Blocks `A` and `B` each of mass `1kg` are moving with `4m//s` and `2m//s` respectively as shown. The coefficient of friction for all surface is `0.10`. Find the distance (in m) by which centre of mass will travell before coming to rest. Assume large distance between the blocks

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
3
Retardation of each block:
`a=mug=0.10xx10=1ms^2`
Distance travelled by A before it stops:
`x_1=u_1^2/(2a)=4^2/(2xx10=8m`
Distance travelled by B befoe it stops:
`x_2=u_2^2/(2a)=2^2/(2xx10=2m`
`/_\x_(CM)=(m_1x_1-m_2x_2)/(m_1+m_2)=(1xx8-1xx2)/(1+1)=3m`
