Question
Three small spheres A, B and C, which weight 1, 2
and 4 lb respectively, can slide freely on a horizontal
frictionless surface. Spheres B and C are connected
by a light rod and are at rest in the position shown
when sphere B is struck squarely by sphere A which
is moving to the right with a velocity V0 = (8 ft/s)i.
Knowing that θ = 45° and that the velocities of spheres
A and B immediately after the impact are VA = 0 and VB = (2 ft/s)i + (VB)y j, determine
(VB)y and the velocity of C immediately after impact.
