An open knife edge of mass $m$ is dropped from a height $h$ on a wooden floor. If the blade penetrates up to the depth $d$ into the wood,the average resistance offered by the wood to the knife edge is

  • A
    $mg$
  • B
    $mg\left( {1 - \frac{h}{d}} \right)$
  • C
    $mg\left( {1 + \frac{h}{d}} \right)$
  • D
    $mg{\left( {1 + \frac{h}{d}} \right)^2}$

$A$ small bob $A$ of mass $m$ is attached to a massless rigid rod of length $1 \ m$ pivoted at point $P$ and kept at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the vertical as shown in the figure. At a distance of $1 \ m$ below point $P$,an identical bob $B$ is kept at rest on a smooth horizontal surface that extends to a circular track of radius $R$ as shown in the figure. If bob $B$ just manages to complete the circular path of radius $R$ up to a point $Q$ after being hit elastically by bob $A$,then the radius $R$ is . . . . . . $m$.
