The inclined surfaces of two movable wedges of same mass $M$ are smoothly conjugated with the horizontal plane as shown in the figure. $A$ washer of mass $m$ slides down the left wedge from a height $h$. To what maximum height will the washer rise along the right wedge? Neglect friction.

  • A
    $\frac{h}{{{{(M + m)}^2}}}$
  • B
    $\frac{{hM}}{{{{(M + m)}^2}}}$
  • C
    $h{\left( {\frac{M}{{M + m}}} \right)^2}$
  • D
    $h\left( {\frac{M}{{M + m}}} \right)$

Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are connected by a string of length $l$. They are held in a horizontal plane at a height $H$ above two heavy plates $A$ and $B$ made of different materials placed on the floor. Initially,the distance between the two masses is $a < l$. When the masses are released under gravity,they collide with $A$ and $B$ with coefficients of restitution $e_1 = 0.8$ and $e_2 = 0.4$ respectively. Find the time after the collision when the string becomes tight. (Assume $H >> l$)

Two particles $P$ and $Q$ each of mass $3m$ lie at rest on the $X$-axis at points $(-a, 0)$ and $(+a, 0)$,respectively. $A$ third particle $R$ of mass $2m$ initially at the origin moves towards the particle $Q$ with velocity $v$. If all the collisions of the system of $3$ particles are elastic and head-on,the total number of collisions in the system is

$A$ light inextensible string that goes over a smooth fixed pulley as shown in the figure connects two blocks of masses $m_1 = 0.36 \text{ kg}$ and $m_2 = 0.72 \text{ kg}$.
