The thin uniform rod in the figure has length 5.0 m and can pivot about a horizontal, frictionless pin through one end. It is released from rest at angle θ = 50° above the horizontal. Use the principle of conservation of energy to determine the angular speed of the rod as it passes through the horizontal position. Assume free-fall acceleration to be equal to 9.83 m/s2.

Solutions

Expert Solution

mechanical energy at point A is only potential

It is the acceleration of gravity
  It is the mass of the bar

  It is the height of the center of mass and is calculated as follows

mechanical energy at point B is only rotational kinetic, is given by:

where

  moment of inertia A rod with respect to an end

  angular velocity

as the mechanical energy is constant

replacing
