A uniform rod of mass m and length l is struck at an end by a force F perpendicular to the rod for a short time interval. Calculate

(a) the speed of the center of mass, (b) the angular speed of the rod about the center of mass, (c) the kinetic energy of the rod and (d) the angular momentum of the rod about the center of mass after the force has stopped to act. Assume that t is so small that the rod does not appreciably change its direction while the force acts.


Given:


Length of the rod= l


Force applied perpendicular to the rod= F


(a) speed of center of mass




(b) angular speed of the rod about the center of the mass=






(c) kinetic energy =





(d) angular momentum about the center of the mass
