A water sprinkler is positioned at O on ...

A water sprinkler is positioned at O on horizontal ground. It issues water drops in every possible direction with fixed speed u. This way the sprinkler is able to completely wet a circular area of the ground (see fig). A horizontal wind starts blowing at a speed of `(u)/(2sqrt(2))`.Mark the area on the ground that the sprinkler will now be able to wet.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A circle of same size shifted from the original circle by `DeltaX = (u^(2))/(2g)` in the direction of wind.

Two guns A and B can fire bullets at speeds 1 km/s and 2 km/s respectively. From a point on a horizontal ground, they ared fired in all possible directions. The ratio of maximum areas covered by the bullets fired by the two guns, on the ground is :

A man of mass m is standing on the flat top of a cart of mass 2m . The length and height of the cart is L and H respectively and it is at rest on a smooth horizontal ground. The man starts running from end A, speeds up and jumps out of the cart at point B with a velocity u relative to the cart in horizontal direction. Calculate the total horizontal distance covered by the man by the time he lands on the ground.

A massive horizontal platform is moving horizontally with a constant acceleration of 10 m//s^(2) as shown in the figure. A particlem P of mass m=1 kg is kept at rest on a smooth surface as shown in the figure. The particle is hinged at O with the help of a massless rod OP of length 0.9 m. Hinge O is fixed on the platform and the rod can freely rotate about O. Now the particle P is imparted a velocity in the opposite direction of the platform's acceleration such that it is just able to complete the circular motion about point O. Then the maximum tension (in N) appearing in the rod during the motion is 10 n. Find the value of n
