Two particles of equal mass $m$ at $A$ and $B$ are connected by a rigid light rod $AB$ of length $L$ lying on a smooth horizontal table. An impulse $J$ is applied at $A$ in the plane of the table and perpendicular to $AB$. Then the velocity of the particle at $A$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{J}{2m}$
  • B
    $\frac{3J}{4m}$
  • C
    $\frac{J}{m}$
  • D
    $\frac{2J}{m}$
