Three masses m, 2m and 3m are moving in $\displaystyle x-y$ plane with speed $\displaystyle 3 \mathrm{u}, 2 \mathrm{u}$, and u respectively as shown in figure. The three masses collide at the same point at P and stick together. The velocity of resulting mass will be :

Official answer
(4)
$\displaystyle \frac{\mathrm{u}}{12}(-\hat{i}-\sqrt{3} \hat{j})$
