Three particles are projected in the air with the minimum possible speeds, such that the first goes from AA to BB, the second goes from BB to CC and the third goes from CC to AA. Points AA and CC are at the same horizontal level. The two inclines make the same angle α\alpha with the horizontal, as shown. The relation among the projection speeds of the three particles is

Options

  1. Au3=u1+u2{u}_{3} = {u}_{1} + {u}_{2}
  2. Bu32=2u1u2{u}_{3}^{2} = 2{u}_{1}{u}_{2}
  3. C1u3=1u1+1u2\dfrac{1}{{u}_{3}} = \dfrac{1}{{u}_{1}} + \dfrac{1}{{u}_{2}}
  4. Du32=u12+u22{u}_{3}^{2} = {u}_{1}^{2} + {u}_{2}^{2}

Correct answer

B. u32=2u1u2{u}_{3}^{2} = 2{u}_{1}{u}_{2}

Step-by-step solution

For a given speed,

the maximum range of a projectile on a horizontal level is

{R}_\max = \dfrac{u2}{g}

the maximum range up and down the incline are

\left({R}_{up}\right)max = \dfrac{u2}{g\left(1 + sin\alpha\right)}\left({R}_{down}\right)max = \dfrac{u2}{g\left(1 - sin\alpha\right)}</p><p>bysubstitutingthevaluesofthevelocitiesgivenintheproblem,weget</p><p></p><p>by substituting the values of the velocities given in the problem, we get</p><p>R = {u}_{2}^{2}g\left(1 + sin \alpha\right) ⇒ {u}_{2}^{2} = Rg\left(1 + sin \alpha\right) \ldots ( 1 )<br/><br />2Rcos \alpha = {u}_{3}^{2}g ⇒ {u}_{3}^{2} = 2Rgcos \alpha \ldots ( 2 )<br/>Now,<br />Now,{u}_{1}{u}_{2} = Rg\sqrt{1 - \sin^{2} \alpha} = Rgcos\alpha = \dfrac{{u}_{3}^{2}}{2}<br/><br />∴ {u}_{3}^{2} = 2{u}_{1}{u}_{2}$
