Question

Small beads of mass 4.5 g each are dropped from height h = 20m on to a floor at a constant rate of 1000 beads per second. If the collision is perfectly inelastic the force acting on the floor at t = 10 second after they start hitting the floor is _____N.

Solution

Mg' of beads which has fallen till t = 10 sec

=1000×10×4.51000×10=450N

Rate of change of momentum   dpdt=dmdt×v

=1000×451000×20=90N

Total force         = 450 + 90 = 540 N
