Homework Statement


Hand-drawn sketch of a rod of length l pivoted at a point on a horizontal line, tilted up, with a red dashed arc showing its swing to the ground, a label T = ? and the note gravity = g.



Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



failed to do some torque.

my first post so i don't know how to correctly write. sorry.

  • Hand-drawn sketch of a pendulum: a thick rod of length l hangs from a pivot at the top and swings out to the right, with a red arc showing its path to a point on a horizontal line. Labelled gravity = g at the bottom and T = ? at the upper right.

Ok jordanhuh I guess you have a stick of mass m that you are holding up at an angle theta and it is hinged at the base and you release it and it falls to the ground. Right? So what do you want to know about it, that is, what is the question?
 
Have you made an attempt at a solution? Are you sure the problem is asking for the time? With non uniform speed and non constant acceleration tangentially , angularly and centripetally, and small angle for theta with vertical, the problem is not easily solved .
