    Finding Acceleration and Reaction Forces in Rotating Thin Rod on a Hinge

    Homework Statement A thin rod of mass 0.620 kg and length 1.08 m is at rest, hanging vertically from a strong, fixed hinge at its top end. Suddenly, a horizontal impulsive force (14.2 i ) N is applied to it. (a) Suppose the force acts at the bottom end of the rod. Find the acceleration of its...
