    How Does Torque Apply to a Rotating Rod on a Frictionless Surface?

    Thanks a lo Thanks a lot. I will try finding the kinematic relationship. I was also confused about another thing (it is a bit silly). The point of contact is accelerating horizontally right? But how exactly is it accelerating if there is no net horizontal force on it? The only forces acting on...

    How Does Torque Apply to a Rotating Rod on a Frictionless Surface?

    Homework Statement A uniform rod is released on a friction-less horizontal surface from rest. Initially, the rod makes an angle θ = 60° with the horizontal. What is the acceleration of the center of mass of the rod, just after release? Homework Equations Torque = Moment of Inertia × Angular...

    What Are Your Goals for Using PhysicsForums?

    I'm finishing high school and preparing for an entrance exam in which I will be competing with a million other people. Only the top 5000 or so get into reputed universities. I will be interacting a lot on this site and hope to learn some cool concepts while also trying to enrich others with some...
