Answer:
a) Angular speed(w) = 2.02rad/sec
b) 73J ( It is Inelastic Collision)
Explanation:
Given:
Mass=45kg
Length on each side = 1.5m side which is hangs vertically from a frictionless pivot at the center of its upper edge.
We need to calculate
(a) What is the angular speed and
(b) To know why the angular momentum conserved but not the linear momentum
