A 2-oz bullet is fired horizontally with a velocity v = 1000 ft/sec into the slender bar of a 3-lb pendulum initially at rest. If the bullet embeds itself in the bar, compute the resulting angular velocity of the pendulum immediately after the impact. Treat the sphere as a particle and neglect the mass of the rod. Why is the linear momentum of the system not conserved?
