A uniform rod (length = 2.0 m) is mounted to rotate freely about a horizontal axis that is perpendicular to the rod and that passes through the rod at a point 0.50 m from one end of the rod. If the rod is released from rest in a horizontal position, what is the angular speed of the rod as it rotates through its lowest position?

A long uniform rod of length L and mass M is pivoted about a frictionless, horizontal pin through one end. The rod is nudged from rest in a vertical position as shown in the figure below.

(a) At the instant the rod is horizontal, find its angular speed. 

(b) At the instant the rod is horizontal, find the magnitude of its angular acceleration.

(c) At the instant the rod is horizontal, find the x and y components of the acceleration of its center of mass.

(d) At the instant the rod is horizontal, find the components of the reaction force at the pivot.

A uniform rod of mass 3.50×10-2 kg and length 0.450 m rotates in a horizontal plane about a fixed axis through its center and perpendicular to the rod. Two small rings, each with a mass of 0.160 Kg, are mounted so that they can slide along the rod. They are initially held by catches at positions a distance of 5.10×10-2 m on each side from the center of the rod, and the system is rotating at an angular velocity of 32.0 rev/min. Without otherwise changing the system, the catches are released, and the rings slide outward along the rod and fly off at the ends.

(a) What is the angular speed of the system at the instant when the rings reach the ends of the rod?

(b) What is the angular speed of the rod after the rings leave it?

A uniform, 0.0300-kg rod of length 0.400 m rotates in a horizontal plane about a fixed axis through its center and perpendicular to the rod. Two small rings, each with a mass of 0.0200 kg, are mounted so that they can slide along the rod. They are initially held by catches at positions 0.0500 m on each side of the center of the rod, and the system is rotating at 30.0 revs/min. With no other changes in the system, the catches are released, and the rings slide outward along the rod and fly off at the ends. What is the angular speed of
