Problem P. 3797. (April 2005)

P. 3797. On a horizontal frictionless table a stick of mass M, length of L and of homogeneous mass distribution is standing.

a) With what velocity had a small body of mass m slid into it, if the stick hit the table after a turn of an angle \alpha?

b) How far was the mass center of the stick from the small body at this moment?

(The collision of the small body and the stick is perfectly elastic.) (Data: M=0.6 kg, m=0.2 kg, L=0.8 m, \alpha=60o.)
