FIGURE 6.6 shows a metre rule of mass 80 g if freely hinged at the end O. The other end of the ruler is raised until the rule is horizontal. It is then released. The moment of inertia of the rod is 13 ML2. Determine the angular acceleration of the rule immediately after it is released [ANS:14.7 rads-2]

FIGURE 6.6 FIGURE 6.6 shows a metre rule of mass 80 g if freely hinged at the end O . The other end of the ruler is raised until the rule is horizontal. It is then released. The moment of inertia of the rod is 1 3 M L 2 . Determine the angular acceleration of the rule immediately after it is released [ A N S : 14.7 r a d s 2 ]
