Problem 19
A small disc of mass \(m\) slides down a smooth hill of height \(h\) without any initial velocity and lands upon a plank of mass \(M\) lying along the horizontal plane at the base of the hill. Due to friction between the disc and the plank the disc slows down till the two move together as a single piece with a certain common velocity. Find the work done by the force of friction in the process. Solution Since mass \(m\) falls through hcight \(h\) just before landing on the plank of mass \(M\), so velocity of at this moment is \(v-\sqrt{2 g h}\). Now, the frictional force betwcen \(M\) and \(m\) is the internal force the system so momentum of system remains conserved. I lence, \(m v-(M \mid m) v^{\prime}\) or \(v^{\prime}-\frac{m v}{M+m}\) or \(v^{\prime}-\frac{m \sqrt{2 g h}}{M+m}\) So, initial kinetic cnergy of the system \(K_{i}-\frac{1}{2} m v^{2} \quad\) or \(\quad K_{i}-m g h\) \(\ldots(2)\) and linal kinctic cnergy of the system \(K_{f}-\frac{1}{2}(M+m) v^{\prime 2}-\frac{1}{2}(M+m) \frac{m^{2} \times 2 g h}{(M+m)^{2}} \quad \Rightarrow K_{f}-\frac{m^{2} g h}{M+m} \quad \ldots(3)\) So, change of cnergy \(\Delta K-K_{f} K_{t} \Rightarrow \Delta K-\frac{m M g h}{M \mid m}\) Hence, work-done by friction \(W-\Delta K \quad \therefore W--\frac{m M g h}{M \mathrm{I} m}\)
