Momentum and CollisionHard

Question

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) :
                                         

Options

D.Zero

Solution

Space between the supports for motion of beads is L - 2nr
F =
