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...- Ethidium

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...- Ethidium

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...- Ethidium
