Exercise 6
Rod falling from horizontal
Theory used: Rotational kinetic energyGravitational potential energy of a rigid bodyConservation of mechanical energy
A uniform rod long, hinged without friction at one end, is released from rest in a horizontal position. Compute the angular velocity of the rod and the speed of the free end when the rod passes through the vertical.
