##\operatorname{tg}\varphi^{'} = \frac{u \sin\varphi}{\gamma (u \cos\varphi - V)}## and ##\varphi = \frac{\pi}{2}##. Hence tangent of the boundary angle in a moving coordinate system ##\operatorname{tg}\varphi^{'} = -\frac{1}{\gamma}\frac{u}{V}##. But ##\frac{\alpha^{'}}{2} = \pi - \varphi^{'}##...
##\cos \varphi < \frac{V}{u}## and ##\varphi## should depend on ##\frac{\alpha}{2}##, but I don't understand how to take into account half of the splinters.
The splinter will collide with the moving surface if $$-\operatorname{tg}\frac{\alpha}{2} < \frac{u \sin\varphi}{\gamma (u \cos\varphi - V)} < \operatorname{tg}\frac{\alpha}{2}$$
Homework Statement
On the axis of an infinite wedge that moves with velocity ##\vec{V}##, the body decays with the formation of a lot of splinters that fly away uniformly in all directions with velocity ##\vec{u}##. What should be the angle of the wedge that half of the splinters fall on its...
