Q.

Two smooth slides lie within the same vertical plane and make angles α to the horizontal (see the figure). At some moment, two small balls are released from points. A and B and they start sliding down. It took time t1 for the first ball that started from point A to reach the ground; for the second one the time of descent was t2. At what time t was distance between the balls the smallest?

Distance between balls will be minimum when they are along same vertical line

AB=12gsinα(t12t22)

AB2=12gsinαt2

t=t12t222=2.82
