Q. A rod of length $l$ is hinged at one end and kept horizontal. It is allowed to fall. The velocity of the other end of the rod is

System of Particles and Rotational Motion

Solution:

As the mass is concentrated at the centre of the rod, therefore,
$m g \times \frac{l}{2}=\frac{1}{2} l \omega^{2}=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{m l^{2}}{3}\right) \omega^{2}$
$\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\frac{3 g}{l}}$

Velocity of other end of the rod $v=\omega l=\sqrt{3 g l}$
