Textbook Question
Chapter 14.2, Problem 14.50P
Three small spheres A, B, and C, each of mass m, are connected to a small ring D of negligible mass by means of three inextensible, inelastic cords of length l. The spheres can slide freely on a frictionless horizontal surface and are rotating initially at a speed v0 about ring D, which is at rest. Suddenly the cord CD breaks. After the other two cords have again become taut, determine (a) the speed of ring D, (b) the relative speed at which spheres A and B rotate about D, (c) the fraction of the original energy of spheres A and B that is dissipated when cords AD and BD again became taut.

Car A was traveling west at a speed of 15 m/s and car B was traveling north at an unknown speed when they slammed into each other at an intersection. Upon investigation it was found that after the crash the two cars got stuck and skidded off at an angle of 50° north of east. Knowing the masses of A and B are m mA and mB, respectively, draw the impulse-momentum diagram that can be used to determine the velocity of B before impact.
Two identical spheres A and B each of mass m , are attached to an inextensible inelastic cord of length L and are resting at a distance a from each other on a frictionless horizontal surface. Sphere B is given a velocity v0 in a direction perpendicular to line AB and moves it without friction until it reaches B ’ where the cord becomes taut. Draw the impulse-momentum diagram that can be used to determine the magnitude of the velocity of each sphere immediately after the cord has become taut.
Three spheres, each with a mass of m , can slide freely on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Spheres A and B are attached to an inextensible, inelastic cord with a length I and are at rest in the position shown when sphere B is struck squarely by sphere C , which is moving with a velocity v0 . Knowing that the cord is taut when sphere B is struck by sphere C and assuming perfectly elastic impact between B and C , and thus the conservation of energy for the entire system, determine the velocity of each sphere immediately after impact.
