A wad of clay of mass m1 = 0.49 kg with an initial horizontal velocity v1 = 1.89 m/s hits and adheres to the massless rigid bar which supports the body of mass m2 = 2.13 kg, which can be assumed to be a particle. The pendulum assembly is freely pivoted at O and is initially stationary. The distance L = 0.90 m. Determine the angular velocity ω of the combined body just after impact. Why is linear momentum of the system not conserved?

Explanation:

As per given figure we know that there is no external torque about hinge point on the system of given mass

So here we will have

now we can say

so we will have

Linear momentum of the system is not conserved because at the time of collision the hinge point will exert net external force on the system of mass

So we can use angular momentum conservation about the hinge point

connectedness in handwriting analysis is a useful tool in establishing the writer’s method of thinking and its perception in where he/she fits in to the environment around him in the social sense. in addition, the more connected the writing of an individual, the more he/she is flexible and single minded.
