Projectile motion in inclined planes?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on a physics problem involving two intersecting inclined planes with angles α and β. A particle is projected perpendicularly from one plane and must strike the other plane at a right angle after a vertical displacement of 'h'. Participants are encouraged to attempt a solution before seeking assistance, highlighting the importance of understanding the mechanics involved. A diagram is suggested to aid in visualizing the problem. The conversation emphasizes the need for a clear approach to solving projectile motion in this specific context.

Two inclined planes intersect in a horizontal plane. Their inclination to the horizontal is α and β. If a particle is projected at right angles to the former from a point in it so as to strike the other at right angles, then find the velocity of projection. Assume that the particle undergoes a vertical displacement of 'h' during its motion.

An attempt at the solution is required before any help can be given. A diagram might be nice as well.
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
