A thin rod of length L = 2 m, mass m = 3 kg, and moment of inertia I = 4.0 kg⋅m2 is hinged at the top. It is held in place at an angle θ = 40∘ to the horizontal by a horizontal wire, as shown at right. The wire is attached to the rod a distance z = 1.6 m from the hinge. The hinge exerts a force on the top of the rod as well as a constant magnitude frictional torque τ = 5 N⋅m that (along with the wire) tries to keep the rod from rotating. The wire is cut at time t = 0.2) What is the tension in the wire for t < 0? (Yes, you include the frictional torque in your analysis). 3) What is the horizontal component of the force exerted by the hinge on the rod just after the wire is cut? 4) What is the angular speed of the rod when it is vertical for the first time?
