Two small spheres, \(A\) and \(B\), are free to move on the inside of a smooth hollow cylinder, in such a way that they remain in contact with both the curved surface of the cylinder and its horizontal base. The mass of \(A\) is 0.4 kg , the mass of \(B\) is 0.5 kg and the radius of the cylinder is 0.6 m (see diagram). The coefficient of restitution between \(A\) and \(B\) is 0.35 . Initially, \(A\) and \(B\) are at opposite ends of a diameter of the base of the cylinder with \(A\) travelling at a constant speed of \(v \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) and \(B\) stationary. The magnitude of the force exerted on \(A\) by the curved surface of the cylinder is 6 N .
- Show that \(v = 3\).
- Calculate the speeds of the particles after \(A\) 's first impact with \(B\).
Sphere \(B\) is removed from the cylinder and sphere \(A\) is now set in motion with constant angular speed \(\omega \mathrm { rad } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\). The magnitude of the total force exerted on \(A\) by the cylinder is 4.9 N .
- Find \(\omega\).
