A large , heavy box is sliding without friction down a smooth plane of inclination `theta` . From a point `P` on the bottom of the box , a particle is projected inside the box . The initial speed of the particle with respect to the box is `u` , and the direction of projection makes an angle `alpha` with the bottom as shown in Figure .
(a) Find the distance along the bottom of the box between the point of projection `p` and the point `Q` where the particle lands . ( Assume that the particle does not hit any other surface of the box . Neglect air resistance .)
(b) If the horizontal displacement of the particle as seen by an observer on the ground is zero , find the speed of the box with respect to the ground at the instant when particle was projected .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
(i) `(u^(2) sin 2 alpha)/(g cos theta)` (ii) `v=(u cos (alpha+0))/(cos theta)`
