Detailed Solution

The momentum which the 10 Kg dumb-bell will transfer to the floor if it falls from a height of 80 cm is 40 kg m/s.
Based on the given conditions:
Dumb-bell’s mass (m) = 10 kg
Height (h)= 80 cm  
=80100 m (As 1 m = 100 cm)
=0.8 m
Initial velocity (u) =0 m/s
Final velocity =v
Acceleration due to gravity  (g) = 10 m/s2
Putting these values in the equation v2-u2 =2gh
 v2-(0) = 2×10 ×0.8 m
v2= 16 m2/s2
v= 4 m/s
So, the final velocity is 4 m/s.
The law of conservation of momentum states “the momentum of a system is constant if no external forces are acting on the system”.
We know, momentum = m×v
                                    p = 10 kg×4 m/s
                                    p = 40 kg m/s
By the law of conservation of momentum, this entire momentum will be transferred to the floor.
