The rod (weight=W) is hinged at A. It is released from rest from the position shown in black.

1)What is the reaction from the hinge at this instant??

2)What is the reaction when the rod has rotated by 45 degrees?

  1. i meant ((root34)/8)W
    same as sambhav's

  2. i am not able to understand why we have to take the acceleration of centre of mass when the rod is in pure rotation......

  3. ok, I solved it like this(I think I have done a calculation mistake but concept is right)
    Loss in P.E.=gain in K.E.
    from here we will get omega.
    Impulse(along rod)-mg/root2=m(omega)^2(l/2)
    find alpha at that position.
    mg/(root2)-I(perpendicular to rod)=m(accn of COM)

    Now take net of I

  4. me, (and probably somay too) have taken impluse(along rod) = mg/root2

    i have not considered radial acceleration, so, i must say your answer is correct

  5. i took the most general case..
    impulse in X, Y lia..
    Acm lia perpendicular to the rod, alpha lia clockwise..

    then i set up 2 equations using newton's laws and one torque equation..
    also, Acm=L/2 alpha..

    isse a gya..
    interesting that i got the same ans as sambhav..

  6. arre yr somay dhang se pad, hum dono ne radial acceleration nhi lia, the CM of the rod is moving in a circle of radius l/2, so mw^2r vaali force bhi lagegi

    and btw, maine 3 tarah se kia, but since i didn't consider radial acc, answer vahi aaya

  7. okay.. haan..
    maine to bina dekhe hi likh dia..
    1st part mein aisa kuch nhi tha but 2nd part mein hoga.. nice ques..!!

  9. i am getting W root(58)/4 in part 2.

  10. 1. w/4

    2.
    after considering radial acc...along dir of rod....
    nd assuming components Fx Fy along nd Perpendicular to rod
    Fy = W/4root(2)

    Fx - W/root(2) = mv^2/(l/2)

    By COE.... v^2 = gl/root(2)
    Fx = 3W/root(2)

    Fnet = sqrt(Fx^2 + Fy^2) = root( 145/32)..
