Question

A uniform rod of length l is free to rotate in a vertical plane about a fixed horizontal axis passing through O. The rod is allowed to rotate from rest, from its unstable vertical position. Find the angular velocity of the rod when it has turned through an angle θ as shown.

Solution

The correct option is B 6glsinθ2

Initial total energy of the rod:

Ei=P.E+K.E=mgl2+0

Final total energy of the rod:

E=P.E+K.E=mgl2cosθ+12ml23ω2

From law at conservation of energy,

Ei=Ef

mgl2=mgl2cosθ+12ml23ω2

mgl2(1cosθ)=ml26ω2

g2×2sin2θ2=lω26

ω=6glsinθ2

Hence, (B) is the correct answer.
