A particle of mass m moving with a velocity u makes an elastic one dimensional collision with a stationary particle of mass m establishing a contact with it for extremely small time T. Their force of contact increases from zero to F0 linearly in time T/4, remains constant for a further T/2 time and decreases linearly from F0 to zero in further time T/4 as shown. The magnitude possessed by F0 is
(a) mu/T
(b) 2mu/T
(c) 4mu/3T
(d) 3mu/4T
Answer: c
(8)
