The solid sphere of radius R = 1 cm initially spinning at ω0 = 300 rad/sec is dropped from a height H = 5m on a static (initially) wedge as shown. If between wedge and sphere and coefficient of restitution for the collision between them is , then the distance travelled by the wedge from the time instant of the sphere hitting the wedge till the instant, the sphere hits the ground for the first time is metres.

JN = M(vN + 8) .....(i)
Jf = µJN = M(–vt + 6) .....(ii)
and, JfR = ICM (ω + ω0) .....(iii)
For wedge just after collision
JN sin 37° – Jf cos 37° = 2Mv
⇒ JN = 6 Mv .....(iv)

and from Newton's formula
.....(v)
from (i), (iv) and (v),
and
from (ii),
Now, Sphere's time of flight till ground for first time

Distance moved by wedge during this duration = m
