1. A square block of mass m is falling with a velocity v1 when it strikes a small obstruction at B. Knowing that
the coefficient of restitution for the impact between corner A and the obstruction B is e=0.5, determine
immediately after the impact (a) the angular velocity of the block, (b) the velocity of its mass center G.
2. Determine the velocity of each block 2 s after the blocks are released from rest.
Neglect the mass of the pulleys and cord.
3. The plank CDE has a mass of 15 kg and rests on a small pivot at D. The 55-kg gymnast A is standing on the plank at C when the 70-kg
gymnast B jumps from a height of 2.5 m and strikes the plank at E. Assuming plastic impact and that gymnast A is standing absolutely
straight, determine the height to which gymnast A will rise.
