Question Number 106094 by Dwaipayan Shikari last updated on 02/Aug/20

Commented by Dwaipayan Shikari last updated on 02/Aug/20

Dwaipayan Shikari: The wedge's Surface is friction less (where the ball of mass 'm' will roll) and the friction coefficient between wedge and the ground is also negligible.( An oily surface ��) Calculate the velocity of the wedge when the ball will fly off. Additional information is on the picture

The ball will roll onthis circular track. An old unanswered question

if the friction between wedge and ground is zero (i.e. μ=0), then the question is very easy. but here we have the case that μ≠0.

$${if}\:{the}\:{friction}\:{between}\:{wedge}\:{and}\: \\ $$$${ground}\:{is}\:{zero}\:\left({i}.{e}.\:\mu=\mathrm{0}\right),\:{then}\:{the}\: \\ $$$${question}\:{is}\:{very}\:{easy}. \\ $$$${but}\:{here}\:{we}\:{have}\:{the}\:{case}\:{that}\:\mu\neq\mathrm{0}. \\ $$

to JDamian sir: the wedge M has also velocity!

$${to}\:{JDamian}\:{sir}: \\ $$$${the}\:{wedge}\:{M}\:{has}\:{also}\:{velocity}! \\ $$

U+KE=u+ke mgR+0=0+(1/2)mv^2 +(1/2)MV^2 2mgR=mv^2 +MV^2 →(a) Momentum of the system is conserved (M+m).0=MV+mv V=−((mv)/M) 2mgR=mv^2 +M.((m^2 v^2 )/M^2 ) 2gR=v^2 (1+(m/M)) v=(√((2gR)/((1+(m/M))))) V=−((mv)/M)=−(m/M)(√((2gR)/((1+(m/M))))) Frictional case: mgR=(1/2)MV^2 +(1/2)mv^2 +W_((by the frictional force))

This must be i think if friction is negligible
