrium :
1.
2. At the point of stable there should be a restoring force. That means if the particle displaces in negative direction, it should be acted upon by a force in positive direction.
In the case and the first case isn't satisfied.
Whereas in case of the second case isn't satisfied.

Passage I
We sometimes encounter examples where a large force acts for very short duration of time producing an appreciable and finite change in linear momentum of the body. Such forces are know as impulsive forces. As an example, consider two identical cricket balls of mass and initial speed , approaching a rigid wall. One ball strikes the wall normally and rebounds with same speed. Another ball strikes the wall making and angle of from normal and is elastically reflected back as shown in figure. Now answer the following questions.

The force exerted on the wall by ball I and ball II is
  1. parallel to the wall for both the balls
  2. normal to the wall for both the balls
  3. normal to the wall for ball number 1 and inclined at to the horizontal for 2 nd ball
  4. normal to the wall for 1 st ball and inclined at to the vertical for 2 nd ball

Figure-. shows a rough horizontal plane which ends in a vertical wall, to which a spring is connected, having a force constant . Initially, spring is in its relaxed state. A block of mass starts with an initial velocity towards the spring from a distance from the end of spring shown. When block strikes at the end of the spring, it compresses the spring and comes to rest. Find the maximum compression in the spring. The friction coefficient between the block and the floor is .
