A slender rod is 90.0 cm long and has mass 0.120 kg. A small 0.0200 kg sphere is welded to one end of the rod, and a small 0.0800 kg sphere is welded to the other end. The rod, pivoting about a stationary, frictionless axis at its center, is held horizontal and released from rest.

Speed of 0.08 kg mass when it will reach to the bottom position is 1.94 m/s

Explanation:

When rod is released from rest then due to unbalanced torque about the hinge the system will rotate

Now moment of inertia of the system is given as

now we have

now we have

so we have

now by energy conservation we can say work done by gravity must be equal to change in kinetic energy

so we have

Now speed of 0.08 kg mass when it reaches to bottom point is given as

i think if it were me i whould divide 300 dide 15
