Question:

Solve Prob. 18.25, assuming that the rod is hit at point C in the negative z direction. Problem 18.25: A uniform rod of mass m and length 5a is bent into the shape shown and is suspended by a wire attached at point B. Knowing that the rod is hit at point A in the negative y direction and denoting the corresponding impulse by ??(FΔt)j, determine immediately after the impact

(a) The velocity of the mass center G,

(b) The angular velocity of the rod.
