Marbles each of mass'm' are dropped from...

Marbles each of mass'm' are dropped from height 'h' on pan of a balance at the rate 'R' per sec. The balance calibrated in units of mass reads zero initially. If marbles are dropped continuously, what will the balance read after 't' sec ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Each marble hits the pan with velocity v = `sqrt(2gh)` and in 1 sec no. of marbles hitting the pan = R
`therefore` Force due to momentum change (Impact),
`F_(t) = mR sqrt(2gh)`, force fue to weight `F_(2)= mg.RT`
`therefore` Total reading.
F = mgRt + mR`sqrt(2gh) = mgR(t + sqrt((2h)/g))`

A box is put on a scale which is adjusted to read zero, when the box is empty. A stream of pebbles is then poured into the box from a height h above its bottom at a rate of n pebbles. Each pebble has a mass m. If the pebbles collide with the box such that they immediately come to rest after collision, the scale reading at time t after the pebbles begin to fill the box is
