Answer to Problem 14.14P
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Mass of A
Mass of B
Mass of C
Velocity of A
Velocity of B
Velocity of C
The linear momentum of each particle,
Linear momentum of particle A,
Linear momentum of particle B,
Linear momentum of particle C,
Now, total linear momentum of the system,
Conclusion:
Linear moment of the system,
(c)

Answer to Problem 14.14P
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Mass of A
Mass of B
Mass of C
Velocity of A
Velocity of B
Velocity of C
We can find the position vectors at centre O with the help of figure at points A, B and C.
Position vector at A,
Position vector at B,
Position vector at C,
The position vector at mass centre G is,
Position vector relative to the mass centre,
Now, angular momentum about G,
Now, we show that this answer is verified the given formula:
Now, the angular momentum about G is added in the above obtained equation:
Now, Angular moment of all the particles about point O,
Hence the above obtained values verify the equation:
