$A$ thin rod of mass $M$ and length $L$ is struck at one end by a ball of clay of mass $m$,moving with speed $v$ as shown in the figure. The ball sticks to the rod. After the collision,the angular momentum of the clay-rod system about $A$,the midpoint of the rod,is:

  • A
    $\left( {m + \frac{M}{3}} \right)\left( {\frac{{vL}}{2}} \right)$
  • B
    $\left( {m + \frac{M}{{12}}} \right)\left( {\frac{{vL}}{2}} \right)$
  • C
    $\frac{{mvL}}{2}$
  • D
    $mvL$

$A$ particle of mass $m$ moves along a straight line $AB$ in the $XY$ plane. Let $L_A$ and $L_B$ be the angular momentum of the particle about the origin $O$ when it is at points $A$ and $B$ respectively. Then:

The moment of inertia of a uniform rod of mass $M$ and length $L$ about an axis through its centre and perpendicular to its length is given by $\frac{ML^2}{12}$. Now,consider one such rod pivoted at its centre,free to rotate in a vertical plane. The rod is at rest in the vertical position. $A$ bullet of mass $M$ moving horizontally at a speed $v$ strikes and embeds itself in one end of the rod. The angular velocity of the rod just after the collision will be
