Homework Statement
Consider 2 balls A,B on the same line . and they are connected to a third one G with a rope L. AG, AB. now the system monves in the effect of the mass of G and its projection to the line AB is in the middle. No friction. mass of A=mass of B=m and mass of G=2m
.FInd the time of impact and the velocity of G at that time
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I know the only forces are From the rope. 2 on the G ball and 1 in each of the balls.I understant i have to apply conservation law of energy but how? What is the potential energy? And also How to calculate the forces. Is it like the 3ball acts like gravity would do?
