Question

A uniform rod of mass M and length L is pivoted at one end such that it can rotate in a vertical plane. There is negligible friction at the pivot. The free end of the rod is held vertically above the pivot and then released. The angular acceleration of the rod when it makes an angle θ with the vertical is

Solution

The correct option is C 3g2Lsinθ
The moment of inertia of the uniform rod about an axis through one end and perpendicular to length is,
I=ML23
Torque (τ=Iα) acting on the centre of gravity of rod is given by :
τ=Mg[L2sinθ] or ML23α=MgL2sinθ
α=3g2Lsinθ
Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
