A portion of a mechanical engineering course notes focusing on impulse and momentum, linear and angular, and the kinetics of planar rigid bodies. It includes formulas for linear and angular impulse and momentum, force and moment balance, and angular momentum about different points. Examples are provided to determine angular velocities after balls are released from a spinning rod or when a sphere hits a rod.

Two solid spheres (radius

mass^ m
,^ W^ = 2 lb) are mounted on a spinning horizontal rod (
R ) with
angular velocity
ω^ = 6 rad/sec as shown. The mass moment of inertiaof the rod is
I^. The balls are held R together by a string which issuddenly cut.
Key Observation:• None of the external forces produce amoment about the
y^ axis, the angular Determine the angular velocity of therod after the balls have moved tomomentum is conserved.• The angular momentum consists of theangular momenta of the spheres and theangular momentum of the rod
