Question

A trolley of mass 300 kg carrying a sand bag of 25 kg is moving uniformly with a speed of 27 km/h on a frictionless track. After a while, sand starts leaking out of a hole on the floor of the trolley at the rate of 0.05 kgs1. What is the speed of the trolley after the entire sand bag is empty?

Solution

Relative velocity of bag with respect to trolley is Vrelative=0

Rate of mass eject, μ= 0.05 kg/s

Thrust force on trolley, F=μVrelative=0.05×0=0

Hence, trolley velocity will remain equal to 27km/h
