Problem

In the middle of the spokes of mass m and length 2l there is a washer of mass 12\frac{1}{2}m. The spoke is given a longitudinal velocity v by impact. In this case, the washer slides off the spoke. After that, what is the total kinetic energy of the washer and spokes, if the friction force is equal to F?
