Physics

A chimney (length 17.6 m, mass 823 kg] cracks at the base andtopples. Assume: - the chimney behaves like a thin rod, and doesnot break apart as it falls. - only gravity (no friction) acts onthe chimney as it falls. - the bottom of the chimney pivots, butdoes not move. Find the linear speed of the center of mass of thechimney, in m/s, just as it hits the ground

Part 2)A chimney (length 11.1 m, mass 852 kg] cracks at the baseand topples. Assume: - the chimney behaves like a thin rod, anddoes not break apart as it falls. - only gravity (no friction) actson the chimney as it falls. - the bottom of the chimney pivots, butdoes not move. Find the linear speed of the very top of thechimney, in m/s, just as it hits the ground.
