A uniform thin rod
AB is equipped at both ends with the hooks shown and is supported by a frictionless horizontal table. Initially the rod is hooked at
A to a fixed pin
C about which it rotates with a constant angular velocity
ω1. Suddenly end
B of the rod hits pin
D and gets hooked to pin
D, causing end
A to be released. Determine the magnitude of the angular velocity
ω2 of the rod in its subsequent rotation about
D. (Assume length and mass of the hook is negligible. Pin
C &
D are lying on a same horizontal line)
