Question
An open knife edge of mass 'm' is dropped from a height 'h' on a wooden floor. If the blade penetrates upto the depth 'd' into the wood, the average resistance offered by the wood to the knife edge is
The correct answer is:
Let the blade stops at depth d into the wood.
Þ 
by solving 
So the resistance offered by the wood
