A uniform rod of mass
200 gm and length
1 m is initially at rest in a vertical position. The rod is hinged at the centre such that it can rotate freely without friction about a fixed horizontal axis passing through its centre. Two particles of mass
m=100 gm each having horizontal velocity of equal magnitude
u=6 m/s strike the rod at the top and the bottom simultaneously as shown and stick to the rod. Find the angular speed (in rad/s) of the rod when it becomes horizontal.
