A uniform rod of mass M and length L is standing vertically along the y -axis on a smooth horizontal surface as shown. A small disturbance causes the lower end to slip on the smooth horizontal surface and rod starts falling. The path followed by centre of mass of the rod during the fall is

A uniform thin rod of mass m and length L is standing vertically along the y-axis on a smooth horizontal surface, with its lower end at the origin (0,0). A slight disturbane at t = 0 causes the lower end t slip on the smooth surface along the positive x-axis, and the rod starts falling. (i) What is the path followed by the centr of mass of the rod during its fall? (ii) Find the equaiton to the trajectory of a point on the rod shape of the path of this point?

A uniform rod of mass m and length L is free to rotate in the vertical plane about a horizontal axis passing through its end. The rod initially in horizontal position is released. The initial angular acceleration of the rod is:

A thin homogeneous rod of mass m and length l is free to rotate in vertical plane about a horizontal axle pivoted at one end of the rod. A small ballof mass m and charge q is attached to the opposite end of this rod. The whole system is positioned in a horizontal electric field of magnitude E=(mg)/(2q) . The rod is released from, shown position from rest. What is the speed of ball when rod becomes vertical?

A rod of mass M and length L is falling vertically with speed v . Suddenly its one end gets stuck in a friciitonless hook. Find the angular velocity of the rod just after its end gets struck.

A uniform rod of mass m and length l is applied pivoted at point O . The rod is initially in vertical position and touching a block of mass M which is at rest on a horizontal surface. The rod is given a slight jerk and it starts rotating about point O this causes the block to move forward as shown The rod loses contact with the block at theta=30^(@) all surfaces are smooth now answer the following questions. Q. The acceleration of centre of mass of rod, when it loses contact with the block is

A rod of length L and mass m is kept vertically on the ground. Its potential energy is :

A horizontal metallic rod of mass 'm' and length 'l' is supported by two vertical identical springs of spring constant 'k' each and natral length l_(0) A current 'l' is flowing in the rod in the direction shown if the rod is in equilibrium then the length of each spring in this state is:
