Two particles are projected simultaneously from two points, O and O' such that d is the horizontal distance and h is the vertical distance between them. They are projected at the same inclination
to the horizontal with the same speed v. The time after which their separation becomes minimum is-

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsC
As the vertical component of velocity of both the particles is same.
⇒
= 0
So the distance h between them will be constant with time and
= 2v cos α
Total distance between the particles is minimum when horizontal distance between them is zero.
⇒ t =
