The 9.0 kg sphere A is held at an angle of 60° as shown, and then is released from rest and hits the B sphere which has a mass of 4.5 kg. In this crash the coefficient of restitution is e = 0.75. The sphere B is attached to the end of a rod lightweight rotating around the O point. The spring is initially non elongated and it is known that the maximum angle θ that the rod turned after the crash measured from the initial position was of 21.4º. Calculate: a) The speed with which sphere A impacts with sphere B. b) The magnitude and direction of the velocities of each sphere A and B after impact. c) The mechanical energy dissipated on impact. d) The spring stiffness constant k.
