/answer[/B]
I know that I=ΣMR^2
The correct answer to the problem is 32ml^2

I JUST WOULD LIKE TO SEE HOW THE PROBLEM IS DONE INCLUDING SET-UP. Thank you.

I'm sorry, according to the rules of PF, HW helpers are not allowed to outline complete solutions for users.

If you would care to make an attempt at solving this problem, however, we will gladly provide comments and help for the portions where you get stuck.

It's like taking a test: if you don't know the answers to any of the questions, at least write your name at the top of the paper.
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
