rotational dynamics rod--please help!
A thin rod of length l and mass m is fixed at a far ends by a free pivot and held from rotating with a string attached at 3/4l and fixed toa ceiling. The moment of inertia of a thin rod about a far end is ml2/3
a) what is the pivot point exerting on the rod
The rope is cut at t =0 seconds. at t =0 seconds find:
b) the angular acceleration of the rod.
c) the transverse acceleration of the rod's center of mass.
d) the transverse aceleration of point A (the far end of the rod)
e) the force exerted by the pivot point
picture is attached.
