Discuss the below in detail:
Q: A 0.6-lb collar A is released from rest, slides down a frictionless rod, and strikes a 1.8-lb collar B which is at rest and supported by a spring of constant 34 lb/ft. Knowing that the velocity of collar A is zero immediately after impact, determine
(a) The coefficient of restitution between the two collars,
(b) The energy lost in the impact,
(c) The maximum distance collar B moves down the rod afterimpact.
