$A$ uniform thin wooden plank $AB$ of length $L$ and mass $M$ is kept on a table with its $B$ end slightly outside the edge of the table. When an impulse $J$ is given to the end $B$,the plank moves up with the centre of mass rising a distance $h$ from the surface of the table. Then,

  • A
    $h > 9 J^{2} / 8 M^{2} g$
  • B
    $h = J^{2} / 2 M^{2} g$
  • C
    $J^{2} / 2 M^{2} g < h < 9 J^{2} / 8 M^{2} g$
  • D
    $h < J^{2} / 2 M^{2} g$
