MHT CET · Physics · Rotational Motion
A thin uniform rod of mass ' m ' and length ' L ' is pivoted at one end so that it can rotate in a vertical plane. The free end is held vertically above pivot and then released. The angular acceleration of the rod when it makes an angle ' \(\theta\) ' with the vertical is [consider negligible friction at the pivot] ( \(\mathrm{g}=\) acceleration due to gravity)
