Six particles situated at the corners of...

Six particles situated at the corners of a regular hexagon of side a move at a constant speed v. Each particle maintains a direction towards the particle at the next corner. Calculate the time the particles will take to meet each other.

A

`2d//3v`

B

`2d//v`

C

`3d//2v`

D

`4d//3v`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`(v_(A//B))_(x)=v-v cos 60^(@)=v/2`
`t=d/(v//2)=(2d)/v`
