JEE MainPhysicsLaws of MotionNumerical+4 / −1
Two inclined planes are placed as shown in figure. A block is projected from the Point A of inclined plane AB along its surface with a velocity just sufficient to carry it to the top Point B at a height 10 m. After reaching the Point B the block slides down on inclined plane BC. Time it takes to reach to the point C from point A is t(2+1)t(\sqrt{2}+1)t(2​+1) s. The value of t is ‾\underline{\hspace{2cm}}​.

Correct answer: 2

  1. Motion from AAA to BBB

The block is projected up the incline ABABAB with just sufficient velocity to reach the top point BBB.

So at BBB, its speed becomes zero.

Since the vertical height gained is h=10 mh=10\,\text{m}h=10m, by energy conservation:

12mu2=mgh\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = mgh21​mu2=mgh

u2=2gh=2⋅10⋅10=200u^2 = 2gh = 2\cdot 10\cdot 10 = 200u2=2gh=2⋅10⋅10=200

u=102 m/su = 10\sqrt{2}\,\text{m/s}u=102​m/s

Now from the figure, incline ABABAB makes angle 45∘45^\circ45∘ with the horizontal, so retardation along the incline is

a1=gsin⁡45∘=102=52 m/s2a_1 = g\sin 45^\circ = \frac{10}{\sqrt{2}} = 5\sqrt{2}\,\text{m/s}^2a1​=gsin45∘=2​10​=52​m/s2

Using

v=u−a1t1v = u-a_1 t_1v=u−a1​t1​

At the top, v=0v=0v=0, so

0=102−52 t10 = 10\sqrt{2} - 5\sqrt{2}\, t_10=102​−52​t1​

t1=2 st_1 = 2\,\text{s}t1​=2s


  1. Motion from BBB to CCC

The block starts from rest at BBB and slides down incline BCBCBC.

From the figure, incline BCBCBC makes angle 30∘30^\circ30∘ with the horizontal, so acceleration along this incline is

a2=gsin⁡30∘=10⋅12=5 m/s2a_2 = g\sin 30^\circ = 10\cdot \frac{1}{2} = 5\,\text{m/s}^2a2​=gsin30∘=10⋅21​=5m/s2

The vertical height descended is again 10 m10\,\text{m}10m, so length of incline BCBCBC is

BC=10sin⁡30∘=101/2=20 mBC = \frac{10}{\sin 30^\circ} = \frac{10}{1/2} = 20\,\text{m}BC=sin30∘10​=1/210​=20m

Using

s=12a2t22s = \frac{1}{2}a_2 t_2^2s=21​a2​t22​

20=12⋅5⋅t2220 = \frac{1}{2}\cdot 5\cdot t_2^220=21​⋅5⋅t22​

20=52t2220 = \frac{5}{2}t_2^220=25​t22​

t22=8t_2^2 = 8t22​=8

t2=22 st_2 = 2\sqrt{2}\,\text{s}t2​=22​s


  1. Total time from AAA to CCC

T=t1+t2=2+22=2(1+2) sT = t_1 + t_2 = 2 + 2\sqrt{2} = 2(1+\sqrt{2})\,\text{s}T=t1​+t2​=2+22​=2(1+2​)s

Given total time is

t(2+1) st(\sqrt{2}+1)\,\text{s}t(2​+1)s

Comparing,

t=2t = 2t=2


  1. Final Answer

2\boxed{2}2​

The derived answer matches the stored correct answer.
