JEE Advanced · Physics · 7. COM & Collisions

There is a rectangular plate of mass \(M \mathrm{~kg}\) of dimensions \((a \times b)\). 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 \(n=100, M=3 \mathrm{~kg}, m=0.01 \mathrm{~kg}\); \(b=2 \mathrm{~m} ; a=1 \mathrm{~m} ; g=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\).

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 10

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}=n \times\left(a \times \frac{b}{2}\right) \times(2 m v)\)
Equating the torque about hinge side, we have
\(
n \times\left(a \times \frac{b}{2}\right) \times(2 m v) \times \frac{3 b}{4}=M g \times \frac{b}{2}
\)
Substituting the given values we get,
\(
v=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}
\)
