The figure below shows the top view of a hollow cylindrical room having a frictionless floor. A block of mass m is projected with a speed v , on the smooth horizontal floor, along the wall of the room. The average normal force exerted by the cylindrical walls, on the block, during its motion from A to B is
Options
- Am v 2 R
- Bm v 2 π R
- C2 m v 2 R
- D2 m v 2 π R
Correct answer
D. 2 m v 2 π R
Step-by-step solution
The change in momentum of the block from A to B is Δ p = 2 m v The time it takes to move from A to B is Δ t = π R v The average force exerted by the wall on the block is F avg = ∆ p ∆ t = 2 m v 2 π R
