A Uniform Rod (Length = 2

question 82

Multiple Choice

A uniform rod (length = 2.4 m) of negligible mass has a 1.0-kg point mass attached to one end and a 2.0-kg point mass attached to the other end. The rod is mounted to rotate freely about a horizontal axis that is perpendicular to the rod and that passes through a point 1.0 m from the 2.0-kg mass. The rod is released from rest when it is horizontal. What is the angular velocity of the rod at the instant the 2.0-kg mass passes through its low point?

• A) 1.7 rad/s
• B) 2.2 rad/s
• C) 2.0 rad/s
• D) 1.5 rad/s
• E) 3.1 rad/s
