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 s. The value of t is . (use )

Correct answer: 2
- Motion from to
The block is projected up the incline with just sufficient velocity to reach the top point .
So at , its speed becomes zero.
Since the vertical height gained is , by energy conservation:
Now from the figure, incline makes angle with the horizontal, so retardation along the incline is
Using
At the top, , so
- Motion from to
The block starts from rest at and slides down incline .
From the figure, incline makes angle with the horizontal, so acceleration along this incline is
The vertical height descended is again , so length of incline is
Using
- Total time from to
Given total time is
Comparing,
- Final Answer
The derived answer matches the stored correct answer.
