Three spheres, each of mass \( m \), can slide freely on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Spheres \( A \) and \( B \) are attached to an inextensible, inelastic cord of length \( l \) and are at rest in
the position shown where sphere \( B \) is struck by sphere \( C \) which is moving to the right with a velocity \( v_{0} \).Knowing that the cord is taut where sphere \( B \) is struck by sphere \( C \) and assuming head on inelastic impact between \( B \) and \( C \), we cannot conserve kinetic energy of the entire system.
The loss in kinetic energy of the system during collision is
(1) \( \frac{17 m v_{0}^{2}}{64} \)
(2) \( \frac{15 m v_{0}^{2}}{64} \)
(3) \( \frac{12 m v_{0}^{2}}{25} \)
(4) none of these
