A Rolling Bat Struck by a Ball

[QUOTE="A. Aspart, post: 4532201, member: 489122"] A bat lies along the x-axis so that the tip of its handle is located in (0, 0) while the other end is at (0.9 m; 0). The center of mass is at (0.6 m; 0). A ball hits the bat perpendicularly at (x, 0), causing an impulse I. The bat’s moment of inertia through the center of mass is J = 0.0530 kgm^2; the bat’s mass m = 0.800 kg. Calculate x so that the tip of the handle stays at (0, 0) by studying the movement of the center of mass. I assumed that the axis is parallel with z-axis and that the bat starts rolling around the point (0, 0). I calculated J about the tip of the handle. After that, however, I am stuck since I can only form equations with several unknown variables. Also, I don’t really understand the conditions under which the tip of the handle remains at (0, 0). Have I approached the assignment incorrectly or am I missing something (or both)? All help is much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
