**Problem 2: Clay Collision**

Three pieces of clay have the velocities and masses shown where \( \theta = 30^\circ \). If they all collide and stick together, what is the resultant speed and direction?

### Diagram Explanation:

- **Green Circle (Top Left):** 
  - Mass: \( 4m \)
  - Velocity: \( 4v_0 \)
  - Moves at an angle \( \theta = 30^\circ \) downwards towards the right.

- **Orange Circle (Top Right):** 
  - Mass: \( 3m \)
  - Velocity: \( 3v_0 \)
  - Moves horizontally to the left.

- **Red Circle (Bottom Left):** 
  - Mass: \( 2m \)
  - Velocity: \( 2v_0 \)
  - Moves vertically upwards.

The task is to determine the speed and direction after these pieces of clay collide and stick together.
