A train of mass M is moving on a circular track or radius R with a constant speed V. The length of the train is half of the perimeter of the track.What will be the linear momentum of the train. Plz tell in detail... A train of mass M is moving on a circular track or radius R with a constant speed V.

Hello Gunit,I would like to inform U that one of the Askiitians Expert has already answered this question asked very earlier.Check:http://www.askiitians.com/forums/Mechanics/10/41804/centre-of-mass-linear-momentum-collision.htm
Dear Student,Please find below the solution to your problem.The train fits onto the semicircle and has symmetry about the y−axis as shown in the figure below.For the two points shown on the semicircle, we resolve the velocity vinto horizontal and vertical components.Since the two points are symmetrical about the y−axis, the magnitude of the vertical components(y-components) will be equal and point along y^ and −y^ directions respectively.Hence, both will cancel out.The horizontal components(x-components) will point along the x−axis.Mass of the Train=M;Length of the Train=L=πR;Mass per unit length=λ=πRM;Take a small element at an angle θ on the semicircle which subtends angle dθ.Let dm be the mass of this small element.Let dl= Length of the small element=Rdθ;dm=λdl=πRMRdθ;P=∫0πdpx=∫0πdm(vsinθ)=∫0ππRM∗Rdθ(vsinθ)=πMv∫0πsinθdθ=−πMv[cosθ]0π=−πMv(cosπ−cos0)=π−Mv(−2)=π2MvThanks and Regards
