An object of mass is projected from center of earth along a smoot tunnel dug along te horizontal diameter as shown in the figure. Then choose the conditon on values of v for the object to cross P at least twice.

A

`(sqrt(gR))/(2)ltVltsqrt(gR)`

B

`(sqrt(gR))ltVltsqrt(3gR)`

C

`sqrt(gR)//2ltVltsqrt(3gR)`

D

`sqrt(gR)//4ltVltsqrt(3gR)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`(mv_(E)^(2))/(2)(-3)/(2)(GmM)/(R)=0` [for escape velocity `V_(E)]`
`V_(E)=sqrt(3gR)`
for S.H.M in tunnel `[omega=sqrt(g//R)]`
`V_(Max)=omegaA=(sqrt((g)/(R)))(R)/(2)=(sqrt(gR))/(2)`

Two towers AB and CD are situated a distance d apart as shown in figure. AB is 20 m high and CD is 30 m high from the ground. An object of mass m is thrown from the top of AB horizontally with a velocity of 10 m/s towards CD. Simultaneously another object of mass 2 m is thrown from the top of CD at an angle 60^@ below the horizontal towards AB with the same magnitude of initial velocity as that of the first object. The two objects move in the same vertical plane, collide in mid-air and stick to each other. Find the distance from B where the objects hit the ground.
