To find the initial velocity of the bullet and the rate at which the rod is hit by the bullet, we can use the principle of conservation of momentum.
Let's break down the problem step by step. We're given the following information:
- Length of the rod (l)
- Mass of the rod (M)
- Mass of the bullet (m)
- Maximum deflection angle of the rod (30°)
To solve the problem, we'll need to make a few assumptions:
1. The collision between the bullet and the rod is elastic, meaning there is no loss of kinetic energy during the collision.
2. The bullet is fired perpendicular to the rod's length at a distance within the fulcrum.
Now, let's calculate the initial velocity of the bullet and the rate at which the rod is hit by the bullet.
Step 1: Find the angular velocity of the rod.
Since the length of the rod remains constant, the angular momentum about the fulcrum (O) is conserved.
Angular momentum (L) = Moment of inertia (I) × Angular velocity (ω)
The moment of inertia of a rod rotating about its center is given by:
I = (1/3) × M × l^2
We can write the equation for the conservation of angular momentum as:
L_initial = L_final
(I_rod × ω_rod)_initial = (I_rod × ω_rod)_final
((1/3) × M × l^2 × ω_rod)_initial = ((1/3) × M × l^2 × ω_rod)_final
Step 2: Find the initial velocity of the bullet.
Assuming the bullet gets embedded in the rod after the collision, we can equate the momentum of the bullet before and after the collision to find its initial velocity.
Momentum before collision = Momentum after collision
(m × v)_initial = (M × v_rod)_final
mv = M × (l × ω_rod(l/2))
Step 3: Find the rate at which the rod is hit by the bullet.
The rate at which the rod is hit by the bullet is equivalent to the angular velocity of the rod when it reaches the maximum deflection angle (30°).
We can use the equation for angular velocity:
ω = Δθ/Δt
Assuming the bullet takes Δt time to embed in the rod, Δθ is given as 30°, and we can solve for Δt.
Once we know Δt, we can calculate the rate at which the rod is hit by the bullet using:
Rate = 1/Δt
Now that we have the basic equations to solve the problem, you can substitute the given values into the equations and solve for the unknowns (initial velocity of the bullet and the rate at which the rod is hit by the bullet).
