Question
A uniform rod of length L and mass M is free to rotate about a frictionless pivot at one end as shown in the figure. The rod is released form rest in the horizontal position
- initial angular acceleration of right end of the rod is 3g/2L and is common to all points on the rod.
- initial linear acceleration of the right end of the rod is 3g/2 and is common to all points on the rod.
- initial linear acceleration of the right end of the rod is 3g/2 and its value is different at different points.
- no points on the rod have a linear acceleration greater than g.
The correct answer is: initial angular acceleration of right end of the rod is 3g/2L and is common to all points on the rod.
