bout anaxis through 0 perpendicular to theplane of the figure. For the sakeof simplicity suppose the blow to beapplied in such a direction that ittends to produce rotation only aboutthe given axis. Let L denote thelinear impulse of the blow and L the impulse given to the body by the reaction of the… … 280 ANALYTICAL MECHANICS where m is the mass of the body and v the velocity of itscenter of mass. But by the conservation of angular momen-tum the angular momentum of the body about the axis afterthe blow must equal that of the blow itself. Therefore la = Lb, (2) where / is the moment of inertia of…
