and are two identical masses at rest suspended by an inextensible string passing over a smooth frictionless pulley. Mass is given a downward push with a speed as shown in fig. 1.191. It collides elastically with the floor and rebounds immediately. What happens immediately after collision?
a) |
and both move upwards with equal speeds |
b) |
and both move upwards with different speeds |
c) |
moves upwards and moves downwards with equal speeds |
d) |
Both and are at rest |

(a) Since collision is elastic, will rebound with same velocity as it strikes with. And at the time of collision, velocities of and will be same in magnitude |
