[Moderator's Note: Thread title changed to better reflect the problem statement] Homework Statement A body of mass m is on a disk of mass M=2m and radius R, initially static and free to spin around its center. The mass mm goes around a trajectory described in the image below with constant...

Homework Statement A rod of mass M y length L can spin freely around a fixed point P, as shown in the picture. A bullet of mass m is shot perpendicular to the rod, and after impact, it is embedded into it. After impact the system realizes small oscillations, and that immediately after impact...
