Meriam, Kraige & Bolton — Plane Kinetics of Rigid Bodies: Problem 6_145

6/145 The wad of clay of mass \( m \) is initially moving with a horizontal velocity \( v_1 \) when it strikes and sticks to the initially stationary uniform slender bar of mass \( M \) and length \( L \). Determine the final angular velocity \( \omega \) of the combined body and the \( x \)-component of the linear impulse applied to the body by the pivot \( O \) during the impact.
