A large number \((n)\) of identical beads, each of mass \(m\) and radius \(r\) are strung on a thin smooth rigid horizontal rod of length \(L\, (L >> r)\) and are at rest at random positions. The rod is mounted between two rigid supports (see figure) . If one of the beads is now given a speed \(v\), the average force experienced by each support after a long time is (assume all collisions are elastic)

Pick an option to check your answer.

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{{m{v^2}}}{{L - 2nr}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Space between the supports rm for motion of beads is \(L - 2nr\)

Average force experinced by each support \(F = \frac{{2mv}}{{\frac{{2\left( {L - 2nr} \right)}}{V}}} =\frac{{m{V^2}}}{{L - 2nr}}\)

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason \(R\). Assertion A : Efficiency of a reversible heat engine will be highest at \(-273^{\circ} C\) temperature of cold reservoir. Reason \(R\) : The efficiency of Carnot's engine depends not only on temperature of cold reservoir but it depends on the temperature of hot reservoir too and is given as \(\eta=\left(1-\frac{ T _2}{ T _1}\right)\). In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
