A uniform slender rod of length L is dropped onto rigid supports at A and B. Immediately

Question:

A uniform slender rod of length L is dropped onto rigid supports at A and B. Immediately before striking A the velocity of the rod is v1. Since support B is slightly lower than support A, the rod strikes A before it strikes B. Assuming perfectly elastic impact at both A and B, determine the angular velocity of the rod and the velocity of its mass center immediately after the rod

(a) Strikes support A,

(b) Strikes support B,

(c) Again strikes support A.
