If you are getting the same angular speed then I probably messed up the conservation of energy.
1/2 Iw^2=(M+m)gh
1/2 (0.0007875)(4.76)^2=(0.085)(9.8)(0.1676-0.1676coso)
0.008921=(0.085)(9.8)(0.1676-0.1676coso)
0.008921/(0.085)(9.8)=(0.1676-0.1676coso)
0.01071=(0.1676-0.1676coso)...
Homework Statement
A 75 g, 30-cm-long rod hangs vertically on a frictionless, horizontal axle passing through its center. A 10 g ball of clay traveling horizontally at 2.5 m/s hits and sticks to the very bottom tip of the rod. To what maximum angle, measured from vertical, does the rod (with...
