Solution

The correct option is D

The net force acting on the system in the horizontal direction is zero. So linear momentum of the system can be conserved.

Let'V' be the velocity of masses when slipping stops

$∴$ Intial momentum = Final momentum

(2m) (2 $v_{0}$ ) + m ( $v_{0}$ ) = (2m)V + (m) V

$\Rightarrow$ v = $\frac{5 V_{0}}{3}$

The correct option is D The net force acting on the system in the horizontal direction is zero. So linear momentum of the system can be conserved. Let'V' be the velocity of masses when slipping stops ∴ Intial momentum = Final momentum (2m) (2 v0) + m (v0) = (2m)V + (m) V ⇒ v = 5V03
