Centre of Mass 4 Question 8

9. A cylindrical solid of mass 102kg and cross-sectional area 104m2 is moving parallel to its axis (the x-axis) with a uniform speed of 103m/s in the positive direction. At t=0, its front face passes the plane x=0. The region to the right of this plane is filled with stationary dust particles of uniform density 103kg/m3. When a dust particle collides with the face of the cylinder, it sticks to its surface. Assuming that the dimensions of the cylinder remain practically unchanged and that the dust sticks only to the front face of the cylinder find the x-coordinate of the front of the cylinder at t=150s.

Answer:

Correct Answer: 9. 105m

Solution:

  1. Given, m0=102kg,A=104m2,v0=103m/s

and ρdust =ρ=103kg/m3.

m=m0+ mass of dust collected so far =m0+Axρdustm=m0+Axρ

The linear momentum at t=0 is

p0=m0v0 and momentum at t=t is pt=mv=(m0+Axρ)v

From law of conservation of momentum

p0=ptm0v0=(m0+Axρ)vm0v0=(m0+Axρ)dxdt or (m0+Aρx)dx=m0v0dt or 0x(m0+Aρx)dx=0150m0v0dtm0x+Aρx22=(m0v0t)0150 Hence, m0x+Aρx22=150m0v0

Solving this quadratic equation and substituting the values of m0A, ρ and v0, we get positive value of x as 105m. Therefore, x=105m.
