A wedge (free to move) of mass ' M ' has one face making an angle α with horizontal and is resting on a smooth rigid

floor. A particle of mass ' m ' hits the inclined face of the wedge with a horizontal velocity v0. It is observed that the particle rebounds in vertical direction after impact. Neglect friction between particle and the wedge and take M=2 m, v0=10 m s-1, tanα=2, g=10 m s-2. Determine the coefficient of restitution for the impact.
