A stick of uniform density with mass M = 8 kg and lengthL = 0.7 m is pivoted about an axle which is perpendicularto its length and located 0.15 m from one end. Ignore any friction between the stick and the axle.
a) What is the moment of inertia of the stick about this axle?
The stick is held horizontal and then released.
b) What is its angular speed as it passes through the vertical?
c) What is its angular acceleration as it passes through the vertical position?
d) What is the magnitude of the vertical component of the forceexerted by the stick on the axle when the stick passes through the vertical?
