To solve this problem it is important to note that there are no external moments between the puck and bar therefore angular momentum is conserved. From this you can just use the AIM equations along with PAT to determine the moment of inertia about point O to calculate w2.
Could we utilize rigid body kinematics to relate va2 and w2? I found it simple to do since the two objects stick, meaning that the velocity of the particle (va2) is the same as the velocity of the bar at point b (vb2), but I was unsure if this was the correct approach.
