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.
