A pendulum with mass m1= 4.3 kg is suspended from a pivot with length (OA) of 0.8 m as shown in figure Q4 (b). The pendulum is stationary when it is released at 600 from the vertical position and it strikes a stationary cylinder with mass m2= 1.5 kg. The cylinder is connected to a spring with spring constant k= 5295.6 N/m. Coefficient of restitution between the pendulum and cylinder masses is e = 0.7. Assume the system is frictionless. a)Determine the speed of the pendulum (in m/s) right before the collision b)Determine the speed of the cylinder m2 (in m/s) right after the collision c)Determine the maximum compression of the spring in centimetre (cm)
