$A$ rod $AB$ is free to rotate in a vertical plane about a horizontal axis through $A$ as shown in the figure. It is slightly disturbed from rest in its position of unstable equilibrium and when it is next vertical,the end $B$ collides with a fixed peg and rebounds. If the rod comes to instantaneous rest when $AB$ is horizontal (as shown in the figure),then:

  • A
    the coefficient of restitution between the rod and the peg is $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
  • B
    the coefficient of restitution between the rod and the peg is $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • C
    the angular momentum of the rod is constant except for a sudden change at the instant of impact with the peg.
  • D
    the coefficient of restitution between the rod and the peg is $\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}}$
