Question

A cannon of mass M located at the base of an inclined plane, shoots a shell of mass m in a horizontal direction with velocity v. To what vertial, heigh does the cannon ascend the inclined plane as a result of recoil, if the angle of inclination of the plane if `alpha` and the coefficient of friction between the cannon and the plane is `mu.`

Answer 1

Correct Answer - `"["h=(m^(2)v^(2)sinalpha)/(2M^(2)g(sinalpha+mucosalpha))"]"`
