AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving for angular velocity when the initial angle θ is 30º and the final angle is 0º, with the bar mass and lengths specified. The user attempts to apply conservation of energy principles, noting that the initial state has zero velocity and angular velocity. There is some confusion about the terms used, such as V, w, v, and T1, but the general approach is acknowledged as correct. Participants emphasize the importance of showing work when posting homework problems. The conversation highlights the need for clarity in terminology and method in physics problems.

Homework Statement


the problem gave a initial θ=30º, bar mass=m
they want to know the angular velocity when θ=0º
AB=L/2 and BC=L/2

My attempt:
rest in the inicial state, so: v=0, w=0 and T1=0
using conservation of energy and V=w*L/2
I can find w( angular velocity)
bit I'm not quite sure that this is the right metod

thanks

read the rules about how to post homework problems. You have to show some attempt yourself.

sorry, i reposted it
 
I don't know what your w, V, v and T1 are but your basic idea is correct.
