Answer:
R√7/4.
Explanation:
For the particle to stay till the point where it goes out of the hemisphere, it must have some centripetal force which is fc = mv^2/r while the point from where the particle will get out of the hemisphere will be mgcosθ. So, mgcosθ = mv^2/r.
The conservation of the linear momentum of the body is given as mgR+1/2mu^2 =mgRcosθ+1/2mv^2.
On substituting the values we will get that gR+gR/2*4=gRcosθ+1/2gRcosθ which on solving we will get cosθ = 3/4, so the value of sinθ will be √7/4. Hence, the value of horizontal distance of the projection as Rsinθ = R√7/4.
