A slender uniform rod of mass M and length

  • fraction numerator 3 straight g over denominator 2 calligraphic l end fraction space cos space straight theta
  • fraction numerator 2 space straight g over denominator 3 space calligraphic l end fraction space cos space straight theta
  • fraction numerator 3 straight g over denominator 2 space calligraphic l end fraction space sin space straight theta
  • fraction numerator 2 space straight g over denominator 3 space calligraphic l end fraction space sin space straight theta

Solution

C.

fraction numerator 3 straight g over denominator 2 space calligraphic l end fraction space sin space straight theta
Taking torque about pivot τ = Iα
mg space sin space straight theta space calligraphic l over 2 space equals space fraction numerator straight m calligraphic l squared over denominator 3 end fraction space straight alpha
straight alpha space equals space fraction numerator 3 straight g over denominator 2 space calligraphic l end fraction space sinθ
