First I started with Q, according to given condition
R d t d ω = R v 2 (Let the velocity of particle at any arbitrary point be v )
So
d t d ω = ω 2
On integrating we get
− ω 1 = t + C
At t = 0 ω = R v 0
So C = − v 0 R
So the equation becomes
− ω 1 = t − v 0 R
So on substituting ω = d t d θ we get
∫ 0 T v 0 R − t d t = ∫ 0 π d θ
So, ln ( v R − t ) = − π
or ( v R − t ) = e − π
On putting values I got t = 0 . 7 5 6
Now for Particle P
It follows a projectile motion with range = 2 R
g v 2 s i n ( 2 θ ) = 2 R .........(1)
And Time of flight of projectile
T 0 = g 2 v s i n ( θ )
On putting value and using eq(1)
I got T 0 = 1 . 7 6
So it is clear that particle Q won the race so the answer is 1 . 7 6 − 0 . 7 5 + 5 . 3 1 = 6 . 3 2 .
