Problem 2. A uniform rod having a weight of 10 lb is pin-supported at A from a roller that rides on a horizontal track. If the rod is initially at rest, and a horizontal force of F = 15 lb is applied to the roller, determine the acceleration of the roller i.e. point A. Neglect the mass of the roller in the computations. The mass moment of inertia of a rod about its center of gravity is I = 1/12 mL^2 .

A thin uniform rod (length 1.2 m, mass 2.0 kg) is pivoted about a horizontal frictionless pin through one end of the rod. (The moment of inertia of the rod about this axis is ML^2/3). The rod is released when it makes an angle of 37° with the horizontal. What is the linear acceleration of its center of mass at the instant it is released (in m/s^2)?

A thin uniform rod (length $=1.00 \mathrm{~m},$ mass $=2.00 \mathrm{~kg}$ ) is pivoted about a horizontal frictionless pin through one of its ends. The moment of inertia of the rod through this axis is $\frac{1}{3} m L^{2} .$ The rod is released when it is $60.0^{\circ}$ below the horizontal. What is the angular acceleration of the rod at the instant it is released?
A uniform rod $\mathrm{AB}$ of mass $2 \mathrm{~kg}$ and length $1 \mathrm{~m}$ is placed on a wedge $\mathrm{O}$ To keep the rod horizontal, its end $\mathrm{A}$ is tied with a thread and the spring has tension $6 \mathrm{~N}$. The reaction of support $\mathrm{O}$ on the rod when the thread is burnt is $\left(g=10 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-2}\right)$ (a) $15 \mathrm{~N}$ (b) $40 \mathrm{~N}$ (c) $20 \mathrm{~N}$ (d) $25 \mathrm{~N}$
