Read the following paragraph carefully and answer the following: Tie a stone to one end of a string. Take the other end in your hand and rotate the string so that the stone moves along a circle. As long as we are holding the string, we are pulling the stone towards us i.e. towards the centre of the circle and are appliying a force towards it. The force stops acting on it if we release the string. In this case, the stone will fly off along a straight line which is the tangent to the circle at the position of the stone when the string is released, because that the directionn of its velocity at that instant of time. You may recall a similar activity in which a 5 rupee coin kept on a rotating circular disc flies off the disc along the tangent to the disc. Thus, a force acts on any object moving along a circle and it is directed towards the centre of the circle. This is called the Centripetal force. The impressed force on the same is in which direction?

Two concave mirrors of equal radii of curvature R are fixed on a stand facing opposite directions. The whole system has a mass m and is kept on a frictionless horizonal table. Two blocks A and B, each of mass m, are placed on the two side of the stand. At t=0, the separation between A and the mirrors is 2R and also the separation between B and the mirrors is 2R. The block B moves towards the mirror at a speed v. All collisions which take place are elastic. Taking the original position of the mirrors stand system to be x=0 and X -axis along AB, find the position of the image of A and B at t= a.) R/(upsilon) , b.) (3R)/(upsilon) c.) (5R)/(upsilon)
