A 7.1 kg, 5.0 m board is balanced about a point 2.0 m from right end of the board

A 7.1 kg, 5.0 m board is balanced about a point 2.0 m from right end of the board. A cube is sitting centered 0.5 m from the right end. A 3.5 kg cylinder is dropped from a height of 2.0 m onto the left end of the board and sticks to it. The dropped cylinder is going 6.26 m/s just before it hits the left end of the board. (Assume the cube and cylinder are point masses.)

a) What is the mass of the cube sitting 0.5 m from the right end?

b) What is the cylinder’s angular momentum about the board/cube's pivot point just before hitting the board?

c) What is the total angular momentum of all of the masses just after the collision?

d) What is the moment of inertia of the board and two masses just after collision?

e) What is the board's angular velocity just after collision?

f) How fast is the cube (originally 0.5 m from the right end) going just after the collision? if you need a diagram, draw one!!

Hint
EconomicsThe characteristic describing the rotating inertia of an item or system of objects in motion about an axis that may or may not pass through the object or system is referred to as angular momentum. The conservation of angular momentum is often employed in the study of what is known as central force motion. If a body's net force is constantly directed toward a fixed point, such as the cente...
