The angular speed of the rod after the impact is 1.49 rad/s
What is angular speed?
The rate of change of angular displacements is known as angular speed.
Angular speed is a scalar measure of the rotating object.
What is Angular momentum?
It is the property of a rotating body given by the product of the moment of inertia and the angular velocity of the rotating object.
Angular momentum is expressed as follows:
L=m*v*r
Here,
mass of beam, M =20 kg
mass of rock, m =0.1 kg
length of the beam, L =2 m
length where rock slides, l = (L / 2), l = 1 m
velocity of rock, v =400 m/s
As here the Torque on which the system is zero implies that the angular momentum is conserved.
Initial angular momentum for rock: I(ri) = m*v*r
Final angular momentum for rock: I(rf) = m*w*r^2
Final angular momentum for beam: I(bf) = 1/3 (M*L^2w)
Now, According to the conservation of momentum:
m*v*r = m*w*r^2 + 1/3 (ML^2w)
w = m*v*r / ( mr^2 + 1/3 ML^2 )
w = 0.1 *400*1 / ( (0.1 * 1) + 1/3 20* 2^2 )
w = 1.49 rad / s
The angular speed of the rod after the impact is 1.49 rad/s
