will it momentum get conserve as external force MG is acting on the ball

DUDE SINCE ITZ HORIZONTAL THERE IS NO QUESTION OF MG ACTIN!!!!!!!!!!!! AND MOMENTUM IS CONCERVED ONLY WHEN NET EXTERNAL FORCE IS 0............................"""""WILL MOMENTUM GET CONSERVED AS EXTERNAL FORCE MG IS ACTING ON THE SMALL BALL""""" IS A RONG REAZON ......... MOMENTUM IS CONSERVED AS THERE IS NO EXTERNAL FORCE!!!!CHEERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

see the law of conservation of momentum is applicable when the other forces such as gravity, normal reaction etc...are negligible compared to the Force of impact acting due to the collision...so in this case if the rod is horizontal and the ball strikes on it vertically then certainly momentum will NOT be conserved as at the time of striking if u draw the FBD u will see that .... Fimp + N = MG which implys tht MG is comparable to impact force...nudge me for any further dbts...n rate if usefull...
