Problem

A wedge of mass

M = 4m

lies on a frictionless plane. A particle of mass

m

approaches the wedge with speed

v

. There is no friction between the particle and the plane or between the particle and the wedge. The maximum height climbed by the particle on the wedge is given by: (a)

\frac{v^2}{g}

(b)

\frac{2v^2}{7g}

(c)

\frac{2v^2}{5g}

(d)

\frac{v^2}{2g}
