A rod with mass M = 1.7 kg and length L = 1.07 m is mounted on acentral pivot. A metal ball of mass m = 0.70 kg is attached to oneend of the rod. You may treat the metal ball as a point mass. Thesystem is oriented in the vertical plane and gravity is acting. Therod initially makes an angle ? = 32° with respect to thehorizontal. The rod is released from rest. What is the angularacceleration of the rod immediately after it is released?
(answer in rad/(s^2))

Pivoting Rod

A rod with mass M = 1.2 kg and length L =1.17m is mounted on a central pivot. A metal ball of massm =0.70 kg is attached to one end of the rod. You maytreat the metalball as a point mass. The system is oriented in thevertical planeand gravity is acting. The rod initially makes anangleθ = 31° with respect to the horizontal. The rodisreleased from rest. What is the angular acceleration of therodimmediately after it is released?

1)Consider an oxygen molecule (O2) rotating inthe xy plane about the z axis. The axis

passes through the center of the molecule,perpendicular to its length. The mass of each

oxygen atom is 2.66 x 10

-26 kg, and at room temperature the average separation between

the two atoms is

d=1.21 x 10-10 m (the atoms are treated as point masses).a) Calculate

the moment of inertia of the molecule about the zaxis. b) If the angular speed of the

molecule about the

z axis 4.60 x 1012 rad/s, what is its rotational kineticenergy?

Answer: a) 1.95 x 10
