Acceleration of Beam with Inertia

AI Thread Summary
To determine the initial acceleration of end B of a suspended rod when the string on side B is cut, the relevant equations of motion must be applied. The mass of the rod is 1.40 kg, and its length is 57.0 cm. The moment of inertia for the rod is calculated using I = mL^2/3. Both translational and rotational dynamics are considered in the analysis, as the rod will experience both types of motion upon the string being cut. The initial acceleration can be derived from these principles, leading to a comprehensive understanding of the system's behavior.

A rod of length 57.0 cm and mass 1.40 kg is suspended at each end by a 44.0 cm string. The string on side B is cut. Find the magnitude of the initial acceleration of end B.

A BF=ma, I=mL^2/3Would both rotational and translational energy be applied? I really have no clue where to start

B is supposed to be on the right side of the beam, both have equal lengths

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
