Engineering Mechanics - KOP: Impulse and Momentum - Discussion

In cases of emergency, the gas actuator can be used to move a 75-kg block B by exploding a charge C near a pressurized cylinder of negligible mass. As a result of the explosion, the cylinder fractures and the released gas forces the front part ofthe cylinder, A, to move B and the floor is = 0.5, determine the impulse that the actuator must impart to B.
