The slender rod of mass m1 and length L has a movable slider of mass m2 which can be tightened at any location x along the rod. The assembly is initially falling in translation with speed v1. A small peg on the left end of the rod becomes engaged in the receptacle. Determine the angular velocity ω2 of the body just after impact. For the condition m2 = m1/2, determine the maximum value of ω2 and the corresponding value of x. Plot ω2 versus x/L for this mass condition.
