Concepts Of Physics MCQ Edition [Volume 1]PhysicsRotational Mechanics
Two small balls A and B , each of mass m , are joined rigidly to the ends of a light rod of length L as shown. The rod is clamped at its centre so that it can rotate freely about a horizontal axis through the clamp. The system is held at rest in the horizontal position. A particle P of mass m is dropped from a height h onto the ball B and sticks to it. (a) Find the angular momentum and the angular speed of the system
