Explanation Given information: The three sphere A , B , C each having mass is m . Calculation: Consider x is a distance between A and C . Calculate the horizontal distance ( x ) as shown below. l 2 = x 2 + ( l 3 ) 2 x 2 = l 2 − l 2 9 x 2 = 9 l 2 − l 2 9 x = 8 3 l Calculate angle θ as shown below. l sin θ = l 3 sin θ = 1 3 θ = 19.47 ° l cos θ = 8 3 l cos θ = 8 3 Sketch the velocity system as shown in Figure 1. Refer to Figure 1. Write the velocity vectors as follows: v 0 = − v 0 j v A = v A ( cos θ i − sin θ j ) v B / A = u B ( − sin θ i − cos θ j ) Express the velocity at B as follows: ( v B ) 2 = ( v A ) 2 + ( v B / A ) 2 v B = v A 2 + v B / A 2 Express the velocity at C as follows: v C = v C j Apply the conservation of momentum as follows. m v 0 = m v A + m v B / A + m v C = 2 m v A + m v B / A + m v C (1) Divided by m in Equation (1). m v 0 m = 2 m v A + m v B / A + m v C m v 0 = 2 v A + v B / A + v C (2) Substitute − v 0 j for v 0 , v A ( cos θ i − sin θ j ) for v A , v C j for v C , and u B ( cos θ i − cos θ j ) for v B / A in Equation (2). − v 0 j = 2 v A ( cos θ i − sin θ j ) + u B ( − sin θ i − cos θ j ) + v C j = v A cos θ i − v A sin θ j − u B sin θ i − u B cos θ j + v C j Resolving the components of i, j coordinates as follows: 2 v A cos θ − u B sin θ = 0 (3) v 0 = 2 v A sin θ + u B cos θ − v C (4) Solve Equation (3) and (4) as follows: v A = 1 6 ( v 0 + v C ) u B = 0.94281 ( v 0 + v C ) Find the velocity of sphere C using conservation of energy as follows: 1 2 m v 0 2 = 1 2 m v A 2 + 1 2 m v B 2 + 1 2 m v C 2 = 1 2 m v A 2 + 1 2 m ( v A 2 + u B 2 ) + 1 2 m v C 2 (5) Divided by 1 2 m in Equation (5)

Strain energy

The term strain indicates the variation in an object's length, area, and volume when the object is subjected to an external force. The external force may be of normal, shear, moment, torque, etc. The strain in an object depends on the types of external f…
