Three identical discs A, B, and C (figure) rest on a smooth horizontal plane. The disc A is set in motion with vector v after which it experiences an elastic collision simultaneously with the discs B and C. The distance between the centres of the latter discs prior of the collision is `eta` times greater than the diameter of each disc.
Find the velocity of the disc A after the collision. At what value of `eta` will the disc A recoil after the collision, stop, move on?

A small disc and a thin uniform rod of length l, whose mass is eta times greater than the mass of the disc, lie on a smooth horizontal plane. The disc is set in motion, in horiozontal direction and perpendicular to the rod, with velocity v, after which it elastically collides with the end of the rod. Find the velocity of the disc and the angular velocity of the rod after the collision. At what value of eta will the velocity of the disc after the collision be equal to zero? reverse its direction?
