PROBLEM 17.129
Sphere A of mass m
A
2 kg and radius r 40 mm rolls without
slipping with a velocity
1
v
2 m/s on a horizontal surface when
it hits squarely a uniform slender bar B of mass m
B
0.5 kg and
length L 100 mm that is standing on end and at rest. Denoting
by
k
the coefficient of kinetic friction between the sphere and
the horizontal surface, neglecting friction between the sphere
and the bar, and knowing the coefficient of restitution between A
and B is 0.1, determine the angular velocities of the sphere and
the bar immediately after the impact.
SOLUTION
Before impact sphere A rolls without slipping so that its instantaneous center of rotation is its contact point
with the floor.
