Thanks heaps think I get it now. Would it be to conserve angular momentum about A, and the COM has an initial angular momentum of sqrt(2gh)mb prior to the collision. I forgot that an object without angular velocity still has angular momentum

I calculated that the velocity of the head prior to the collision is sqrt(2gh), as all of the gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. And I believe the velocity at point A after the collision is given by the formula vf=e•sqrt(2gh), with e representing the coefficient of...
