Question

A rod of mass $M$ and length $L$ is placed on a horizontal plane with one end hinged about the vertical axis. A horizontal force of $F = \frac{m g}{3}$ is applied at a distance $\frac{L}{3}$ from the hinged end. The angular acceleration of the rod will be:-

Open in App

Solution

$τ$ = Torque

$τ$ = $I α$

$α$ = $\frac{τ}{I}$

= $\frac{r f}{I}$ = $\frac{(L / 3) (m g / 3)}{M L^{2} / 3}$

= $\frac{m g L}{3 M L^{2}}$
$α$ = $\frac{g}{3 L}$
