Let $m, n, k$ be positive integers such that $k\le mn$. Let $S$ be the set consisting of the $(m + 1)$-by-$(n + 1)$ rectangular array of points on the Cartesian plane with coordinates $(i, j)$ where $i, j$ are integers satisfying $0\le i\le m$ and $0\le j\le n$.

[b]9.[/b] Lep $p$ be a connected non-closed broken line without self-intersection in the plane $\varphi $. Prove that if $v$ is a non-zero vector in $\varphi $ and $p$ has a commom point with the broken line $p+v$, then $p$ has a common point with the broken line $p+\alpha v$ too, where $\alpha =\frac{1}{n}$ and $n$ is a positive integer. Does a similar statemente hold for other positive values of $\alpha$? ($p+v$ denotes the broken line obtained from $p$ through displacemente by the vector $v$.) [b](G. 1)[/b]

A spherical shell of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is completely filled with a frictionless fluid, also of mass M. It is released from rest, and then it rolls without slipping down an incline that makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. What will be the acceleration of the shell down the incline just after it is released? Assume the acceleration of free fall is $g$. The moment of inertia of a thin shell of radius $r$ and mass $m$ about the center of mass is $I = \frac{2}{3}mr^2$; the momentof inertia of a solid sphere of radius r and mass m about the center of mass is $I = \frac{2}{5}mr^2$. $\textbf{(A) } g \sin \theta \\ \textbf{(B) } \frac{3}{4} g \sin \theta\\ \textbf{(C) } \frac{1}{2} g \sin \theta\\ \textbf{(D) } \frac{3}{8} g \sin \theta\\ \textbf{(E) } \frac{3}{5} g \sin \theta$
