A rod of mass
m and length
2l hangs by two identical light threads tied to its ends. An insect of mass
3m8 lands on the rod gently at a distance
l3 from the centre of the rod as shown and sticks to it. As a result one of the thread breaks. The acceleration of the insect (in
m/s2) just after the thread breaks given that the insect remains at rest with respect to the rod is
