Two small balls A and B, each of mass m, are joined rigidly to the ends of a light rod of length L (figure 10-E10). The system translates on a frictionless horizontal surface with a velocity v0 in a direction perpendicular to the rod. A particle P of mass m kept at rest on the surface sticks to the ball A as the ball collides with it. Find (a) the linear speeds of the balls A and B after the collision, (b) the velocity of the centre of mass C of the system A + B + P and (c) the angular speed of the system about C after the collision. |
