The correct answer is: 2 J m


Let v and ω be the linear and angular speeds of the rod
after applying an impulse J at B. Then from :
                  impulse = change in momentum

we have

        mv = J or v = J m                                     ...(1)

                    I ω = J · l 2

or      m l 2 1 2 ω = J · l 2 or ω = 6 J m l                 ...(2)

After the given time t = π m l 1 2 J , the rod will rotate an angle

                      θ = ω t = 6 J m l π m l 1 2 J = π 2

                l 6 . ω = l 6 6 J m l = J m = v

∴                v P = 2 v = 2 J m
