Question

A uniform square plate of mass $m$ is supported as shown. If the cable suddenly breaks, determine; (just after)
(a) The angular acceleration of the plate.

Open in App

Solution

So, angular acceleration $= \frac{l i n e a r a c c e l e r a t i o n}{b}$
when it is cut. It is free to rotate about the hinge point $(A)$
$F = m a$
$m g = m a \Rightarrow a = g$
