A stick is resting on a concrete step with 17 of its length


Question: A stick is resting on a concrete step with 1/7 of its length hanging over the edge. A single ladybug lands on the end of the stick hanging over the edge, and the stick begins to tip. A moment later, a second, identical ladybug lands on the other end of the stick, which results in the stick coming momentarily to rest 36.1° from the horizontal. If the mass of each bug is 3.09 times the mass of the stick and the stick is 11.5 cm long,

Part A: What is the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the stick at the instant shown?

Please do a step by step solution since I'm kind of lost with this question.
