Three point like equal masses m_(1), m_(2) and m_(3) are connected to the ends of a massless rod of length L which lies at rest on a smooth horizontal plane. At t = 0 , an explosion occurs between m_(2) and m_(3) , and as a result, mass m_(3) is detached from the rod, and moves with a known velocity v at an angle of 30^(@) with the y -axis. Assume that the masses m_(2) and m_(3) are unchanged during the explosion. What is the velocity of the centre of mass of the system consisting of three masses, after the expulsion?
