A block of mass M is tied to one end of a massless rope. The other end of the rope is in the hands of a man of mass 2M as shown in the figure. The block and the man are resting on a rough wedge of mass M as shown in the figure. The whole system is resting on a smooth horizontal surface. The man pulls the rope. Pulley is massless and frictionless. What is the displacement of the wedge when the block meets the pulley. (Man does not leve his position during the pull)

A continuous stream of particles of mass m and velocity v, is emitted from a source at a rate of n per second. The particles travel along a straight line, collide with a body of mass M and are buried in this body. If the mass M was originally at rest, its velocity when it has received N particles will be
