A cannon of mass M starts sliding freely down a smooth inclined plane at an angle α to the horizontal. After the cannon covered the distance l, a shot was fired, the shell leaving the cannon in the horizontal direction with a momentum p. As a consequence, the cannon stopped instantly. Assuming the change in mass of the canon to be negligible due to shot, determine the duration of the shot.

Two balls A and B of masses 1 kg each are connected by an inextensible massless string. The system is resting on a smooth horizontal surface. An impulse of 10 N s is applied to the ball A at an angle 30° with the line joining two balls in horizontal direction as shown in the figure. Assuming that the string remains taut after impulse, if the magnitude of kinetic energy of ball A is 175k. Find the value of  'k'.
