Determine angular velocity of combined body after impact


A wad of clay mass m1 with an initial horizontal velocity v1 hits and adheres to the massless rigid bar which supports the body of mas m2, which can be assumed to be a particle. The pendulum assembly is freely pivoted at 0 and is initially stationary. Determine the angular velocity (theta dot) of the combined body just after impact. Why is linear momentum of the system not conserved?
