Ok, thank you :) I have now tried to calculate the moment of inertia: I_GA=1/12*m/2*L^2 I_GB=--------II--------- That would give (using Steiners Theorem): I_G=I_GA+m/2*(L/4)^2+I_GB+m/2*(L/4)^2=2(1/12*m/2*L^2+m/2(L/4)^2)=L^2*m(1/12+1/16) I got the moment about G...

Thank you :)

Homework Statement The L-shaped bar of mass m is lying on the horizontal surface when the force P is applied at A as shown. Determine the initial acceleration of point A. Neglect friction and the thickness of the bar. (Sorry, don´t know how to get you a better picture) L...
