A dumb-bell consists of two identical small balls of mass $1 / 2 \mathrm{~kg}$ each connected to the two ends of a $50 \mathrm{~cm}$ long light rod. The dumb-bell is rotating about a fixed axis through the centre of the rod and perpendicular to it at an angular speed of $10 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}$. An impulsive force of average magnitude $5.0 \mathrm{~N}$ acts on one of the masses in the direction of its velocity for $0.10 \mathrm{~s}$. Find the new angular velocity of the system.
$\mathrm{T}=\mathrm{I \omega}$
$\mathrm{F} \times \mathrm{r}=\left(m r^{2}+m r^{2}\right) \alpha$
$5(0.25)=2\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)(0.5)^{2} \alpha$
$\alpha=20 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$
$\omega_{0}=10 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{sec}$
$\mathrm{T}=0.1$
$\omega=\omega_{0}+\alpha_{\mathrm{T}}$
$\omega=12 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{sec}$
