Let there are three equal masses situated at the vertices of an equilateral triangle, as shown in figure. Now particle A starts with a velocity v1 towards line A B, particle B starts with the velocity v2 towards line B C and particle C starts with velocity v3 towards line C A. Find the displacement of the centre of mass of the three particles A, B and C after time t . What would it be if v1=v2=v3 ?

Figure shows a flat car of mass M on a frictionless road. A small massless wedge is fitted on it as shown. A small ball of mass m is released from the top of the wedge, it slides over it and falls in the hole at distance l from the initial position of the ball. Find the distance the flat car moves till the ball gets into the hole.

A cart of mass M is at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface and a pendulum bob of mass m hangs from the roof of the cart. The string breaks, the bob falls on the floor, makes several collisions on the floor and finally lands up in a small slot made in the floor. The horizontal distance between the string and the slot is L. Find the displacement of the cart during this process.
