A projectile of mass 200 g is launched in a viscous medium at an angle with the horizontal, with an initial velocity of . It experiences a viscous drag force where the drag coefficient and is the instantaneous velocity of the projectile. The projectile hits a vertical wall after 2 s . Taking , the horizontal distance of the wall from the point of projection (in m ) is .

Correct answer: 167TO171
- Given data
- Mass of projectile:
- Initial speed:
- Projection angle:
- Drag force: , with
- Time to hit wall:
- Take
We need the horizontal distance of the wall.
- Horizontal motion equation
Since drag is proportional to velocity, along the horizontal direction:
So,
This gives
where
Now,
Hence,
- Horizontal displacement
Horizontal position is
Using
we get
At ,
Given , we use
Therefore,
- Final answer
The horizontal distance of the wall is
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer:
Our answer lies in this range, so it agrees.
