Conservation of Angular Momentum

The l0-lb slender rod is suspended from the pin at A. If a 2-lb ball
B is thrown at the rod and strikes its center with a velocity of 30
ft/s, determine the angular velocity of the rod just after impact.
The coefficient of restitution is e = 0.4.

Given:
m R :10 lb m B :2 lb

v B:30 ft /s e :0.4

Solution:

( H A )1=( H A )2
( mB )( v B )1 ( 1.5 ft ) =( m B ) ( v B )2 ( 1.5 ft ) + ( m R ) ( v G )2 ( 1.5 ft ) + I G ω2

( 32.22 lbft /s ) ( 30 ft /s ) ( 1.5 ft )=( 32.22lbft /s )( v ) ( 1.5 ft ) +¿

Since ( v G )2=1.5 ω 2 ,then

2.795=0.09317 ( v B )2 +0.9317 ω 2

( vG )2−( v B )2
e=
( v B )1−( v G )1
1.5 ω2−( v B ) 2
0.4=
(30 ft /s )−0
12.0=1.5 ω2−( v B )2

( v B )2=−6.52 ft /s or 6.52 ft / s ←
ω 2=3.65 rad /sec CCW answer
