Question
3/195 The 450-kg ram of a pile driver falls 1.4 m from rest
and strikes the top of a 240-kg pile embedded 0.9 m
in the ground. Upon impact the ram is seen to move
with the pile with no noticeable rebound. Determine
the velocity v of the pile and ram immediately after
impact. Can you justify using the principle of con-
servation of momentum even though the weights
act during the impact?
Ans. v = 3.42 m/s
1.4 m
0.9 m
