The car strikes the side of a light pole, which is designed to break away from its base with negligible resistance. From a video taken of the collision it is observed that the pole was given an angular velocity of 64rad/s when AC was vertical. The pole has a mass of 170kg, a center of mass at G, and a radius of gyration about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the pole assembly and passing through G of kG?=2.10m. (Figure 1) Part A Determine the horizontal impulse which the car exerts on the pole at the instant AC is essentially vertica Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
