A shell at rest at the origin explodes into three fragments of masses 1 kg, 2 kg and m kg. The 1 kg and 2 kg pieces fly off with speeds of 5 ms-1 along x-axis and 6 ms-2 along y-axis respectively. If the m kg piece flies off with a speed of 6.5 ms-1, the total mass of the shell must be

  • 4 kg

  • 5 kg

  • 3.5 kg

  • 4.5 kg


B.

5 kg

We can realise the situation as shown in figure. Let the direction of mass m makes an angle θ with momentum 6.5 m along x and y-axis and equate.

                

Therefore,

       6.5 m cos θ = 5 × 1

and  6.5 m sin θ = 6 × 2

or        (6.5 m)2 = (5)2 + (12)2 = (13)2

or                  m = 136.5 = 2 kg

Therefore, total mass of the shell.

                 = 1 + 2 + 2 = 5 kg
