consider the rigid object. A uniform stick of mass M lies along the base of an isosceles triangle, and a mass m lies at the opposite vertex. The base has length b, and the height is h. Assume that the object is floating freely in outer space. The right end of the stick is struck with a quick blow, directed into the page. Let the impulse have magnitude integral(F*dt)=P. What is the velocity of mass m immediately after the blow?
