[UPSC CSE 1999] Conservation Laws (Q47, 20M)

How do we infer the law of conservation of linear momentum from Newton's laws of motion? A stationary bomb explodes and on explosion, it fragments into three parts. Two of these part which are of equal masses fly apart perpendicular to each other with a velocity of 60 m/s each. The third part has a mass four times the other two. Find the magnitude and the direction of the velocity of the third part.
