Question

A uniform rod of length L and mass 2m rests on a
smooth horizontal table. A point mass m moving horizontally at
right angle to the rod with an initial velocity " collides with one
end of the rod and sticks to it. Determine (a) the rotational inertia
1 about the axis passing through the center of mass after the
collision, (b) the angular velocity w of the system after the
collision,(c) the position of the point on the rod which remains
stationary immediately after the collision, and (d) the change in
kinetic energy of the system as a whole as a result of the collision.
