The uniform rectangular block shown is moving along a friction-less surface with a velocity v1 when it strikes a small obstruction at B. Assuming that the impact between corner A and obstruction B is perfectly plastic, determine: (a) The angular velocity of the block immediately after it impacts the B, in terms of v1. (b) If the maximum angle (θ) the block rotates to is 30∘, find v1.
