    Find velocities when a mass leaves a system of a rod with two masses

    Thank you, you were very helpful! I'm going to check the moment of Inertia again. Thanks!

    Find velocities when a mass leaves a system of a rod with two masses

    No, The problem doesn't ask me for the final angular momentum, but I need it in order to find the new angular velocity of the rod-mass. The problem is that I'm not sure if I wrote the Final Angular Momentum properly (this: ...L_f = 17/24 m L^2 w_f + (L/2) (i) x m v_1 (j) + (-L/4) (i) x 2m v_2...

    Yes sorry, it was a typo. The mass of the rod is m too.

    Find velocities when a mass leaves a system of a rod with two masses

    Hi, thanks for taking the time to read it. Yes, in the problem the rod has mass too. I posted this in another page and I could write with latex (iḿ not sure why it didn´t work here, maybe itś another formt). Thanks in advance. My doubt in general is when I have to calculate the final angular...

    Find velocities when a mass leaves a system of a rod with two masses

    First, I can say that the velocity of the mass leaving the system is equal to ##w_o## (k) x ##L/2## (i) which tells me that its velocity will be w_o L/2 (j) Now, since the net external force is equal to 0, (linear) momentum is conserved, so: At first the velocity of the center of mass was 0 and...
