Solution

The correct option is A 3v4a
After hitting the ridge at point O, block will rotate immediately with angular velocity ω about axis of rotation passing through O.


τext=0 about point O.
(since torque due to N and mg cancel)
Hence, applying angular momentum conservation:
Li=Lf
Mv(a2)=I0×ω ...(i)


MOI about O from parallel axis theorem,
I0=ICM+Md2
I0=Ma26+M(a2)2
I0=2Ma23
Substituting in Eq. (i),
Mv(a2)=(2Ma23)ω
ω=3v4a
