An explosive of mass 6 kg is projected at 35 m/sec at an angle of 60 0 with the horizontal. At the top of its flight it explodes, breaking into two parts, one of which has twice the mass of the other. The two fragments land simultaneously. The lighter fragment lands back to launch point- (g = 9.8 m/s 2 )
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
(a, b, d)
By mass moment
m 1 × x 1 = m 2 × x 2
m R = 2m × x 2
x 2 = R/2
Distance from launch point = 3R/2
R = 
= 108 m
