The direction of motion of a projectile ...

The direction of motion of a projectile at a certain instant is inclined at an angle `60^(@)` to the horizontal. After `sqrt(3)` seconds it is inclined an angle `30^(@)`. If the horizontal compound of velocity of projection is `3n` (in `m//sec)` then value of n is : `(take g = 10 m//s^(2))`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the projectile motion of the object and use the given angles and time to find the value of \( n \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: - The projectile's direction changes from \( 60^\circ \) to \( 30^\circ \) after \( \sqrt{3} \) seconds. - The horizontal component of the velocity of projection is given as \( 3n \) m/s. 2. **Components of Initial Velocity**: - Let the initial velocity of projection be \( u \). - The horizontal component of the initial velocity \( u_x = u \cos(60^\circ) = \frac{u}{2} \). - The vertical component of the initial velocity \( u_y = u \sin(60^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}u}{2} \). 3. **Vertical Velocity After \( \sqrt{3} \) Seconds**: - The vertical velocity \( v_y \) after \( \sqrt{3} \) seconds can be calculated using the formula: \[ v_y = u_y - g t \] - Substituting the values: \[ v_y = \frac{\sqrt{3}u}{2} - 10 \cdot \sqrt{3} \] 4. **Using the Angle at \( \sqrt{3} \) Seconds**: - At \( \sqrt{3} \) seconds, the projectile is inclined at \( 30^\circ \). - The tangent of the angle gives us the relationship between the vertical and horizontal components of the velocity: \[ \tan(30^\circ) = \frac{v_y}{u_x} \] - Since \( \tan(30^\circ) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \), we have: \[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{\frac{\sqrt{3}u}{2} - 10\sqrt{3}}{\frac{u}{2}} \] 5. **Cross-Multiplying and Simplifying**: - Cross-multiplying gives: \[ u - 20 = \sqrt{3} \left( \frac{\sqrt{3}u}{2} - 10\sqrt{3} \right) \] - Simplifying further: \[ u - 20 = \frac{3u}{2} - 30 \] - Rearranging the equation: \[ 2u - 40 = 3u - 60 \] - This simplifies to: \[ 60 - 40 = 3u - 2u \implies u = 20 \text{ m/s} \] 6. **Finding the Horizontal Component**: - The horizontal component of the initial velocity is: \[ u_x = \frac{u}{2} = \frac{20}{2} = 10 \text{ m/s} \] 7. **Relating to \( 3n \)**: - We know \( u_x = 3n \): \[ 10 = 3n \] - Solving for \( n \): \[ n = \frac{10}{3} \approx 3.33 \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( n \) is \( \frac{10}{3} \).
