Homework Statement


I have this other exercise rigid in the plane, with which I am having problems.

The rod of mass m and length l, is released based on the vertical position of rest with the small roller end A resting on the slope. Determine the initial acceleration A.

(neglect friction and mass of the roller A)

The answer given by the book is [tex]a_A=\displaystyle\frac{g\sin \theta}{1-\frac{3}{4}\cos^2\theta}[/tex]

Homework Equations


I try to raise the moment equation, and Newton. But not me, not that I'm doing wrong. For this consider that the bar rotates about its center of mass.
[tex]I_{cm}=\displaystyle\frac{mL^2}{12}[/tex]
[tex]N-mg\cos\theta=0[/tex]
[tex]mg\sin\theta=ma_{cm}[/tex]
[tex]I_{cm}\alpha=\displaystyle\frac{L}{2}mg\sin\theta\cos\theta[/tex]

The Attempt at a Solution



[tex]\alpha=\displaystyle\frac{6g\sin\theta\cos\theta}{L}[/tex]
[tex]a_cm=g\sin\theta[/tex]

Then: [tex]a_A=a_{cm}+\displaystyle\frac{L}{2}\alpha=g\sin\theta+3g\cos\theta\sin\theta[/tex]

Greetings and thanks for posting.
