Rotational Motion · Rotational dynamics

A thin uniform rod (X) of mass

M

and length

L

is pivoted at a height

\left(\dfrac{L}{3}\right)

as shown in the figure. The rod is allowed to fall from a vertical position and lie horizontally on the table. The angular velocity of this rod when it hits the table top, is . (

g

= gravitational acceleration)

(1) $\sqrt{\dfrac32\dfrac{g}{L}}$
(2) $\dfrac{3}{\sqrt2}\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{L}}$
(3) $\dfrac{1}{\sqrt2}\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{L}}$
(4) $\sqrt{\dfrac{3g}{L}}$
