I found that the initial velocity of the LEM is 1585 m/s from the first problem. I do not understand how to incorporate the 200 m/s cast away speed into the problem. I've tried every combination of numbers into the angular momentum and energy conservation formulas but no luck. I'm desperate and...
I changed 200 m/s to 1704 m/s as that is the speed of the LEM at engine shut off. It's still wrong. Does the LEM gain speed as it travels closer to point B?
Homework Statement
I attached the problem to this post. I need help on the second question and I need to turn it in tomorrow. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to use anything from the first as they are both related.

I know how to solve frictionless problems with a single mass on an incline but this is just too advanced for me. (especially with two inclines of different angles)
