(a)
Boulder will land on the road or beyond if
Answer to Problem 13.173P
The horizontal distance travelled by the rock is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Rock A falls from a distance of
The total linear momentum of two particles is conserved. Therefore
The co-efficient of restitution is defined as
For a uniformly accelerated motion
In above equation
Calculation:
Assume
Apply conservation of linear momentum in direction t.
Substitute
Apply co-efficient of restitution equation in direction n.
Substitute

Velocity in y direction
Assume t as the time that takes for the rod to reach the ground.
Substitute
Solve
Find the horizontal distance
Substitute
Conclusion:
The horizontal distance travelled by the rock is
