Question

a.Find the center of mass speed of the bar immediately after impulse. Express your answer in terms of I initial,L,M and x. Caution! During the time that the bar is struck, the horizontal force exerted by the pivot is likely not going to be zero

b.Find the impulse ( I-P) exerted by the pivot onto the bar during the time that I initial(shown) is acting on the bar. Express you answer in terms of I initial,L and x

c.If you strick the bar at a point that is just the right distance from the pivot,then I-P will be zero. The location of this point is called the "sweet spot". Find the distance of the sweet spot from the pivot.Express your answer in terms of L.

Explanation / Answer

a)

L/2

b)

I=(I0X)*(2/L)

C)

X=2L/3
