A coordinate axis system taking -axis as horizontal smooth floor is shown in figure. Two small balls of masses and attached with a string are released from some heights on -axis as shown in figure. The balls may collide head on or obliquely. After a certain time mass is at while mass is above the axis and the string is taut. The balls always remain in plane. Find the length of string (in )



Important Questions on Impulse and Collision
A boy is playing carom board. Strikers is moving with velocity and queen is at rest. See angle in the figure. Mass of and are and Friction is absent and coefficient of resistution is If after collision moves along direction and moves along perpendicular to Find the value of coefficient of restitution.

Mass of a particle and a hemisphere are and respectively. Particle hits the hemisphere (at rest on smooth surface) with a horizontal velocity and rebounds in vertical direction after collision (neglect friction), if the value of (in degree) (collision is elastic):

The centres of the spheres and lie on a single straight line. Sphere is moving with an (initial) velocity directed along this line and hits sphere . Sphere acquires a velocity after collision, it hits sphere . Both collisions are perfectly elastic. What must be the mass of sphere for the sphere to acquire maximum velocity (The masses and of spheres and are and respectively).
