Toque

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data



2. Relevant equations

Torque = R * Fsinθ
Torque = I * alpha

3. The attempt at a solution


I have no idea how to do this. The program is that they give me I with respect to the center of mass. I tried the solving the problem using I of the rod with respect to the pivot point whic is I = (1*m*r^2)/3

Hootenanny

Have you included the weight of the rod in your calculations?

Yea I did include the mass and I got the answer to be "2.48464381" and I got this answer wrong.`

It must have been a miscalculation. Did you take into account that the torques of the weight and of the force F act in opposite directions?

I'm stuck like Chuck.
