7. 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 conservation of momentum even though the weights act during the impact? 14m 0.9
