A 16.0-kg, 2.4-m-long rod is supported on a knife edge at its midpoint. A 3.2-kg ball of clay is dropped from rest from a height of 1.2 m and makes a perfectly inelastic collision with the rod 0.9 m from the point of support (Figure). Find the angular momentum of the rod-and-clay system immediately after the inelasticcollision.
