Homework Statement
A student throws a stick of length l up in the air .At the moment the stick leaves his hand ,the speed of the stick's end is zero.The stick completes N turns just as it is caught by the student at the initial release point . Show that the height to which the centre of mass of the stick rose is h=πNL/4[/B]
The Attempt at a Solution
I assumed the stick will make n/2 revolutions when it reaches the max height and this gave me the angular displacement πnlg through this i found out angular velocity and substituted it in conservation of energy formula . where am i going wrong?[/B]
