A blockof icestarts slidingdown from the topof an inclinedroofof a alonga lineof the greatestslope. Theinclination of the roof withthe horizontal is 30^(@). Theheights of thehighestand lowerst points of the roof are 8.1 m and 5.6 mrespectively.Atwhathorizontal distancefrom the lowest point will the blockhitthe ground ? Neglect air friction .[g=9.8m//s^(2)].

Answer»

Solution :Accelerationof the block ALONGTHE greatestslope is equal to `a = g sin30^(@)` .
Distancetravelled by the block along the greatestslope is equal to `S = ((8.1 - 5.6))/(sin 30^(@)) = 5m`
Ifu be the speed of the blockwhen it justaboutto leavethe roofthen
`u^(2) = 0+ 2 g sin 30^(@)30^(@) xx5rArru = 7 m//s`
If thebe the timetaken to hitthe groundthen
`5.6 = u sin 30^(@) t + (1)/(2) gt^(2)= (7)/(2)t + (1)/(2) XX 9.8 t^(2)`
`rArr 7t^(2) + 5t - 8 = 0`
` t = (-5+pm sqrt(25-(4)(7)xx(8)))/(2xx7)`
`rArr t = (-5pm 15.78)/(14) ` , -vevalueis to be rejected , `i.e., t = (-5+15.78)/(14) = 0.77 sec`
Horizontal distancetravelled is equal to .
`x = u cos 30^(@) t = (7 sqrt(3))/(2) xx (10.78)/(14) m RARRX = 4.67 m `
