The 10-kg block is held at rest on the smooth inclined plane by the stop block at A. If the 10-g bullet is traveling at 300 m/s when it becomes embedded in the 10-kg block, determine the distance the block will slide up along the plane before momentarily stopping.

Explanation:

Linear momentum of the block is conserved in the direction since the impulsive force due to impact cancels each other internally.

Using the conservation of energy to the block system considering the initial position:

Applying Sine rule:

Hence, the distance the block will slide up is 6.874mm
