- Oblique Impact To analyze an oblique impact using the conservation of momentum and coefficient of restitution. When an oblique impact occurs between two smooth particles, the particles move away from each other with velocity vectors that have unknown directions and unknown magnitudes. If the y axis is within the plane of contact and the x axis is the line of impact, the impulsive forces of deformation and restitution act only along the line of impact (the x axis). Momentum of the system is conserved along the line of impact (the x axis): ∑m(vx)1=∑m(vx)2 The coefficient of restitution, e, relates the relative-velocity components of the particles along the line of impact (the x axis): e=(vBx)2−(vAx)2(vAx)1−(vBx)1 The momenta of both particles A and B are conserved in the plane of contact (the y axis) because no impulse acts on either particle in this plane.

In the case of the simple pendulum, the string is not truly weightless, while in the case of the compound pendulum, the exact location of the mass center is difficult to establish. In the case of a compound pendulum, the difficulty can be eliminated by using a reversible, or Kater, pendulum. Two knife edges A and B are placed so that they are obviously not at the same distance from the mass center G, and the distance l is measured with great precision. The position of a counterweight D is then adjusted so that the period of oscillation τ obtained is equal to that of a true simple pendulum of length l and that g 4π2 l/τ.arrow_forward4.
