An open knife of mass m is dropped from a height h on a wooden floor. If the blade penetrates up to the depth d into the wood. The average resistance offered by the wood to the knife edge is to the depth d into the wood, the average resistance offered by the wood to the knife edge is .A. `mg (1 + (h)/(d))`B. `mg (1 + (h)/(d))^(2)`C. `mg(1-h/d)`D. `mg (1 + /(h))`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Decerase in potential energy =Work done against friction
`:. Mg (h + d) = F.d`
here `F =` average resistance
`rArr F =mg(1 + (h)/(d))`
