Solve Prob. 18.23, assuming that the bent rod is hit at C.

Prob. 18.23

A uniform rod of total mass m is bent into the shape shown and is suspended by a wire attached at B. The bent rod is hit at D in a direction perpendicular to the plane containing the rod (in the negative z direction). Denoting the corresponding impulse by F Δ t, determine (a) the velocity of the mass center of the rod, (b) the angular velocity of the rod.
