Physics Guru is an online education and competitive examinations preparation portal founded by Manish Verma, an IIT Madras alumnus, providing learning resources for competitive examinations.

The emphasis is on conceptual understanding, analytical thinking and problem solving rather than simply memorising formulas and standard methods.

A carrom board (4ft x 4ft) has the queen at the centre. The queen, hit by the striker moves to the front edge, rebounds and goes in the hole behind the striking line. Find the magnitude of displacement of the queen from (a) from the centre of the front edge, (b) from the front edge to the hole and (c) from the centre to the hole.

The solution is embedded as part of live recording done during a class.
