The pendulum consists of a slender $2-\mathrm{kg}$ rod $A B$ and $5-\mathrm{kg}$ disk. It is released from rest without rotating. When it falls $0.3 \mathrm{~m}$, the end $A$ strikes the hook $S$, which provides a permanent connection. Determine the angular velocity of the pendulum after it has rotated $90^{\circ} .$ Treat the pendulum's weight during impact as a nonimpulsive force.

Key Concepts

Moment of Inertia

The moment of inertia quantifies an object's resistance to changes in its rotational motion and depends on the distribution of mass relative to the rotation axis. For composite systems, like the combination of a rod and a disk, the total moment of inertia is determined by summing the individual moments, sometimes using the parallel axis theorem. This value is key in relating the rotational kinetic energy to the angular velocity of the system.

Impulsive Forces and Constraints

In dynamics, impulsive forces are those that act over a very short time interval, causing an abrupt change in momentum. However, in this scenario, the system is analyzed under the assumption that the pendulum's weight introduces nonimpulsive forces during the impact. This means that while the hook connection rapidly changes the pivot point, the forces acting during that instant do not add extra impulses, allowing for an energy analysis that primarily considers the gravitational energy conversion into rotational kinetic energy.

Conservation of Mechanical Energy

This concept involves the idea that, in the absence of non-conservative forces, the total mechanical energy of a system (the sum of its potential and kinetic energies) remains constant. For problems like the pendulum's motion, the gravitational potential energy lost as it falls is converted into kinetic energy, which, after any geometric or connection changes, can be related to the rotational kinetic energy of the system.

Rotational Dynamics

Rotational dynamics deals with the motion of bodies when they rotate, including the relationship between torque, angular acceleration, and moment of inertia. In this context, when the pendulum picks up a rotational constraint, the energy and forces must be analyzed in terms of angular motion. This analysis is crucial for finding the final angular velocity after the pendulum has undergone a rotation.
