A uniform rod of mass `M` and length `L` falls when it is made to stand on a smooth horizontal floor. The trajectories of the points `P,Q` and `R` as shown in the figure given below is best represented by `:`

A

B

C

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Path of `Q` and `R` will intersect and will be on opposite to that of `P`.
Since there is no friction, the centre of mass will fall vertical downward. What the rod falls on the ground, it is shown as a dotted.
