    $\frac{3F}{2MR}$
  • B
    $\frac{F}{3MR}$
  • C
    $\frac{F}{2MR}$
  • D

How can one verify that an object is undergoing rotation about a fixed axis?

Two small balls are fixed at the ends of a light rigid rod of length $L = 0.4 \ m$. The system is released from a height $h = 5 \ m$ with the rod horizontal. The balls collide with the horizontal surface and rebound. The coefficient of restitution between ball $A$ and the ground is $e_A = 0.6$ and that between ball $B$ and the ground is $e_B = 0.4$. Find the angular speed (in $rad/s$) of the rod just after the collision. Take the acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \ m/s^2$.
