A wedge of mass m with triangular cross section AB CB CA 2R is moving with a constant velocity Vi towards a sphere of radius R fixed on a smooth horizontal table as shown in the figure The wedge makes an elastic collision with the fixed sphere and returns along the same path without any rotation Neglect all friction and suppose that the wedge remains in contact with the sphere for a very short time At during which the sphere exerts a constant force F on the wedge 1998 a Find the force F and also the normal force N exerted by the table on the wedge b Let h denote the perpendicular distance between the centre of mass of the wedge and the line of ction of F Find the magnitude of the torque due to the normal force N about the centre of the edge during the interval At R B A C
