Question
A uniform rod pivoted at its upper end hangs vertically. It is displaced through an angle of 60 and then released. Find the magnitude of the force acting on a particle of mass 'dm' at the tip of the rod, when rod makes an angle of 37 with the vertical.
Options:
A .  0.9(dm)g
B .  0.9√3(dm)g
C .  0.9√2(dm)g
D .  (910)(√5)(dm)g
Answer: Option C
:
C
Let I = length of the rod, and m = mass of the rod.
Applying energy principle
A Uniform Rod Pivoted At Its Upper End Hangs Vertically. It ...
(12)lω2O=mg(12)(cos37cos60)
12×ml23ω2=mg×12(4512)
ω2=9g10l=0.9(gl)
Again (m23)=mg(12)sin37=mgl2×35
α=0.9(gl)= angular acceleration.
So, to find out the force on the particle at the tip of the rod
F1centrifugal force=(dm) ω2l=0.9(dm)g
Fttangential force=(dm) ωl=0.9(dm)g
So, total force F=(F21+F2t)=0.92(dm)g
