Double Wedge! (Hard Version)

Find the T i m e \color{#3D99F6}{Time} P e r i o d \color{#3D99F6}{Period} (in second) of the above system(ball), i.e. the time taken by ball to reach the initial point again from start. System is released from rest. For integration value, refer 5th point

Conditions in statement

  • All surfaces are s m o o t h \color{#3D99F6}{smooth} .

  • Wedges are c i r c u l a r \color{#3D99F6}{circular} in nature with radius R = 20 m \color{#3D99F6}{R = 20m} . Distance between wedges is 40 m \color{#3D99F6}{40m}

  • Height of ball from ground is H = 20 m \color{#3D99F6}{H = 20m}

  • Take acceleration due to gravity g = 10 m / s 2 \color{#3D99F6}{g = 10m/s^2}

  • Take 0 π 2 d θ sin θ = 2.62 \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{d\theta}{\sqrt{\sin\theta}} = 2.62

Time taken to get down the wedge

s i n θ = h R sin\theta = \frac{h}{R}

h = R s i n θ \boxed{h = R sin\theta}

Using conservation of energy

m g ( 20 ) = m g ( 20 h ) + 1 2 m v 2 mg(20) = mg(20 - h) + \frac12mv^2

v = 2 g h = 2 g R s i n θ \boxed{v = \sqrt{2gh} = \sqrt{2gRsin\theta}}

Now,

v = d s d t v = \frac{ds}{dt}

v = R d θ d t v = \frac{Rd\theta}{dt}

2 g R s i n θ = R d θ d t \sqrt{2gRsin\theta} = \frac{Rd\theta}{dt}

0 t 1 d t = R 2 g 0 π / 2 d θ s i n θ \int_0^{t_1} dt = \sqrt{\frac{R}{2g}} \int_0^{π/2} \frac{d\theta}{\sqrt{sin\theta}}

t 1 = 20 2 ( 10 ) × 2.62 t_1 = \sqrt{\frac{20}{2(10)}} × 2.62

t 1 = 2.62 s \color{#3D99F6}{\boxed{t_1 = 2.62s}}

Velocity of ball after reaching ground

u = 2 ( 10 ) ( 20 ) s i n ( 90 ° ) u = \sqrt{2(10)(20)sin(90°)}

u = 20 m / s \color{#20A900}{\boxed{u = 20m/s}}

Time taken to cross road

t 2 = 40 u t_2 = \frac{40}{u}

t 2 = 2 s \color{#3D99F6}{\boxed{t_2 = 2s}}

Time taken to climb second wedge

By symmetry

t 3 = t 1 t_3 = t_1

t 3 = 2.62 s \color{#3D99F6}{\boxed{t_3 = 2.62s}}

Time period

T = 2 ( t 1 + t 2 + t 3 ) T = 2(t_1 + t_2 + t_3)

T = 14.48 s \color{#3D99F6}{\boxed{T = 14.48s}}
