JEE Advanced2006PhysicsCenter of Mass, Momentum and CollisionActual
There is a rectangular plate of mass M ~kg of dimensions (a b) . The plate is held in horizontal position by striking n small balls each of mass m per unit area per unit time. These are striking in the shaded half region of the plate. The balls are colliding elastically with velocity v . What is v ? It is given n=100, M=3 ~kg , m=0.01 ~kg ; b=2 ~m ; a=1 ~m ; g=10 ~m / s ^2 .
Correct answer
10
Step-by-step solution
F= p t =n (a b 2 ) (2 m v) Equating the torque about hinge side, we have n (a b 2 ) (2 m v) 3 b 4 =M g b 2 Substituting the given values we get, v=10 ~m / s
