Question

One-fourth length of a uniform rod of mass m and length l is placed on a rough horizontal surface and it is held stationary in horizontal position by means of a light thread as shown in the figure. The thread is then burnt and the rod starts rotating about the edge. The coefficient of friction between the rod and the surface is μ. If the angle between the rod and the horizontal when it is about to slide on the edge θ=tan1(xμ13), find the value of x.

Solution

Figure (a) and (b)
ω: Decrease in gravitational potential energy = increase in rotational kinetic energy
mgl4sinθ=12I0ω2
=12[ml212+m(l4)2]ω2
ω=[24gsinθ7l]......(i)
α:α=τI
=mgl4cosθ[ml212+m(l4)2]
=12gcosθ7l....(ii)
Fy=may or mgcosθN=mat
or N=mgcosθmat =mgcosθml4α
Substituting value of α from Eq. (il), we get
N=47mgcosθ....(iii)
Rod begins to slip when
μNmgsinθ=man or 47μmgcosθmgsinθ=ml4ω2
Substitution value ofro from Eq. (i), we get
tanθ=4μ13
θ=tan1(4μ13)
