Consider two balls connected by a rigid rod as shown in the picture. The mass of each ball is m = 1 kg, and the mass of the rod is negligible. After being released from rest in the position shown, the assembly slides down the smooth circular slope of radius R = 2 m. What is the magnitude of the velocity (m/s) of the assembly when it reaches the dashed position? 2 V 1 2 A R. 1
