3.3.14. A thin homogeneous bar of length $l$ slides along a smooth horizontal plane with speed $\upsilon$. The bar hits an extensive rough section of the plane. How long will it take for the bar to stop if the coefficient of friction is $\mu$?
Solution
Answer
$$t = \frac{\pi}{2} \sqrt{\frac{l}{\mu g}} \quad \text{for} \quad v \leq \sqrt{\mu g l}, \quad t = \frac{v'}{\mu g} + \sqrt{\frac{l}{\mu g}} \arccos \frac{v'}{v} \quad \text{for} \quad v > \sqrt{\mu g l}, \quad \text{where}$$
