Question

System is shown in the figure. Assume that cylinder remains in contact with the two wedges. The velocity of cylinder is -    

Options

A. m/s
B. m/s
C.√3u m/s
D.√7u m/s

Solution

(D)
Method - I
As cylinder will remains in contact with wedge A
           Vx = 2u

As it also remain in contact with wedge B
u sin 30o = Vy cos30° – Vx sin30o
Vy = Vx
Vy = Vx  tan30o + u tan 30o
              Vy = 3u tan30o = √3 u
V = = √7 u Ans.
Method - II 
In the frame of A

        3u sin 30o = Vycos30o           
⇒    Vy = 3u tan 30o =  √3u
and      Vx = 2u         ⇒    V = = √7 u Ans.
