A symmetric block of mass m 1 = 1kg with a groove of hemispherical shape of radius r = 5m rests on a smooth horizontal surface in contact with the wall as shown in the figure. A small block of mass
m 2 = 1kg slides without friction from the initial position. Find the maximum velocity of the block m 1 .

CHECK THE SOLUTION.
(10)

Velocity At A → V 2 = 

Applying another momentum in horizontal direction conservation when m 2 again reaches pt A.
⇒ m 2
....(1)
energy conservation eqn.
m 2 gr =
m 1 V 1 2 +
m 2 V 2 2 .....(2)
m 2
put in (2) we get. (2)
V 1 =
