Question

Two particles A and B are projected from point O with equal speeds. They both hit the point P of an inclined plane of inclination 15o. Particle A is projected at an angle 30o with inclined plane. If the ratio of time of flight of particles A and B is 1:n. The value of n is ________.

Difficult
Solution

y=uyt+12ayt2

 Or  0=uyT12gcos30T2 T=2uygcos30=4uy103 TA=4usin15103      ......(i) and  TB=4usinα103

where, α is angle of projection of particle B,

 R=uxT+12axT2     ......(ii)

 Or  R=ucos60TA12gsin30TA2

=(ucosα)TB12gsin30TB2 Or  ucos60×4usin6010312gsin30TA2=(ucosα)TB12gsin30TB2

Putting the value of TA and TB,

    α=901530=45     TATB=4usin301034usinα103=sin30sinα=2×12=12=1:n     n=2
