A thin uniform bar lies on a frictionless surface and is free to move in any way on the surface. Its mass is 0.16 kg and length V3 metres. Two particles each of mass 0.08 kg are moving on the same surface and towards the bar in a direction perpendicular to the bar, one with a velocity 10 m/s and the other with 6 m/s as shown in Figure. The first particle strikes the bar at A and the other at the point B. The points A and B are at distance 0.5 m from centre of the bar. The particle strike the bar at the same instant of time and stick to the bar on collision. Calculate the loss of kinetic energy of the system in the above collision process.

Question
A thin uniform bar lies on a frictionless surface and is free to move in any way on the
surface. Its mass is 0.16 kg and length 3 metres. Two particles each of mass 0.08 kg
are moving on the same surface and towards the bar in a direction perpendicular to the
bar, one with a velocity 10 m/s and the other with 6 m/s as shown in Figure. The first
particle strikes the bar at A and the other at the point B. The points A and B are at
distance 0.5 m from centre of the bar. The particle strike the bar at the same instant of
time and stick to the bar on collision. Calculate the loss of kinetic energy of the system
in the above collision
process.
